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.

Honestly, that’s reasonable. Good points. I totally understand fan impatience here. I mean Utah has never been consistently the crappy team in the league when the Miller’s owned it, despite being one of the smallest markets. I’m ok being patient here and giving benefit of the doubt, but i get others not feeling the same way.

It is concerning. I hate the tanking strategy. But I do think we need to give Ainge a chance to right the ship. He had huge success in Boston, I think he needs more than two years.

It is hard to see the Cavs having the success with Donovan Mitchell. I know he wanted to leave Utah, but I suspect they could have convinced him to stay and built a…[Read more]

Reading the comments here and considering, I’ll say that I’d 100% rather coach in the pros than in college. It’s sooooo much easier. With recruiting, transfer portal, NIL, boosters, and more, the college game is much more work and stressful. If be hesitant to leave too.

I can’t wait for there to be a new governance model for college sports. It’s the wild west right now.

The team is what it is. They’ve definitely over performed and that reflects well, but they are very flawed. The free throw thing is inexcusable.

Nothing will change this season. The hope is that the new coach will put the team on the right trajectory.

Parenthetical, I’ll add, I wonder if CBB teams will consider what North Carolina is doing in…[Read more]

Wow, I’m really surprised. Hopefully we can find a great coach and really start driving NIL.

Probably asphalt. My wife had looked into metal roofing too. But we think Asphalt may be out best option.

I love the WBC. I can’t wait for it next spring.

Appreciate that, but I don’t live in the area. I’m in Idaho.

We are we have 2 or 3 more companies scheduled.
