Utah needs to find a mega donor or it’s going to continue to be a feeder school for other programs including byu which would be an absolute disaster for the program if they can’t even compete in their own state and conference

In Utah’s system Clegg is two years away at least. He needs the mission rust gone and need to add bulk.

Guarantee he gets reps in Provo next season. He will never be all Big12 in Provo. They don’t develop players

There is some talk that every available resource(NIL)is being thrown at football to make the program and university more attractive to the BIG10 when there is another round of expansion. Basketball still gets some NIL but it peanuts compared to where it should be to compete on the current landscape. Utah has donors willing to give huge sums of money but it’s all going to football NIL.

Football drives the college athletic world. It makes all the money it gets all the attention and it’s what will get Utah in too the P2

Meanwhile Basketball has been tossed aside like an old shoe and unless Smith loses every games in conference play he’s not going anywhere.

I don’t understand smith and his rotations at all. I predict 8-3 non conference record and the Big12 is gonna be brutal. I don’t see more than 6 or 7 conference wins and no post season which will result in the end of the Craig Smith era at Utah.

This is just kind of a lost year. There is no future of Utah basketball in any reasonable scenario that has Smith in it.

I think deep down he knows he’s a dead man coaching and that explains his rotations and substitution patterns

The transfer portal is the wild Wild West right now. The ncaa is doing nothing to fix the process.

Schools can’t contact players during the season or before the portal opens but “agents” can at anytime.

The Colo st head coach said in a press conference his top 30 players have all been contacted by “agents” telling them they can get them deals at other schools for 20 to 30% of the total NIL deal.

It’s beyond out of control and the ncaa is you get what you ask for mode and just sitting back laughing

Davis is gonna be a great mentor to the younger receivers in the program. He’s a depth guy but a pseudo WR Coach

He’s coming as a PWO with an earn it clause.

He can earn a scholarship if he can keep his nose clean.

Was talking to some people the other about this and we compared it to the Major League Baseball System

Majors – BIG10, & SEC
AAA – Big12, & ACC
AA – PAC12, MWC, & AAC
A – Sun Belt, Conf USA, MAC
Rookie league – Everyone else

[AZUTE]

It’s a broken record but no matter who Utah brings in to coach next season the university needs to up its nil game for basketball.

Right now nil budget for Bball is about 3 mil. It’s needs to be closer to 5 to even remotely compete with other big12 teams for national recruits.
