Seems like a tweener to me: Not a pure PG (averages less than 1 assist per game) but too small to be a SG.

That said, his shooting is badly needed. 89% FT and 45% from 3? Eye popping numbers.

Bottom line is, any new kicker is going to be unproven.
Incoming freshman? Unproven.
Guy off your own bench? Unproven.
Transfer? Unproven.
Guys who are proven – who have a track record and have been executing recently – aren’t transferring.

First time since 1985 that a placekicker and a punter from the same school were taken in the same draft. First time ever that they were both the first taken in their respective positions.

There’s no conspiracy and I never said there was. She’s a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. Now I think we all agree that the hole should be square, but it’s not. And she’s not trying to become a round peg, which is on her and her coaches.

So Utah and Mykala could be doing more to manage the situation, and that’s on them. But the NCAA…[Read more]

Yeah rather than stand there smiling and looking pretty when she gets jobbed on a score, she actually shows some displeasure. The USOC won’t stand for any independent thought from their gymnasts. She’ll get passed up for a spot on the team in favor of some other gymnast with lower qualifying scores because of “intangibles”, just like how it went…[Read more]

Sorry, that dog won’t hunt. They’re on academic probation for a reason, and that reason is that they are actively pressuring professors to not teach scientific principles that go against doctrine. They’ve fired professors for the same reason and they continue to do so (there are several new professors at the U who were fired by BYU-P.

I feel like she’ll be back. She’s the best collegiate gymnast in the country but she doesn’t get the scores because she’s controversial. I feel like the USOC will want to avoid putting controversial gymnasts on the team – they don’t want to get jobbed on scores in the Olympics because of Mykala’s reputation. And also in the wake of the Larry…[Read more]

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the cupboard looks like this every year. And every year we’re starting from scratch because of transfers.
Larry can get the talent here, but he hasn’t shown me he can keep the talent here.
Give me a couple years of no transfers of significant impact (because it will never go totally to zero in this day…[Read more]

Honestly, every college player should do this every year.

Thanks – good story. And I’m glad you ended up at the better program for your career choice.
Honestly I think the academic quality of BYU-P is one of the greatest myths out there. While I admit they have some good programs, 90% of them are better at Utah. And then there’s the whole part about BYU-P being on academic probation. That by itself…[Read more]

BD, I’m curious: What made you “choose the red” as you got older?

My comment about the ownership group being stuck in the 1950s has nothing to do with their response to the racism incident (which was perfectly handled by them). I’m referring to other aspects of the way they do business that aren’t public right now.

I have done business with the Millers in the past. There are NDAs in place to consider, but let’s…[Read more]

Honestly, why would any big name free agent come to Utah? Jazz fans this year have done nothing but reinforce long-held NBA stereotypes of Utah. And now, add to that cheering for opponents over their own team. Jazz fans set their team back more than they understand this season.
Who wants to play for fans like that? Who wants to play in front of…[Read more]

Where did I defend him? I want him gone too. I’m just realistic enough to know that (a) it’s not going to happen because of his contract, and (b) we’re not going to get anyone better right now.

I just get tired of your whiny posts that don’t offer anything constructive. Even a baby can piss and moan.

We should fire Larry and hire Mike Krzyzewski. Why hasn’t somebody thought of that? I bet that would solve a lot of our problems.

Really I should be the AD.

I do a lot of coaching in the local youth soccer scene. After the red and white game yesterday, one of my fellow coaches called Greg Maas (UVU’s men’s soccer coach) and asked him if he could set us up with a kicker

When he came in, Harlan was known for being a good fundraiser. So far, I’d say he’s as advertised.

Wonder if it will be renamed Rice-Eccles-Garff Stadium?

I think he got reelected with 104% of the vote. What an amazing leader! You have to be pretty amazing to get more votes than there are voters.

I dated a BYU-P student for 18 months. She hated BYU-P. She only went there because it was the only school where her parents would pay her tuition. And I was shocked about how many of her friends and roommates were in the same boat – I’d say it was 30-40%.
See, there’s this fear within some parts of LDS culture that children will leave home…[Read more]

For the umpteenth time, *they are not protesting the honor code!* They’re protesting the way everyone is encouraged to turn each other in and the victim blaming.

I don’t like the HC either (it’s stupid and unnecessary), but everybody needs to get their facts right before they opine on it.
