I wish I could get my hands on a “welcome home” Al Jensen shirt. Looks like they gave them to everyone in attendance.

This is one of those rumors or stories that I wish I could get on the record type confirmation. This seems like ego and idiocy by Smith.

I’m in Whitty!

Thanks for putting this together!

That’s what I say…maybe a 1000…as you alluded to, I think the fact that it took place on a workday and started just after most people would be getting off work kind of limited attendance. I noticed A LOT of people of retiree age in the crowd. I was in the second row and there were plenty of spots available for seating. I’m glad though that…[Read more]

We could develop into a tourney team for 2025-26. It’s doable in a single year now more than ever.

Maybe 1000 there. 6PM tough time to get there on a work night for some. (Fortunately I have very easy going managers who will let me shift my hours and hour or two for events and appointments).

I watched it live on You Tube and it didn’t look like there were a lot of people in attendance. I would like to have seen several thousand people show up but that probably isn’t realistic given the state of the program. Did any of you go to the Huntsman? I am really hoping that Alex gets good fan support and builds a strong staff.

Thanks for the summary proud Ute. I have a good feeling about Jensen. The stars are aligning at just the right time. Go Alex!! Go Utes!!

Good summary, thank you.

Yeah, it sounds as if Smith was either very stubborn in his ways or he had some paranoia that former fan favorites would upstage him. Not sure what it is, but if you get offered that kind of help for free and don’t take it…. I don’t know what your thought process is.

If this in indeed true…

Of all the questionable decisions Smith made or was rumored to make, this would be by far the worst. You have a university legend of an ex-player, all-American, longtime NBA player, experienced pro coach who calls you and wants to work on your staff as a VOLUNTEER…and you say no!?

If you make decisions that bad, stay…[Read more]

This is correct. He offered to be on Craig’s staff for free but Smith said no thanks.

I’m sure you thought that was quite the zinger, however Smith’s son was not the GM. He is an administrative admin.

Several reports indicated Andre tried to join Craig Smith’s staff last year, but Smith ultimately declined. Sounds very much to me like Andre has the interest.

What? You mean he doesn’t have a son that would make a good GM? 🙂

Andre has a net worth of about 50 million I don’t think money is a concern.

He loves to Coach and he wants to do it at Utah.

He’s living his best life.

I don’t think Alex would take the job if the NIL wasn’t competitive
