A candidate had to be a first-team All-American, a two-time All-Conference player or a conference Player of the Year, a statistical leader in a school record, have played for his country in an international competition, and played for four years at Utah.

They broke the rules for Bogut, and then again for Tom Chambers.

If you are questioning Vranes’s retired number, we’re done with this conversation.

It’s $70. They’ll be fine.

Yeah in the current age of college athletics, perhaps there’s a feeling that they can try anything – just throw some stuff to the wall and see what sticks.

I agree in a sense that I can’t bring myself to keep track of or cheer the Big 12 schools, aside from the Arizonas and CU. However, I must admit a large group of us attended the football game in Stillwater last season, and those fans were amazing. From their kindness and welcoming ways to the atmosphere, it was one of the best road trips I r…[Read more]

I like that Isaiah Thomas better anyway.

I’m the opposite of that. I have a ton of animosity towards most of the P12 schools so from day one I struggled to root for them and feel like a part of the conf. I used to have no issue outside of BYU rooting for any MWC/WAC teams, but I just never felt it with the PAC. I’m back in the saddle now, and have even softened my stance on Kansas now…[Read more]

Yup misc is the right place. I’ve done my own mudding and sanding for a long time. There are definitely some tricks and skills that make it easier and look better.

I think he’s pretty damned athletic for a 7’1″ kid. Just needs some touch on his shot.

Apologies, I intended something different. I think BYU lost both the Fanos (both highly recruited) partly due to Logan’s discontent.

Package deal can giveth and taketh, may be a good idea to keep Christian happy.

Fantastic news. Obviously there is a lot of runway between now and the ’27 signing day but this a great pickup. Warren will probably end up a 5*- something we have never signed out of high school. Having an inside track to his attention is really cool.

Great day to be a Ute!

One additional prospect of interest to follow after Thaddeus’ intention to join his brother Christian at Utah, is Damani Warren. The No. 23 overall recruit in the 2027 Rivals250, and No. 2 wide receiver has lived with the Thatcher family for almost four years and they c…

Thaddeus, also known as Jude in the New Testament. St. Jude is the patron saint of “Lost Causes” so we got that going for us.

LOL…that would really be a unique approach. But, when lawyers and agents get involved, anything is possible. Essentially, they’d be trying to convince the decision-makers that common sense doesn’t apply when it comes to “student-athletes.” Gotta love it. I’m not blaming Lovering for anything, since he’s just following his interest, but, in…[Read more]

My guess is you are mostly talking about football. If so, you are right. There are no real elite teams in the XII.

In basketball, however, there are several.

That’s probably another reason why I’ve been receptive to the change: I value college basketball more than I value college football. And through a basketball lens, going from the Pac to the…[Read more]

That’s definitely understandable. I think a good share of Utah fans would feel the same.

I’ve been able to make the switch, partly because some of our mates are easy for me to like. On top of that, I now have even more contempt for USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington because they killed the Pac 12 for nothing more than a bigger check to overpay…[Read more]

The thinking may be to combine all the time he missed with injury across those four years and argue to the NCAA that he should get a grad year to make up for it. If so, I’d be shocked if that works.
