Thanks for the link. Have to admit I didn’t read all the details before. Scalley must be a very patient guy to agree on a possible wait time of several seasons.

Fun to get it right for once. I never pick against the Utes, so was running out of chances, till this last game.

Mongolian Mike had many open shots, 3 point and closer in, and missed most of them. Don’t quite understand after seeing his shooting motion and makes in previous games. Hope he gets it going.

The Utes need multiple outside scorers to loosen up the defense on G Madsen. Ausar is a real nice inside threat, but needs to get his percentage up on free throws.

The Utes seem to play pretty good Defense most of the time. Hopefully they can be competitive when Big12 time rolls around.

Thanks Tony. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. And, Go Utes!!

I like lovering for rim protection and rebounding. Hope he provides a little more inside scoring, so the team can be balanced and score from outside and inside 10 feet.

How does a guy like Keller that has probably played basketball since jr high, not have a better shooting motion? Does a player his size always dunk the ball and never cares about developing his shot. Otherwise, I hope he has some good inside moves and develops his shot with more games, and also provides defense and rebounding. He has a solid build to body up on opposing bigs.

If Little and G Madsen are a threat to score outside, OR drive to the basket, they can develop the drive and pass plays to Lovering and Keller for dunks. This worked great for the Jazz with Gobert not being a great scorer, but good at catching and dunking.

Watching some other Big12 games and knowing we have Kansas, Houston, Arizona, etc., to play this year, it is going to be rough at road games, with what I see so far from the Utes. Hope they develop up with Lovering and Keller back, and at least protect home court.

He is making about 1M per year for first three years. Hope he does well enough to get paid when he signs a new contract.

[BleedsRedUte]

Yes, I was looking forward to watching him show what he could do as a Receiver, and then he got injured.
Hope he gets another chance.

Say it isn’t so. I have had been disgusted with the way we have been losing and I don’t know if I can get used to the new recruiting and transfer situation where money is involved.

The days of recruiting and developing players has changed completely. If you have enough NIL backing you can transfer and recruit in the talent and have a contender right away. If a coach is not knowledgeable of the new situation they may get left in the dust with mediocre teams.

I am 82 now. Graduated from the U in “65. I had a run of attending home games for many years, but I don’t even come close to the fan support you have shown. I didn’t think that we would win the PAC12 in my lifetime, and along came Rising.

I now always put on something “Ute” or Red at least, sit down in front of the Flat screen and watch the games.

Keep supporting Utah football.

Everyone has good points. Yes, I think Fano was in for Fillinger, so there is that difference. But I thought we were getting good play from T Johnson, and Ritchie. Although I didn’t see Ritchie in on plays last night.

It seems like the players have adequate physical capability on defense, but sometimes make some dumb mental errors, that veterans shouldn’t. The Safeties really missed on the halfback (or whatever) pass for a first down, when we had them stopped. The pass was thrown from the same side as the receiver who had leaked out, and whether the guy was going to run or pass, the Safeties should have been to that side by then. There was no one within 5 yards of the receiver.

So close to a great win.

The prelim fight is something else! Thanks for reminding me, completely forgot about the fight.
