Utah is being forced to go back to the recruiting strategy that made us successful in the first place, going after potential diamonds in the rough. Hopefully it works out as well as it used to. This may be a better strategy in the new NIL world, but it could also backfire horribly. We’ll see how it works out.
Hopefully, we can win a bunch of games this year and start pulling in more promising recruits.
This is actually not the case. At the coaches clinic Scalley was pretty up front that the portal and schollie limit make it so Utah is really only recruiting kids they know can contribute year one. There may be some diamond in the rough types that fit that mold, but the coaches have to be confident the kid can contribute year one.
