AZUTE

Doesn’t matter who they hire until the university decides to put some real money into the program it’s always gonna be a bottom D1 team.

It’s the only sports team at the U that hasn’t had some kind of facilities upgrade since joining the PAC. That should tell you all you need to know.

Do a quick internet search of pac12 baseball facilit…[Read more]

Nate was recently named an Elite 11 finalist.

Side note: USC QB commit Devin Brown and E11 finalist recently transferred to Corner Canyon HS

If it’s not Texas and Oklahoma why bother.

UNLV brings nothing to the table and teams like Colo St and Boise bring even less.

Go big or go home

Half the HS is America didn’t play football last season so take is award with a big * next to it

Some kids just wanna get out of the Utah bubble.

I think that is the case with Ryan and Maile.

Utah can offer for offers sake but it won’t make a difference.

Roberts has a pain in the ass HC that does everything he can to make sure his players go “bigtime”. Utah has no trouble getting DTs so no reason to deal with that DB if you don’t have to…[Read more]

Prepare to be disappointed

Please No….

6’10” 185 lbs….Yikes

Two years at USU. First year was a redshirt and he missed last year after suffering a season ending leg injury.

In conclusion he’s way way way undersized coming off a serious injury and there are much better bigs in the portal

With that said and knowing Smith and his limited ability to recruit I expec…[Read more]

It goes all the way back to Kansas hiring Danny Manning’s Dad

6’9” 5* PF Patrick Baldwin Jr just committed to Milwaukee university of the Horizon league because his Dad is the HC Coach there.

So yeah if it means a package deal to get top recruits you do it.

You can’t have a conversation because you don’t have answer to my question.

Your passive aggressive answer is only proof of that.

How long should we wait before we expect some results from smith?

So how long before we should expect results?
6 months?
A year?
10 years?
Cause that’s how long we waited for Larry

Some Coaches who were hired by other programs after Smith are already pulling in major recruits from the portal.

But somehow in your world Smith gets a free pass until an appropriate amount of time has passed

But but but Smith is awesome he just needs 18 months to 2 years to get settled in and really start recruiting

Let me guess you wanted to give Larry more time??

Stop being an apologist for everything Utah Basketball.

Two months is more then enough time to recruit quality pac12 level players out of the portal.

Smith is not a good recruiter that’s why he hired Slocum and Morris to do the work he can’t

In 30 days you’ll be saying it’s only been 3 month…[Read more]

Tuttle was such a wuss Utah had to tell him and his Dad he was the only QB Utah would sign that year.

Costelli knew Utah would bring in multiple transfer QBs this year but he’s not afraid of a little competition and still signed with Utah

Don’t get those two QBs mixed up again they are on different levels mentally

Yeah Torres has + + arm talent. He can make every throw with ease. Needs some development
But his arm strength is 5*

Zamora didn’t decommit. Utah Coaches pulled his offer. Happens all the time at every college all over the country.

Coaches will take an early commit but if a better prospect comes along Coaches will tell the first commit he no longer has an offer and he needs to move on.

Zamora has plenty of time to land on his feet with another offer.…[Read more]

Apples to oranges.

The transfer portal as it is today didn’t exist in Larry’s first year. Larry was forced to find a bunch of guys that didn’t belong on a Pac12 roster just to have a full roster.

Smith SHOULD have a much easier time rebuilding the roster to be competitive next season.

There are tentatively two spots left. Pelle is in a hol…[Read more]

Currently two spots left but don’t be surprised if there is at least one more transfer out.

Some names that have been mentioned.
Oklahoma PF/C Kur Kuath 6’10” with 7’4” wingspan played at Kearns HS and then SLCC before going to OU. Would be great depth in the front court.

Boston College PF Steffon Mitchell 6’8” was recruited by Smith when he…[Read more]

What is smith’s record in the big dance while at USU?

Qualifying for the big dance in the MWC isn’t as big of a deal as you think it is.
