That name brings back a lot of good memories. Watching those teams at the Huntsman as a kid was so much fun. I even remember making a sign that said “look out above, look out beneath. Here comes Brandon, here comes Keith”. It’s sad to hear of him passing.

Very sad.  I heard this on the radio earlier.

He was part of Utah’s greatest recruiting class which included Miller, Doleac, Hansen, Jensen,  and Jessie.

[Distantute]

Played in the maui and beat michigan (and one other big name program) in that recruiting class’s first season. Jesse was a favorite of mine. Sad to hear.

Not sure if the Utes have been to a Maui Invitational since then. Is it still a thing? I remember Bobby Knight post game saying, ” Doleac??? Where does Rick find these guys?”

RIP Brandon
