That is awesome. Like I said in the other Singer post, we’ll know for sure at the end of this year (assuming he stays healthy) if our WR issue is talent/scheme/coaching.
We know Singer is talented. We know he can catch the ball.
Another note – It will be great to have a legit deep threat on the team. That could help our run game in a very big way.

I guess we’ll know once and for all after this next year if our lack of production at WR is a talent issue or a scheme issue (assuming everyone stays healthy). We now have at least one guy who

Yep. We want to win as many games as we possibly can. If we win our conference, we get into the playoff. The strength of our schedule means very little now.

If so, that is very good for us.

It was odd to me at the time that UCLA wanted the guy. We replaced him with someone who is at least as good.

it’s still more than doubled the score of a Pac12 basketball team. Would that have happened when Smith took over? Not even close. I’m not claiming this team is on their way to a Pac12 championship. I just think any argument that Smith isn’t doing a good job with this team is flat out wrong.

In case anyone was wondering, we won this game because we nearly doubled their rebound total for the game. We didn’t play especially great, but we absolutely dominated on the boards, which suggests we were playing our butts off. That’s good coaching fellas.

Yes, a harder schedule. Look up the stats. SOS is much higher for this year’s team than last year’s at this point in the season.
I can discount Battin’s stats from earlier in his career. I can discount them, and I did discount them. So what? He got worse year over year.
This is a stupid thing to argue over. I could go deeper into this with…[Read more]
chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Ben Carlson in the forum Basketball (Men) 4 months, 1 week ago
Their career averages don’t tell the whole story. Battin got worse and worse pretty much every year at Utah. The player that Battin was as a freshman and Sophomore is not the player he was when he left Utah. For whatever reason, his confidence was destroyed and he became a reluctant shooter.
Battin’s Sr year averages: 17 minutes, 4.4 points, 3…[Read more]

He’s better than Battin by quite a bit. Battin wasn’t a good shooter (and often passed up open looks), defender, or distributor. Carlson isn’t great, but he is decent at a lot of things. It is also important to remember that Riley Battin started for us somehow, and Ben Carlson is our 4th big man.

lol no! Don’t do this again please. We have possibly healthy Rising, and nobody proven behind him. I believe Wilson will be a top 5 all time Ute QB, but he hasn’t proven anything yet.

This team and this coach are going places.

I don’t disagree at all. When I said, “our last WR’s” I was referring to the most recent transfers to Utah (Pittman and more specifically Simmons).
I agree with 2008 that it can’t be a coincidence. Catching a ball is a funny thing. If you know the ball is coming to you, and you are calm, it isn’t hard to catch something. If you aren’t expecting…[Read more]

I don’t care about measurables. I don’t care about potential. I would rather have the JC WR that produced well than the 4 star recruit that is transferring from a big-time program because of lack of PT. Of course.
We need WRs that can catch a football. Our last WR transfers (and so many Ute WRs before them) could not do this.

Hopefully Jake Wahlin pans out. He was a fairly highly rated prospect. If he can improve over the offseason like our other bigs under this staff have, he will be a good player for us. I have no idea what his play style is. He could either be a replacement for BC, or a replacement for Bajema depending on whether or not he projects as a wing or a PF.
