Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all! Here’s to a surprisingly good coming year in U athletics!!
Go Utes!

Too bad. I didn’t know he was 1 and done.

I gave hims four stars! I just read his bio on wiki and this is all I am going on. I am a positive thinker, and expect he will bring some exciting new blood to the Offense.

Beck is pretty much a proven commodity. He has been successful in coaching QBs, and most recently in directing the offense at a college level school.

What remains to get him to 5 stars for the Utes is to show he recognizes and recruits Offensive talent in other O coaches, and in players especially at QB and the other skill positions, also that he has an Offensive scheme/plan that is successful in the Big12, and he is a dynamic play caller.

A lot to hope for.

Now, I hope the question of who is HC going forward is announced soon so we can recruit and get ready for next season.

I think Pepa was developing into one of our main run stoppers. His size and agility will be hard to replace.

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.
