I also think the Utes really lack good merch. I frequently look for new ute gear to purchase and more often than not, I end up leaving empty handed. I know this has been discussed several times on here, so i’m not the only one who feels this way.

“Show me the money” will rule college FB and BB until the courts or congress (haha) intervene and put some guidelines on this madness. As previously mentioned above coaches are in a no win situation. Culture and player development only sets you up for failure. It only works if you have the money to keep your developed players.

It won’t be long…[Read more]

I go back to something I said a few weeks ago which is that throwing all of your resources at the portal is both the answer and the problem. History has proven, for me at least, that I get more out of my experience as a fan when I know who I am watching. The human element of the game is a massive part of my fandom. Like the old Seinfeld bit, I’m n…[Read more]

The last time I posted on UteHub I speculated that, in the age of NIL with a team like the Utes that has finite resources, it might make more sense to dedicate funds to the portal rather than recruiting. The Big12/ACC teams that are the most creative with NIL in the football landscape will be the most successful. With the Utes positioned above…[Read more]

It might not be fine…as an analogy, Utah might be a silent film star at the start of the sound era, and we all know what happened then. Unless strict, formal guidelines are placed on college football and basketball, the only thing that’s going to matter is how much money you can throw at those programs to keep them competitive. It really is an…[Read more]

That could be the answer. Maybe the order of merit changes based on what’s going on in the college sports world.

It’s hard to paint college football coaches in a sympathetic light given how well compensated they are these days, but I absolutely feel for them when it comes to recruiting. It was a tough gig before NIL, transfer portals, conference realignment, growing player entitlement, etc. It has got to be near impossible though now for these coaches to k…[Read more]

Andrew Miller glimpses🤗

I’m taking a wait and see approach. Miro Little was supposed to be much more of a finished product, and we saw how that relationship turned out. This guy is younger and much less experienced than Little. If he can play 8-10 productive minutes a game in his first season, I’d call that a win. Another thing about videos like this…keep in mind…[Read more]

Looks solid off the bounce. Gives effort on D. If he can shoot the three, we may have something here…

Very exciting! Kid knows how to get to the rim and seems to have a high motor to go with some nice skills.

He’s thick like Colllier and a “bulldog” on defense and when driving to the hoop.

He looks quick. Seems to play really hard on defense which I like. Some of those steals in the highlights were really nice.

This roster is looking good! By far the most athletic team the Utes have had in years. AJ is tuned in and knows exactly how he wants the team to look. First time in years I’m excited for BB season. This team has a Houston feel to it. AJ will develop these athletes into team and role players.

I hoped when Jensen was hired that we could tap into the Hanno Mattola pipeline. They played together from 97-99. I am not sure that this came through his connection with Hanno, but I think we will see a number of Finnish players at Utah during the Jensen era. (Mattola is a coach on the Finnish national team.)

I used to park on Sunnyside Ave in the park. It was nice to walk to the game, get to sightsee through the tailgate lot. Somewhere a few years ago, I started to ride Trax when parking was full 4+ hours before the game. I now park in the Trax lot on 2100 S. They have the Police building there, and have never had any problem with vandalism or…[Read more]
