This app is great. You’ve done a great job. I appreciate being able to interact with so many fellow Ute fans. Keep up the great work!

Twenty bucks said Zach called Roderick and told him he’d personally fund Isaac’s NIL money.

I went to the game and had a blast. I agree we are understaffed but come on, we pulled within two! Great effort to fight back. Little is a sophomore guard and had a double double not too far from a triple double. Lohner showed some pretty serious promise. I spoke with Lohner’s parents after and they said he was not yet in basketball shape but still had 8 points and 4 boards in only 20 minutes. I was disappointed in Gabe Reid’s second half. He’s our best player and we need more out of him. Lovering’s 7 and 8 just didn’t cut it either. Great environment though and fun to be there!

Caleb is suited up and just checked in. Playing time. 🙂

I think you are in the minority. Just finished watching AZ State’s FRESHMAN quarterback. In this day and age, we really don’t have the luxury of hoping any given quarterback develops. I for one believe Wilson already had an opportunity to prove himself and unfortunately for him he failed.

I think in this new transfer portal environment we’re living in, it’s easy to feel like the sky is falling. But the reality is, every team is going through the same thing. When we find out players are leaving we assume something is wrong that we don’t know about and that is why players are entering the portal. Do yourself a favor and go visit a few other team’s message boards and you’ll find that it’s not just Utah. It’s every single other division one team’s situation as well. The only direction this team can go after this disastrous year is up. Utah will win anywhere from 7-10 games next year. The portal giveth and the portal taketh. Just wait till spring ball – you’ll see. There will definitely be room for optimism. That’s the culture of Utah football – success.

I was sort of hoping he would transfer. Both Bottari and Rose played better than Isaac did. With how many games he played, it never seemed to develop. I think he’s like his brother Zach – good against crappy competition, not so good against better defenses. Not upset about this at all.

Love it. I can see where you’re coming from. I’ve met the guy and spent a little time with him. I really like him. I always wonder if it’s the chicken or egg thing. I think Craig needs talent and in this NIL world I personally believe other programs are out spending the Utah BBALL program by more than we may want to know. Certainly the team down south is. Always hard to tell if good coaching is more important than having talented players. I for one think for whatever reason our boosters don’t like Craig and are withholding NIL money because of it. Otherwise maybe Keita and Smith are playing for us this year because we were willing to pay them. But I totally see where you’re coming from. Craig hasn’t really hit his stride yet and if he gets the blame I just don’t know if that’s because he’s not a good coach or because he lacks the talent to do what he is capable of doing. Man this NIL era is crazy. We need NIL dollars bad.

[MG_Ute]

Yeah Rick – I’m sure we’re not doing that. 🙄

[MG_Ute]

Yeah free throw shooting has been tough. Not sure that’s coaching. I am a huge Smith fan. We just need talent and strongly believe our boosters need to pony up for talent. I’d be really curious to know what our BBALL guys are getting paid NIL wise. We’re definitely one or two good players away from competing. Love Gabe Madsen but he was a no show tonight. Pretty disappointing.
