I thought I read or heard somewhere that Ezra IS in the portal.

You noted the problem that can be brushed over. Coaches work and hope to get or develop a star player and leader like Rising that can expand the capability of the football team. And it is hard to recruit a quality backup behind a star. But when such a player develops health issues, it is natural for the team to pull for the return rather than take…[Read more]

I don’t know much about Traore, but I will be happy if Ezra and Mike stay, and hopeful for Keller if he decides to stay. Keller is a good shooting big, but he needs some significant improvement before I see him playing a lot of minutes on what I hope is a much better team, but I think he has all the tools.

Do you think this is a good thing? Or is it Beck slowly but surely starting to adjust to Whit’s ball control play calling.

I don’t say it is a good or bad thing yet, but I felt like Beck was brought in with his QB to run his style of offense.

I don’t say that ball control is a bad thing, just would like to see Beck’s Offense installed and…[Read more]

Awesome. He knows he’ll get his payday soon enough.

I am sure that he is compensated nicely by Utah donors. He just didn’t go looking for a better offer after the 2024 season. I appreciate his loyalty.

Ausar sure did improve his free throw shooting. Proud of him for that. I’d love to have him stay if he wants to, but I agree that we can’t overpay him.

Apart from Dawes bring the #1 priority, id say #2 is bringing in a GOOD point guard, someone who is smart and runs the floor well and be the one the offense runs through. All successful teams have…[Read more]

Your basis for worrying about him blocking is that he can play multiple positions? I don’t get the logic because there is none. I mean shit. We want a guy that can block at TE to sometimes line up as a Full back and block from the backfield.

Dawes would be #1 on my list to retain. Potential 20pt 10reb guy. Reminds me of Shawn Marion. AJ will fine tune his game.
#2 Wahlin: hard to find a 6’9 player that can move and run the court. He can develop a corner 3 and an occasional drive to the basketball. He is a the ultimate role player and local kid.
#3 Mike S: many might disagree but he h…[Read more]

Utah getting him to exit the portal so quickly indicates that Utah was willing to give him what he asked for, which almost certainly means Utah’s NIL coffees are much improved.

So glad KD will be back in a Utah uniform!

I agree he deserves more credit, but I’m not going to excuse the last two years as bad luck. Sure, part of it was bad luck, and I don’t think Whitt is as much the problem as some of you seem to think, but it is ultimately his responsibility.

Our offense wasn’t just okay when Rising was healthy, it was very good. The scheme fit our personnel…[Read more]

Well, if this Ficklin kid is as good as he’s showing in practice, it might reduce the odds of even having IW on the team.

Will always remember Hunter’s OT trey against his former team to help us beat BYU and will remember his work ethnic. Had some rough games, but always played with maximum effort. Wish him well.

I am sooooo happy!! He is going to be a big factor next year!!

Charlie, I like your posts and positive outlook. You’re always pro-Utah. But really? Whitt committed QB malpractice the past 2 seasons (not his first offenses btw) and you want to chalk it up to bad luck?

We see this one differently.

Beck is new to me but he appears to have 2 welcomed aspects. His history seems to be tuned into making a plan around what his players can do as opposed to getting them to fit his plan. Second, he appears to be open to methods beyond the common and typical. If my impressions are right, and I don’t have much at all to go on, Beck may create an…[Read more]
