What happened with Mique Juarez?

[ThurstonW]

Does anybody know the status of Mique Juarez?  He announced a grad transfer from UCLA last spring and there was indication that he could play immediately with 2 years of remaining eligibility.  However, I don’t see him on the UTES roster.  I’m wondering if he didn’t clear the medical screening?

He was released by UCLA because of concussion protocol. He needed to pass medical screening at Utah. Could be quite wrong, but I believe his transfer to Utah occurred in May this year. Mique Juarez.There is other history: From 2016…UCLA. Apparently, BYU was once in the mix to sign Mique.The most recent information is in this Rivals thread: Now, Juarez will now have until spring ball of 2020, to fully heal up and there’s no question that the Utah medical staff will monitor his situation closely. More about the hold up is shown in a paragraph in that article.Bottom line: I believe he will join the team in 2020, but only if he is cleared to do so.

UteHub has gone wonky. Links not posting correctly. Sorry, cut and paste.

That link @cicampbe posted was about 500 characters long. I fixed it.

[UtahFanSir]

I had a full post with links that UteHub blew up…not sure why. At this point everyone knows. He’s a Ute, 2020.

It looks like he’s on the team…

Reviewing his twittering looks like he’s sitting out this season while finishing his degree at UCLA, but ready to play

I thought the plan was for him to finish his degree at UCLA this fall and join Utah for 2020.
