Quick Basketball team analysis

Hendrix, Goch, Allen – These Three are going to be really good, just super young.

Tillman and Barefield are fine, they just haven’t been able to get into a groove due to referee home cookin’

Topalovic is good offensively, but a really crappy defender

Johnson is a guy to put in when everyone in front of him is in foul trouble. He should never see the floor otherwise.

Haven’t seen much from anyone else in the second half. The defense is pretty terrible right now, and the offense is at times as well, but that is youth and a lack of chemistry. This will improve over the games and years. THIS TEAM HAS TALENT!

When has Utah had the same guys on the court for two years? Every year is a reset-rebuild year. That was some of the worst basketball I have seen out of a Utah team against an equally young Minnesota team. Minnesota a lower end BIG team looking light years ahead of Utah. I guess this is Coach K’s program of constant turnover and a complete redo every year. Will see how the season progresses. A very GREEN-young team. A lot of work to do. I know this is thumbs down loving post. That was tough to watch.

I can’t help but wonder IF NCAA had punished teams for obvious cheating for years maybe Larry K has better chances with Wright and Poeltl. College Basketball is just impossible for me to enjoy much anymore.

Could not agree more, Trailgoat. Obviously, teams are going to lose some players every year to graduation and sometimes guys leave early for the NBA. But, Larry seems to lose half or more of the roster every single year. Way too many transfers. A program cannot build any kind of consistency with the annual turnover that has taken place during his tenure. 

Sooner than later Larry is going to have to demonstrate that all of this roster turnover is worth it by winning a conference title and making a deep tourney run . . . and I’m not talking about the NIT.

It appears we will bring in at least 5 new players next year so that will mean that in addition to our three seniors, two other players will need to leave the program.
