Utah needs DTs more than DEs

He can score, although I wish he’d have been a little more efficient from the field (45% FG and 30% 3PT). Really like the 75% FT shooting and the fact that he improved shooting efficiency across each level from freshman to sophomore year. A little turnover prone though (3+ per game). Looks like a very good defender. A great addition to the…[Read more]

That is one of my biggest hopes for Utah basketball is to be seen once again as legit. I feel like we went too long not being in the mix in March, and with a coach whose name just wasn’t known by anyone outside of the local fan base. A staff that just didn’t have NBA credibility and players leaving every year for other college programs rather…[Read more]

He was one of the top scorers in the portal, so it’s probably safe to assume that most of the programs that contacted him offered.

In general, probably most teams that contact players in the portal do so with an offer in mind.

Seems like a good defender. He doesn’t have a janky shot, so his three point shooting isn’t a total liability. It will be nice to have another guy that isn’t so three point line oriented.

We desperately need someone to carry the load down low on defense, and we need more three point shooting. If we can do that we should be much improved with…[Read more]

Sorry for the duplicate post. M Ute posted while I was typing mine. Just a bit of caution on these lists that recruits or agents put out. There’s a lot of tire kicking going on and a big difference between being contacted and actually being offered.

I don’t see minnesota on the list, but there was an article about him being considered by the gophers

Brown had a ton of offers from big programs.

Baylor
Boston College
Butler
Clemson
Colorado
Creighton
Florida State
Memphis
Mississippi State
Murray State
Ole Miss
Providence
Seton Hall
SMU
TCU
Texas A&M
Texas Tech
Vanderbilt
Wake Forest
Washington State
West Virginia

That right there shows Utah can land some big fish.

A lot of players would see Utah as a good opportunity. I don’t think it would be very difficult to sell prospects on playing in SLC.

A high major team in one of the best leagues with the best visibility where you don’t have to compete with a bunch of other blue chippers, like you would at Kansas, Houston and Arizona.

That, plus a staff replete…[Read more]

Saw that.

It’s so interesting how portal timing works. Just makes you wonder what goes into it.

Wahlin, Little, Lovering and Erickson all jumped in pretty quickly, but Keller and Dawes waited a little. Ausar and Sharavjamts still haven’t jumped in, but they probably will at some point.

For a few years there, it felt like Lud was going to commit to a TE heavy offense…not sure what happened. Kuithe (before we went down last season) should have been a huge security blanket for IW/whomever was playing QB, but it felt like he was rarely given a chance. The rest of the TE room was largely ignored and/or had a tough time making the…[Read more]

I think we are in a better place with NIL and feel the biggest reasons for leaving Utah is to move down from the Big-12 to find more playing time or having played well can make a better team. Utah will still be a destination better than lesser conferences. One factor to consider is the likelihood that Utah will be better next year and will have…[Read more]

I think Joseph Smith was a child rapist, so fk. no I’m not a BYU guy.

I’ve actually been correct on most (89%) of my postings, you’re just missing the big picture.

Per On3: Keller has now entered the portal.

If Keller can play more like he did vs Butler, I’d be much more interested in keeping him. I guess we’ll just have to trust Jensen and his guys to make the right call on whether he’s worth keeping and developing.
