Totally agree.

I don’t want Utah playing this “spend obscene amounts of money to bag a blue chipper” game that BYU is suddenly embracing in basketball.

It’s a bad look, it promotes bad messages, and it’s a shady world to live in. No way I want Utah to become that kind of a place.

BYU is gonna do it and watch and see it won’t get them much…[Read more]

Concerns about his attitude? Possibly.

Worth the risk? Definitely.

I’ll trust AJ and the staff to mold him into a team player better than Pearl & Co. did.

Well said, sir.

Agree 100%!

Total surprise. I didn’t even know Utah was targeting Howard. Great pick up!

Yes I’d agree that AJ and Co. are doing well so far.

I want Odih next.

I’m happy for him. He was one of the few players last season who made it evident that he worked hard to improve his FT shooting.

He wasn’t gonna come back after Dawes, Okonkwo and Traore committed. Hope to see him kill it at USC.

I’m not upset at Ezra. He worked hard for Utah and seemed to be open to returning before the staff made Dawes the top…[Read more]

Big upgrade in basketball.

The Pac was dogshit in hoops most years.

Yes. Over the past decade, it’s just seemed like men’s BB was a total afterthought and not a priority anymore because the school was so caught up with football.

I’ve been waiting for them to get serious again and I’m happy that time has returned.

I’m definitely on the excited side of the fence because we have picked up some good talent with our first few targets.

More good will come, and I trust Jensen to put together the team with the players he thinks will be successful.

Great pickup!

I was hoping we’d get Moore. Now I want Odih!

I really like the fact that so far, all seven players on the roster are… Not White.

I know that sounds odd but black athletes just have athleticism and explosiveness that many Caucasian players do not. Our team in recent years has been mostly white and it often showed when we played…[Read more]

I definitely think it’s more than possible to make the tourney in year one. Now more than ever.

Terrence Brown is going to be a star for us. That dude has explosive athleticism and can score in buckets. We have needed a PG like him for a long time and now we have one! I’m excited about him. He was one of the top scorers in the portal.

Okonkwo is…[Read more]

I would have liked Jake to return, but I can understand him leaving if he’s getting that much money. I certainly wouldn’t want Utah to pay him that much.

I think ultimately he will get fewer minutes at Clemson than he would have at Utah.

Great update, thanks for that.

I appreciate the info on basketball, because that is where most of my Utah fandom is. I love FB too, but hoops will always be #1 for me.

Glad to hear things are looking up for Jensen and Co. I’m extremely confident he will be a great coach for us and we will soon be trending up.

Agree 100%.

This is basically what I mean when I say I don’t want Utah to be one of these teams that tries to spend their way to relevance. If BYU wants to do that, be my guest. It’s not a good look for any program, much less one that exists (on paper at least) to support a church’s mission.

Well said.

Okonkwo’s stats may not blow anyone away, but the guy is a rebound beast. Last year he had a number of games when he grabbed more than 10 boards. A couple games he grabbed 15 or 16.

That is sorely needed in today’s game. He won’t be a major scoring option, but he will clean up the glass like a champ.

Nuff said!

I would too. He looks great. Same with Mason.

Yep this aligns perfectly with what I’ve heard.

Miller’s agent, although I don’t even know who he is.

Which is a bit baffling. If Andre wants to be a part of Utah basketball- which he was reported to want as recently as last year when Smith was still coach – I find it strange that he’s letting his agent screw that up for him.

Agents rarely…[Read more]

Yes it means someone close to Andre being stubborn with the financial terms.

My pleasure, friend. We are all family here!

I couldn’t care less what BYU is doing. I only care about what Utah is doing.

It really is that simple for me, and I encourage the rest of you folks to adopt that mindset.

It’s OK to talk BYU if it’s before or after we play them, but beyond that I just don’t see the point.

Let them do whatever they want, so what? They wanna try and act like…[Read more]

The latest intel I’ve heard is that Andre probably won’t be on the staff this year. But if true, he could still join sometime else in the future.
