I was invited by a high donor to the pre event for the crimson club before the official fan fest. It was nice hearing the coaches in a quieter setting. Women’s basketball spoke and talked about two High level state of Utah commitments they have and will be announcing soon, gymnastics talked about how appreciative they are of the NIL help because it is making a huge difference for them recruiting, football was all pretty much on par with what we have been hearing. The coolest was basketball. They introduced the entire team, gave Dawes a special thanks for coming back this year and Alex Jensen really emphasized getting back to “runnin Utes Basketball”
After that, we went onto the field for about 15 minutes before they let GA in. Honestly it was subpar. All the athletes mingled in their respective teams. A few football players played soccer with some kids and the basketball team started a game of lightning which was pretty cool. Within 20 minutes of opening it was shoulder to shoulder on the field. VERY packed. The band played for about 20 minutes as well.
