Makes sense to recruit and offer great local LDS athletes, even if they indicate they want to serve a mission (usually after playing one year).

Of course in the NIL $$$$$ era, far fewer players are playing their entire career with one school.

Can’t remember the last time I made use of the ignore feature on this board but felt that was the sensible thing to do in this situation.

My interactions with visiting fans from our new conference foes including Baylor, TCU, Iowa State, Texas Tech, and others have been nothing but pleasant. Visiting fans who visit the Hunty and Rice-Eccles will realize the horror stories they have heard from Zoobs are not accurate at all.

ALL CAPS !?!?!? Posting from a VIC20 are we?

Said a few times, going from MWC to PAC was a massive upgrade. From PAC to Big12 was a drop off in football, but arguably a small upgrade in hoops.

Biggest issue I have is teams are so spread out and the championship venues are on longer a 6 hours drive down I-15 to Sin City. Of course potentially going to Big10 just puts us with many teams…[Read more]

Social media brings out the very worst qualities in many people.

I lived through a 2-19 stretch and survived (and it was not a dream).

I too feel the worst part of NIL is a school can develop a promising young player, investing coaching and other resources into his improvement, then have a big name team with lots of NIL cash grab him away.

Will always remember Hunter’s OT trey against his former team to help us beat BYU and will remember his work ethnic. Had some rough games, but always played with maximum effort. Wish him well.

Given he’ll very likely be starting and getting consistent minutes, will be a major contributor and an exciting part of next year’s team.

100s or 1000s of energetic local fans creates a great atmosphere (as seen locally in Provo and Logan).

One single fan trying to make a difference stands out and can appear to some (not all) to be foolish but give the man credit for his effort.

If just a modest 1% of our student body were to show up and act like him every home game……

Really hope Alex (with help of NIL $$$$) can encourage Dawes to stay. Unfortunate that for some reason former Coach Smith didn’t give him the consistent minutes he deserved.

Might be Andre and team are still in dicussion. May also be Andre wants to complete his season before announcing anything so as not to distract his team.

While his free throw shooting is certainly not stellar, he’s a good defender. But surprised if he can get another year.

Maybe 1000 there. 6PM tough time to get there on a work night for some. (Fortunately I have very easy going managers who will let me shift my hours and hour or two for events and appointments).

Aggies keep on losing coaches and keep on getting into the Dance. Had a much needed late win on UNLV’s home floor last night which should firmly keep them off of the bubble and I very much expect to see them in the tourney.

Would like to see Utah Valley finally make it in.

Glad we earned the win in January that is looking to be the most impressive (including Kansas) this season and that we had the home game first in the series. We likely don’t win that one in Provo and not sure we could have beaten them in Salt Lake last week. Have to credit Cougars for playing their best ball of the year right now. They possibly…[Read more]

In pre-season when we set the team record for made treys a few times and our percentage of field goal attempts from outside the arc was higher than in many NBA games, I noted that on days the outside shots aren’t falling, we would struggle. Last night was a definite example of that.

Wahlin showed great improvement as the season progressed. Could be a valuable asset to keep around.

Dawes’ rebounding numbers are huge. Led team in total rebounds with fewer minutes than the regular starters. Far and away the highest rebounds/minutes on the squad.
