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]

When rotations are as inconsistent as they were under Smith, it is really hard to develop confidence in your abilities. If you know you are going to get certain minutes whether you make shots or not, you feel more comfortable shooting.

LDFC!

2008-2009 was a fun year with Luka Drca, Luke Neville, Tyler Kepkay, Shawn Green, Carlon Brown, Kim Tillie, and Lawrence Borha.

They finished 24-10, with a MWC regular season tie for first and a conference tourney championship – and a 5 seed in the NCAAs (where they lost to a 12 seed Arizona). I never could decide whether that team…[Read more]

What about Ben Melmoth?

Did you get to see Byrd Ficklin

You are always welcome here. I have always enjoyed your posts because they are honest and based on facts. Sometimes, this may make BYU look better than Utah, but that’s okay.

Previously, I would go to CB fairly often. Now, I do not go there. Some on that board are so full of hate that it just makes you feel dirty. I have said it before, and…[Read more]

I’m with you chin. I hope he comes back. He could contribute next season as a secondary ball handler from the 2 or 3. Needs to get stronger to get to the basket. Has a nice shot 3 and midrange.

He is a great passer, probably the best we’ve had since Delon (at least). The problem is, he isn’t very good at anything else. His ball handling is just barely good enough, his athleticism is just barely good enough, and his shooting is inconsistent (strange, because he has no issues with his form, and he has soft touch).

In the handful of games…[Read more]

Do the 3 and a half. Andre could be part time during the season, working with guards.

– Is getting Wahlin back a priority for the new staff? Does Wahlin want to be back?

Wahlin and Dawes are priority 1 and 1A. Alex feels he can build around these two. I do believe he does want back he’s just doing his due diligence and getting his market value. I know Alex and Jake talk a lot

– Any updates on some of the targets that have been…[Read more]

Honestly not mad about it. Unless he was fine coming off the bench with some very limited minutes. Really as this point the only ones that are in the portal that I really want back is Wahlin and Ausar.

I heard the same re Andre. Daniels’ son may be annnonced shortly.

I heard rumors that Andre Miller will likely not be part of the staff. He doesn’t want full-time hours. I’m hearing rumors about Donny Daniels’s son, who is an assistant at Utah State.

I would expect that for the most part the current players will test the portal to gain info to evaluate against the now unknown opportunity at Utah. I expect that some will likely choose to remain. But with the coaching turnover, it is like beginning the recruitment process except that other options will have a head start before the Utah coaching…[Read more]

Those are the same questions I’ve had. The G-League concluded March 29 so was hoping some good news that Andre might follow. One bit of news that dropped today is that Sharajvamts has entered the portal.

What’s going on is this…tailwinds from 2024 season and Big 12 inclusion. BYU has some momentum right now. Couple this with our poor season and you can see how top in state recruits have shifted their gaze a bit.

However, I believe this is all secondary to BYU’s NIL strategy. BYU’s recruiting pool for football is small. It’s largely limited t…[Read more]

To add to this, those around him knew all BYU had to do is come close on the NIL. They basically had to give him a reason to not go there. They didn’t. Done deal.
