Negative national sentiments will come if they win. No one will care if they lose.

I have also heard that at least one person in Miller’s orbit is being difficult.

I’ll be honest, I’m not even sure what this means. Like, an agent being stubborn? A family member not wanting Andre to make that change?

Can any more light than this be shed?

If today’s recruiting environment had been in place back then there’s a good chance Utah doesn’t sign Van Horn.

Majerus was the master of finding the diamonds in the rough.

I agree!

Yeah, I hadn’t read the comments. After reading your post – I decided to read them. So many Cougars are full of hate. Posting comments like these shows who they really are. The good Cougar fans typically do not post comments. I stopped reading comments when I read comments that a wife deserved to be shot and killed by her ex-husband in a…[Read more]

I did too, but I do not want to see that happen again.

that’s great to hear. The intent of my post was not to poo-poo him or our current efforts. I just mentioned that what I have read (mostly here) is that recruiting isn’t going so well at the moment. Obviously there is lots of time still, and I hope we can take advantage of the momentum we got from Jensen’s hire and the additional $ for…[Read more]

I agree with you on being grateful to departing players. I will always be appreciative of players who put on the Utah jersey and do their best. That includes The Shark.

I agree a bit less with your assessment of our recruiting outlook.

Terrence Brown Jr was a fantastic prospect in the portal who shows every indication that he will be very good…[Read more]

Three other targets I really like right now are:

Kaylon Mason
Naas Cunningham
Will McClendon

Plus I’m sure there are a number of players we don’t know about.

We were able to snag Terrence Brown Jr pretty damn fast, so that indicates at least some talent in selling the opportunities Utah can offer.

“Give them credit for turning things around.” I don’t agree with that statement only because you can turn things around without money. It will be very difficult now days with NIL, but it is possible. BYU just chose the easy way out and the only way they can get good players to go to BYU, is to buy them. Even if it means tampering with other…[Read more]

I wouldn’t get too concerned yet about incoming transfers. We have one but there are still a lot of targets Utah is engaging with, and some of those will be coming.

I never like to use them as any frame of reference, but we will all remember that Kevin Young wasn’t hired last year until April 16 and he also didn’t go to Provo until after the Suns…[Read more]

I think that kind of attitude is bullshit tbh. Why treat the players like that? Mike has valuable skills that could have helped us win games this year. It is pretty clear at this point that we sucked because of the coach and the complete lack of program support from fans and boosters.

I agree with the rest of your post, but I don’t fault these…[Read more]

I lived through a 2-19 stretch and survived (and it was not a dream).

Proud Ute for almost 20 years (other than the 2020 covid year when they thought they were relevant). I had no idea BYU existed. It was so nice not hearing all the hateful banter and we’re morally better than you attitude. Now like the poltergeist movie “ their back”. The blue goggles have come out of the closet.

Now they have money to buy playe…[Read more]

I have to believe that a dream like that is just the Good Lord giving you warning that he’s about to call you home.

To clarify, I’ll say that most of the folks there are pretty solid good people, and I’ve received a lot of support from them as well. There’s just a relatively small portion that absolutely, unequivocally suck – but that’s something we should unfortunately well understand with the small portion of our fanbase that enjoys being toxic on…[Read more]
