Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic As a BYU fan, I HATE the Alex Jensen hire in the forum Basketball (Men) 4 months, 2 weeks ago
I might be wrong but Young is going after the one and done. Playing an NBA style offense and defense to prepare a couple of superstars for the NBA. Calipari did it with success at Kentucky.
I think Jensen will use a Majerus type approach with local talent and players that fit the system and play vital roles. Hopefully we can attract some NBA…[Read more]

I watched from home. The pass that sailed through the hands of Mason Madsen as he was looking at the coach instead of the game pretty much summed it up. The victory was there for the taking, and we couldn’t quite close the deal. WVU got the upper hand at the end, and didn’t let it go.

We didn’t offer him the job 4 years ago. After Young arrived, we did.

Then Jensen isn’t taking the job. Cause that’s just setting him up to fail.

I wonder if C. Smith would have been Fired if the Y had not hired Kevin Young. You get an NBA guy and a big bump in NIL, we get an NBA guy withe hopefully some bump in NIL. Seems like a direct response to me.

Thanks McMahon. I think Jensen will create some major changes. In state recruiting, player development and team play. It might take a couple years to get his system in place but it will be fun to watch. Bring in Miller as an assistant to work with the guards (actually recruit a guard). I’m excited to say the least.

Because I think it’s the best possible hire you guys could have made, and because I think he’s finally going to restore your men’s basketball program to what it has the potential to be. I really think he will have the curtains permanently banned within two years, because I think he will reinvigorate the fanbase and donors, and the Hunstman Center…[Read more]

Almost makes me consider thinking about going, but instead I’ll probably just be on a stair-stepper.

The ultimate tell of a troll! Upvoting themselves because they know others won’t.

That’s exactly right.
Yes, Utah will need to offer more green to attract talent, and they will. But, as I said in another post, I’m not sure I even want to see Utah throwing a shit load of money at one single blue chip player, like BYU and so many others have. Because it’s my opinion that you’ll almost never get an adequate ROI for that…[Read more]

Better to spend $5-10 on a single prima donna, or $1 each for a handful of very talented players who can gel together?

AJ Dybantsa and Cooper Flagg are the only two NCAA basketball players I’ve seen with an NIL valuation exceeding $2 million. I might be mistaken, I’m trying to understand NIL, as it seems to be one of the key metrics for any college program. I also saw that Cameron Boozer, the son of Carlos Boozer, signed a $1.5 million NIL deal, and he is con…[Read more]

Frankly, I couldn’t care less what BYU is doing or how much money they are spending on their program.
What I care about is Utah getting the right guys in place, accumulating new economic support for the program and trusting the experts up there decide how to best compete. They don’t need our advice on how to do that.
I get where you’re coming…[Read more]

It’s been a not-so-secret fact that if Jensen is hired to be head coach the whales will open their piggy banks.

Let’s focus on the positive of today. Tripling is an amazing start. Getting someone of Alex intelligence and experience is massive. And Andre soon. Those alone will pay massive dividends. In wins and NIL. I don’t care about TDS. Today is a great day to be a Ute and the future is bright.

Not only that, but how is Utah headed for 10-14 seasons? The XII plays 20-gane league schedules, not 24-game schedules. It wouldn’t be overall, either. Every season we play at least 30 games.
I think the cognitive abilities of Cali Man is unquestionably in decline.

But he’s right! What the Runnin Utes need to play big time basketball isn’t Alex Jensen or a good coach, it’s a really elite and experienced HD TV – uh, maybe to put in the JMHC, or the coach’s office? Or maybe the locker room so our guys can video game before and after the games?
We’re so lucky Cali Man showed up to point this out! Where would…[Read more]

OKC Thunder tried tanking a few years back, how is that working out? Also, Philly went to the conference finals and lost on a crazy Kawhi game winner. Had they went to the finals they most likely would have won for the same reasons that Raptors won.

This would mean $6 million instead of $2 million.
Sadly, this does not even match what BYU is paying one player next season.
