Hooray!

I think this is the reality of college sports now. I mean the portal is open while games are still going on. With the % of players who will enter the portal (not all will leave), if you don’t let any of them play you aren’t going to be able to field a team.

Keep in mind, some of these guys may return to the U. In many respects it’s a negotiating…[Read more]

If true, wonder if last season broke him? There were rumors that he and his parents basically made being Rising’s backup a contingent to him signing with Utah. If true, and I don’t really think it is, that could have majorly backfired on him.

would be awesome to have the Huntsman hopping like it used to.

based on wins and percentage overall, not head to head.

I personally think UHC is a gawd awful name. There really isn’t a name I liked less. My preference was 1. OZutlaws, 2. Mammoth, 3. Yeti.

I think they’ll lose to Houston too. But I wouldn’t be shocked by a Final Four run. My prediction is that they make it to the Sweet 16 and lose there.

Well, I hate to say it, but BYU legitimately has a chance to win it all this season. On the last 1.5 Mos they’ve been a top 10, maybe even a top 5 team. I don’t think they will win, but they are one of the few that can.

As much as I hate it. Considering the state of Utah basketball, I’m not going to complain about BYU.

Where are you getting your intel on the RBs? Isn’t the whole room new? What kind of practices are they holding at this point?

Hmm, not thrilled with an off-campus arena. Wouldn’t an arena be a great fit for the college life area?

Wow, I’m really surprised he gave that much detail at this point.

So will they be building an entirely new basketball arena or literally moving the Huntsman Center? I actually like the look of the Huntsman Center, I hope they move it but completely modernize the inside and locker rooms and such. (I honestly have no idea how dated any of that actually is, maybe it’s already all modernized).

Our defense will be solid again. We’ll be strong on the line and at LB. I’m sure we’ll be fine at secondary, but I would like to see a bit if an alteration in scheme. It seems our pass defense has been very much bend not break, but often breaks more than it should.

Everything else on the team i have no idea about. The whole offense is a crap…[Read more]

That’s awesome! Great job Utes!

So I’m stoked for this. But I hate the reality that if our NIL isn’t competitive we’ll still suck, doesn’t really matter how good of a coach Jensen is. So hopefully our NIL is very well funded. I at least want us to be able to compete with BYU for talent (and that is feeling like a tall order, sadly).

I do think that Free Agents would come if they are star #3 or something. Like if the Jazz got two top players, a star who wants to win more than be in LA would be gettable.

And therein lies the challenge.

True, but to play devil’s advocate a bit, Denver has been solid the last few years and it isn’t a destination either, heck, for that matter the two conference leaders are Cleveland and Oklahoma City. So it’s still possible for our markets to be successful, but to your point, it’s still hard to hold onto that talent and that hurts fans and fan interest.
