Yeah…maybe. Someone knows but I’m not one of those someone’s. K3 is old school and wants the program to perform in a specific way. He has high expectations of each player, skill development and how they integrate into the “team”. He said it himself very late in the season that is does not always get the behavior and attitude of some younger players.
The trend is troubling. Last few years, I thought K3 was a bit too public about his criticism of players. He needs to do what he thinks is best, not what I’m comfortable with.
It has not escaped anyone here that Utah is not getting the highly targeted players, in state or out. It appears this year in particular that the team was made from parts, and performed rather well, mostly. I know some viewers here did not like my earlier view but it seemed to me that the team had chemistry issues.
In a very strange way, this situation has the feeling of RM’s final year or so. He was so frustrated with recruits that it got really ugly. K3 is not like RM, but the recruiting for the last three or so years seems a bit strained. I trust this is temporary, but as I began, what do I know.
