We really need a better PG
Deivon Smith was denied his instant eligibility waiver by the NCAA
Utes head coach Craig Smith says they will bring it to the appeals committee

Maybe a better 3 point shooter and scorer but Worster’s 11 ppg 6 rpg 5.3 ast and 1.4 TO isn’t too shabby.
It’s for depth not to replace. Having him would definitely be a positive
Yeah PG for depth. We need someone who can defend like Erickson but not be a turnover machine (I will say Erickson played really well against Hawaii)
We need a PG that we can use against teams with quick guards. It was exposed in the Houston and St. Johns losses. Worster is very effective against bigger PGs and ones that lack speed but gets in trouble with speed. It nullifies his size advantages.
NCAA is the worst organization ever. Why the hell are they in charge anymore?
They so rarely enforce anything anymore, it’s shocking when they do.
I am missing something, help me. It seems football players move freely, do basketball players have the same rules? Is Smith caught simply by a second move? Haven’t we seen football players make a second transfer? I wonder what the criteria is for a wavier that seems to come into play.
The criteria is whatever they feel like it is at the moment they make their decision. That’s a big reason why the NCAA is so loved.
Completely true, they just do whatever they feel like. Case in point, the NCAA granted Ian Martinez eligibility for USU. His case wasn’t as good as Deivon’s.
You would almost assume at this point the NCAA is actually a BOT. Understanding on what triggers the review process for an actual human is the key.
Bad news. We have not had a quick athletic guard since Smith took over. We will struggle against athletic teams that pressure the ball on defense and can take our guards off the dribble.
This looks like a Majerus team minus Andre Miller. Times have changed since then. You need 5 athletic players to switch on pick and roll.
