Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Utah adds Finish point guard in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 day, 21 hours ago
This roster is looking good! By far the most athletic team the Utes have had in years. AJ is tuned in and knows exactly how he wants the team to look. First time in years I’m excited for BB season. This team has a Houston feel to it. AJ will develop these athletes into team and role players.

Unfortunately there is no salary cap or restrictions on free agents in college. Can imagine what the NBA would look like if the same rules applied.

Has Smith and Ainge run the Jazz into the ground? Tanking two years in a row for a 14% chance of getting a potential superstar seems a big risk. Indiana is proving that you don’t need 2 or 3 superstars to win. Sloan is rolling over in his grave. SGA is a developmental superstar. The pacers and thunder are winning with up tempo offense and lock d…[Read more]

So often something happens to keep us grounded on what is most important in life. Thoughts and prayers to Baylor nation.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic This doesnt sound good for anyone involved. RE: Retzlaff in the forum They So Poo Poo 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Tony I think the core of the problem is putting religious shame on women for having normal desires. Resulting in guilt and shame after the fact. No means no reguardless of religion or any other excuse. It’s a no win situation for everyone involved and Utah State has had the same issues in the past. Utah State got mocked for addressing the p…[Read more]

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic DISCUSS: No names on Utah Football jerseys – instead they're putting messaging in the forum Football 2 weeks, 4 days ago
In this day and age all jerseys should say “show me the money”.
Let’s keep politics out of Ute hub. If you want to bash progressives or conservatives just go to your preferred news channel to justify your opinions.
Sports should unite us and give us a break from the divide that exists. Maybe we as fans should wear peace ☮️ and love jerse…[Read more]

Worst thing about NIL is has bought (not brought) cougar fans out of the closet. Fo sure.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Honest Concern in the forum Football 2 weeks, 6 days ago
The past two years have been hard to watch. Injuries, poor coaching decisions, NIL, transfer portal, late games and escalating ticket prices have tapped me out. First time since the early 70’s I did not renew my season tickets.
It has been a phenomenal run for me. Going with my dad then my daughter and my grandkids. The lows then highs have b…[Read more]

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Projected Depth Chart? in the forum Football 3 weeks, 2 days ago
One factor that doesn’t show up on the depth chart is leadership and work ethic. This team will be much different than the past two years. Hard to be a leader when you’re hurt (Rising). Dampier by all accounts is a proven leader and has accepted his leader role on this team. Snowden Barton Fano Johnson all good leaders on defense. Add on the dis…[Read more]

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Projected Depth Chart? in the forum Football 3 weeks, 2 days ago
Thanks for the list. Starting offensive line looks really solid. Tight ends could be good if Andrew’s is as good as advertised. The rest are unfamiliar names and have had success with previous teams so 🤞. WR and depth look suspect.
Defense looks pretty solid at most positions. Linebackers, nickel and safety’s look really good. Good speed on the…[Read more]

Can you imagine Sloan being told to tank. He would resign. What’s the analytics of the Jazz winning an NBA title? Put the best team on the floor every night and try and win every game. The goal should be to make the playoffs every year and let the chips fall.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic You can’t tell me in the forum NBA 3 weeks, 3 days ago
Holladay you make some great points. Obviously management agrees with your takes. Analytics have taken over decision making in all professional sports and even college. When an old school coach like Whitt uses analytics in game situations you know it has to be working.
As a fan and competitor tanking is not in my vocabulary. I can’t imagine p…[Read more]

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic You can’t tell me in the forum NBA 3 weeks, 5 days ago
I agree Kellso. I’m tired of all the analytics, the tanking, sitting guys out. Setting up so we can win later. All that so we have a 14% chance of getting 1 player that isn’t proven or could get hurt and never live up to expectations. Stockton Malone era had no 1st picks and made it to the finals playing as a team and good coaching.
Only 1 tea…[Read more]

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic New Running Back Commit in the forum Football 1 month ago
Looks like a good piece to the RB room. In the NIL era we can’t compete for the top guys. So do you recruit and pay freshman who are not physically ready to play or experienced players that can play immediately? Besides Bernard what other RB has developed and stayed? I think the coaching staff is adjusting on the fly and will put the best team o…[Read more]

You make some great points Chin. Length can have different meanings. To me length is tall, long arms and able to jump quick to out reach the other guy and block shots. Height is how tall you are. Not the same.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Babacar Faye in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 month ago
Is Keita considered a rim protector at 6’8”? I would say he is. Long arms and quick jumping ability can be effective rim protectors. Plus be able to guard the perimeter better in pick and roll switches.

Amazing someone figured out that tall unathletic players can’t play defense or rebound. Times have changed and you better be athletic to compete.

Hiding injuries and giving false hope to fans and media is not a good look for the program or for the injured players. The “competitive advantage” is overblown. You don’t think ASU knew Cam couldn’t throw?
If you’re going to play “next man up” mantra quit playing games with players heads. Get the backups ready to play and be honest about the sev…[Read more]

He has flaws in his game that don’t transfer to the NFL as well as character issues.
