The funny thing is teams are probably over-complicating scouting us, specifically our defense. Our defense is comically easy to beat – we can’t stop dribble penetration at all. You don’t really need to run any complex sets to break us down; you just need to let your quick athletic guards drive by our slow/weak guards and it’s an easy direct path…[Read more]

Defense has earned the benefit of the doubt. My therapist says the offense from 2024 was actually just my imagination and any mention of it or something about TCU in 2010 should be ignored. I don’t care what the offense looks like, just as long as we don’t have to sit through another year of run for 2 against an 8 man box, run for 3 against a 7…[Read more]

With Larry K, for as much as the program was a dysfunctional dumpster fire by the time he got canned, you at least got better athletes.

I definitely don’t think NIL, or the lack thereof, is the biggest problem. I mean FFS, Utah State routinely puts better teams on the floor with less resources. Utah just has not gotten it right in the HC department since Majerus retired.

There has to be more to this problem than lack of NIL.

Utah has gone through 4 straight Coaches that have all been abject failures.

What is the common denominator?

There is no silver lining. What we’ve seen in the first three games of conference play is going to the same script that will be repeated game after game until the season’s over. The Utes are fatally flawed as a team and, once each game settle downs and the opponent adjusts, Utah really has no answer.

Oh, it’s not only that…Utah State has gone through multiple coaches, because they keep getting hired away, and starts with an all new roster, it seems like, every season. I have to give them full props for doing so much more with so much less than Utah.

You know…the MBB has all of the hallmarks of a mediocre team.

Game starts and they’re decent for a while. Then the other team adjusts to what Utah is doing and Utah either lacks the personnel or coaching know-how to be able to stay in the game. And thus, by the end of the game, what you have is another blowout loss.

I don’t think that…[Read more]

By rule, the Winter portion of the portal is closed to new entries. The exceptions to the rule are:

1) Kids who have reached graduate status can enter at any time
2) Kids whose season has not ended yet have 5 days after their team has played its last game
3) When a Head Coach takes a new job or is fired, kids have 15 days to enter their name…[Read more]

Unless I am wrong, but it appears the portal never closed because players are still transferring even though techically the portal closed end of last month.

I seem to remember that he got a season-ending injury in pre-season practice, which would be why he never played for the U in 2024. I imagine he didn’t like his chances of making it to the top of the heap with all the new faces in the room.

Jason brown coached at Independence a juco school in Kansas. He was featured in the Netflix series last chance u.

My angle was more had we moved on from Cam earlier with Ludwig at the OC helm, 2024 might have looked something like 2023. This would have kept Ludwig in place and wouldn’t have brought on this needed change this early. Call it 2024’s silver lining.

I think that you might be on to something there. At this point, I don’t know if he’s even already graduated but it might make sense to start out as a GA under his uncle’s tutelage.

The kid seems sincere.

Yeah, I’m not trying to suggest Whitt should have seen the future and canned Ludwig after 3 stellar years in a row. Had Rising and Kuithe left back then, Ludwig probably would have done much better these last two years, but they didn’t, Ludwig was terrible, and he needed to go.

The coaches did the best they could with the info they had, which was…[Read more]
