  • I was good friends with Shaun Greens dad and he told me Majerus quit recruiting his last year because he knew he was done. I’m not blaming Majerus at all. He left Giac with great talent but not much incoming behind them.

    I was a student during Giac’s last year and Boylen’s tenure sitting in the front row of the Muss. Giac was gifted a sweet 16 team and then he sank that ship and he sank it fast… We had to watch freaking Luke Nevill, Luka Drca, Shaun Green and friends flail around the court.

    Highlights of that time were Marshall Henderson and Boylen telling…[Read more]

  • Narfute I stand corrected. You are right. The incoming recruits of 2004 was Majerus last recruiting year. After Bogut left the cupboard was bare. Sorry for the confusion.

    Is UteButters the new OnlyU? I haven’t heard much from OnlyU lately, although it has been the off-season, but still. You still around OnlyU?

  • NarfUte replied to the topic State of the BB program in the forum Basketball (Men) 4 months ago

    Run DMC – Drisdom, Markson, Chaney. All Majerus recruits who were Jr’s in Bogut’s sophomore year.

  • NarfUte replied to the topic State of the BB program in the forum Basketball (Men) 4 months ago

    Bogues was a freshman during Majerus’ last year (the one where Kerry Rupp coached the last 10 or so games) Giaco had to re-recruit bogut to come back.

    I’m cautiously optimistic. With an emphasis on “cautiously”.

    If Utah can be reasonably healthy, they’ll be in contention for the conference championship.

    That said, we’ve been absolutely snake bitten at QB injuries. So what do we do? Get a running QB. Which concerns me. He’ll be effective running the ball until he’s injured – at least it is hard…[Read more]

  • Bogut was not a Majerus recruit.

  • NarfUte replied to the topic State of the BB program in the forum Basketball (Men) 4 months ago

    Giacoletti took that “bare cupboard” (that had the #1 pick in it..) to the sweet 16 and a 29-6 season. Don’t blame Majerus for the current state of the bball program.

  • Majerus sabotaged the program when he left. He knew he was leaving and quit recruiting. The cupboard was bare for the incoming coach. Biggest mistake the athletic director ever made in my opinion was not hiring Judkins to take over. Two bad coaching hires and the hole was dug.

    Coach K brought the program back to respectability but the hole was…[Read more]

  • Yup, we’ve been the die-hards, tuning in through thick and thin. It’s been way too much thin over the last decade, so I’m really hopeful that Alex can get the job done. It’s been a long sad run. I haven’t given up yet, and maybe I never will be because I need something to occupy my time in the long dark cold evenings of the north woods. That…[Read more]

    Guillory is the highest rated recruit of the 2 FR, had multiple blue chip offers.

    I put zero stock in the MW transfers. Why do we think backups from NM and UNLV will be more than backups on a P4 team?

  • Wow, you are the last person I would have expected to hear that from! But, if Alex Jensen is anything like Majerus, good times should be returning sooner than later. GO UTES!

  • It is still a commuter school and the parking combined with the road access is bad. Utah in general is brain dead in just building more and more housing with no infrastructure to support it.
    Then they wonder why inversion gets so bad. They have expanded the housing on the Wasatch front with no infrastructure to support the amount of people. So…[Read more]

    Fair feelings … until proven on the field it’s just hype.

    That said this running back room is going to surprise some people. It’s not a finished room either. Guillory will be here in the summer and I expect the staff to add another back after spring.

    Right now they’re performing really well though.

  • Yergensen replied to the topic FOOTBALL in the forum Football 4 months, 1 week ago

    Unless Guillory rises up, this is one man RB room. Kinda like last year.

  • UteButters replied to the topic FOOTBALL in the forum Football 4 months, 1 week ago

    Yes the whole room is new.

    The team has been having voluntary practices for a while now. These voluntary practices are mainly focused on install.

  • AlohaUte replied to the topic FOOTBALL in the forum Football 4 months, 1 week ago

    Where are you getting your intel on the RBs? Isn’t the whole room new? What kind of practices are they holding at this point?

  • Utah#1 replied to the topic FOOTBALL in the forum Football 4 months, 1 week ago

    Not your fault! IMO, Whitt and the media led many on thinking the team was going to be better than the previous years. That may have been true, but one exception, Whitt can be the one to blame for the nose dive in the program. I think it is safe to say he is not very good at judging QB talent and ability, and significantly miscalculated and/or…[Read more]

  • It won’t be off campus. The whole point of these updates is to make the U a community, not a commuter school. More residential spots, entertainment and shopping, restaurants and of course athletics. They want to get to over 40,000 undergrads (see board of trustees meetings). Trust me, they already have the spots narrowed down. On campus.
