Yeah, that’s huge downside of the NIL era. It’s very rare to get to watch a player grow and develop at your school, which for me was one of the most rewarding things about college sports.

And while it sucks that Utah starts developing players just for someone with deeper pockets to swoop in and carry them off, let’s recognize that it cuts both…[Read more]

My worry is whether ‘developmental approach’ is even possible anymore. You bring in a player like Kyndal, and develop him for a year or two, and he is coming along. Then some other program just throws a bunch of NIL money at him, and just like that you are starting all over.

That’s kind of what it felt like with Larry, granted it was pre-NIL…[Read more]

Luka Doncic has just entered the chat.

Yes. Over the past decade, it’s just seemed like men’s BB was a total afterthought and not a priority anymore because the school was so caught up with football.

I’ve been waiting for them to get serious again and I’m happy that time has returned.

I’m definitely on the excited side of the fence because we have picked up some good talent with our first few targets.

More good will come, and I trust Jensen to put together the team with the players he thinks will be successful.

Great pickup!

I was hoping we’d get Moore. Now I want Odih!

I really like the fact that so far, all seven players on the roster are… Not White.

I know that sounds odd but black athletes just have athleticism and explosiveness that many Caucasian players do not. Our team in recent years has been mostly white and it often showed when we played…[Read more]

While I agree we need more shooting, Elijah’s a shooter. Watch his highlights. I realize they are highlights but watch his mechanics – footwork and release. He’s very skilled as a shooter.

I’m with you. Far from bummed but also not “Holy cow! Wow!” yet. But the additions so far seem like a very positive step in the right direction. For the first time in nearly a decade I’m hopeful for the future of mbb. And just that alone is a nice feeling and a nice change. It’s been pretty grim for a while.

With so many slots to fill, I’m excited to see where this ends up.

Great article! Kinda of what I anticipated AJ and his staff’s approach to the overall vision of the program. With all things considered, I believe he is being deliberate and working with what Utah has given him and what he has at his disposal. I’m sure most of you understand and maybe agree, he’s going about it with patience and a methodical…[Read more]

He killed us when we played UCF in Orlando and in the Big XII tournament.

Was this guy one of them??? I think we could use him!

Love this pickup! There’s definitely a certain identity being created if you look at the 7 guys we’ve gotten so far.

great pickup. Now we are in desperate need of shooting.

It will be his first game with new teammates, new coaches, and a new scheme. I suspect he will not be at his best when the Bruins play Utah. But, he is a talented QB.

Thought he was heading to UNC

Maybe. Dante Moore was a freshman; Nico has played a lot more college ball by now.
