It seems like the team has switched recruiting philosophies, at least on offense. For a few years there it seemed like they were just going after whoever had the highest rating. Now it seems like they’ve switched to going after guys that have demonstrated an ability to fit a specific need. I think this will work out better for the team.

Apparently it does not work on OSX or at least on Sequoia 15.1.

I will gladly eat crow if the football team can turn it around. last two years were pathetic at best.

still glad Ganther, Witted and Ludwig are gone.

Smith is a terrible coach, his rotation, and limited player use is ugly and will cost them several games. another pathetic year in Men’s BB

Love the pickup! A ‘Larry Czonka’ type, … tough, tough running back. Shula remolded Czonka’s running game back in the day to literally become a human ‘bulldozer’. A little smaller but Washington may give the Utes the same. You need 2-3 yards, you get 2-3 yards!

BTW, I’m eating some crow right now, too. Thought Whitt was all washed up.…[Read more]

Exactly. We have not had a good QB for two seasons now. I would take a good season.

You never saw Larry K’s team fight from a big halftime deficit like at the game vs Saint Mary’s? Give me a break…how about this 22 point comeback in the last 10 minutes of the game versus UCLA in 2019 at Paoley Pavilion. This is the best Utah comeback of ALL TIME.

I’ve been attending games since 1976, I’ve seen the good and the bad. Krysta could recruit talent, he rarely retained it. His best team made the sweet 16 because Delon Wright was great floor general. This team is better than last year, I wish BC had had Ausar to play off of. Whalin is a taller Alex Jensen and Miro Little is a guard that would sta…[Read more]

I’m a season ticket holder and I’ve been one since I moved back to Utah in 2019. I attend all home games, no matter the competition unless I have some health issue. As such, I believe that I have an educated, though not expert, view of Utah basketball. I’m glad that you still have faith in Smith because I sure don’t. Maybe this team could be…[Read more]

I just wonder how these kids will handle paying their fed and state taxes , agent fees and how to report expenses on the returns.

Meh, I appreciate it but it’s OK. I don’t base my self esteem on my utehump vote count. Since I’ve had 2 kids play NCAA sports, my perspective on what college sports are really about is probably different from most peoples’ perspectives. To me, college sports are more about developing student-athletes into adults and teaching them skills that will…[Read more]

He may declare for the NFL but I’m guessing his size will keep him from being drafted. He may make more money playing college ball.

why would anyone downvote this? WTF?

Of course I wouldn’t think you were a bad parent for attempting to instill important values on your kid. I think that is great.

two competing values are at play: 1) going after your dreams, 2) learning to honor your word… integrity… that sort of thing. The way I see it, one of those things ends in 4 years or less, and the other lesson will…[Read more]

If your boss doesn’t think you are worth paying attention to, just stick it out anyway? Come on. You don’t believe that, and you wouldn’t tell your kid that either.

Funny you should mention that. I do have a kid playing an NCAA sport right now (not at Utah), and he’s thinking of transferring. Some issues with the team and with his playing time.…[Read more]

Too bad. I didn’t know he was 1 and done.

I get what you are saying, and I agree with the sentiment of it, but I have to disagree. These kids have 4(ish) years to make their dreams of making it big come true. 4 more years of pursuing their dream. If you had a kid who was an athlete at one of these schools, who had a dream of making the NFL, or just had a dream of getting real playing time…[Read more]

I agree. The team has been better than the previous past two years.

I disagree, but for different reasons that others have given. I simply don’t like the message that the portal sends to these kids: That if you’re not getting what you want, just quit and go somewhere else and keep doing that until you do get what you want. At an impressionable age, we should be trying to teach our young people the opposite.
