If you don’t like recency, here are 3 terrible games for Ezra that aren’t recent.

Iowa St: 24 min, 2-7 for 4ps, 28%fg, 4 rb, 0-2 ft, and 2 turnovers
Houston: 21 min, 1 pt, 2 to, 0-4 for 0%fg, 3 rb
Baylor#1: 20 min, 1-8 12.5% 3pts, 6 rb

I challenge you to come up with even 2 games that bad that Keanu had when he played more than 17 min.

As far as off games go, I really miss Worster who we lost in the portal. Was always reliable to have a handful of assists, handful of rebounds, and a few baskets, and made few turnovers. Seldom had a game he didn’t make a good contribution.

Agree to disagree. While everyone, EVERYONE, has off games, Kenau despite limited minutes coming off the bench, he has been far more consistent than Ezra. His season stats show that.

Keanu Stats

Ezra

Look at these, and sort them by minutes played, look at the games where they played +20 min, then be honest with yourself. Keanu is a no brainer.

It’s a copy paste. It’s one of the stats it gives, not one I cited. Make sense?

It’s not recency bias, its season stats. You cherry pick two games, I look at the body of work.

ESPN also said this:

In the most parity-friendly major conference in college football, you rarely get the breaks you need in consecutive seasons. So Arizona State (6-2 in one-score games), Iowa State (5-1) and Texas Tech (6-1, and another from the “also considered” list) are out. In their place roll Utah (1-5) and Kansas (1-5). Kyle Whittingham’s…

Right you are there Jim. Neither BYU nor ASU will be able to sneak up on anybody next season. Both teams will have bulleyes on them and I’m sure many an opponent has the dates they play them circled on their calendar. Last season, if any QB not called Rising plays down in Tempe, Utah probably wins that game. Hell, they almost won it with…[Read more]

Personally I wouldn’t dismiss the possibility that a player like him might have been much better under a coach like RM. So I don’t think it’s an absolute truth that he wouldn’t see the court. And I agree that he is much improved from last year. But unfortunately the fact that he is playing a pivotal role in certain victories is an indictment of…[Read more]

Awesome.

Let’s see how ASU and the TDS fare this year with the target on their backs. I’d much rather be the underdog and fly under the radar. All the hype last year coupled with our first year in the BIG 12 made us look like pre madonnas. The hate for BYU and ASU will quickly escalate through the conference. I’m sure those games have been circled on the c…[Read more]

I mean, it’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility, but if I had to choose Utah or the field, I’m choosing the field. ASU, Colorado, BYU, Baylor, KSU, and Texas Tech should all be in the top half of the big 12, and we play all of them. Assuming we beat all the other 6 teams we play, and split the 6 teams above, that puts us at 9-3 and 6-3…[Read more]

Cool.

Rivals still has him as a low-rated 3-star DE though.

I was one of the biggest Erickson haters but for a couple of games when Madsen played like Erickson he play like Madsen. And that resulted in wins. Also Majerus made dudes with less talent than Erickson look like Madsen but not the new Erickson Madsen 😂 😢

Its fixed now

This is not to disrespect Erickson, but in a Majerus-level Utah team, he’s a guy who would only see the floor during garbage time. That’s how far we’ve fallen…that a guy who’s essentially a fringe P4 MBB player gets major minutes and sometimes plays a decisive role in wins and losses.

Taking care of the basketball and free throws have been constant theme with Smith’s teams. Does he purposefully recruit players that cannot handle the ball or shoot free throws or is he developing these skill sets?

The tough thing w/ both of these players is that they lack consistency. One night, a force to be reckoned with. Another night, super pedestrian. Until one of them shows more consistency, I think you play whoever shows up to the game in attack mode.

I like both players and think they both deserve good minutes. Ausar won us the BYU game, almost…[Read more]

I think you are underselling jake. His season numbers are waaaay better than Hunter.
Not to be a broken record but it should be: Mike, Gabe, Jake, Keanu, Lawson.
Ezra off the bench and Keller has no biz on the floor unless foul trouble requires. Guards off bench is toss up but Miro should be down the list similar to Keller n

By the numbers Mason should be taking these minutes. But that would be awkward for Craig because you know, you’re messing with family.

I said this after the TDS game as well. We wouldn’t have won that game w/out him either. He’s gotten a lot better versus last year.
