Runnin' Utes getting some respect…

I don’t follow any pro sports. I follow two sports only: Utah Football and Utah Basketball. I’ve gone to nearly every home game since the 70’s in both sports.

Thrilled we are “back” in basketball. Hoping we have enough depth and worried about the center position WHEN Poetl is in foul trouble.

Worried about Poeltl’s backup.

Another big year this year would be so important. We are so close to landing some big time recruits. Another deep tourney run and we might start to get on a roll recruiting wise, that could cement us in the upper P12 echelon.

I entered all the games into my calendar today. There’s even one on my birthday – stoked!!!!
