Larry’s son is a walk on, no big deal. Jones and Martinez are clearly Pac level athletes. Connor, I don’t know about, is not on the roster, don’t know why he would fit in. Lots of questions with the team, much to work on, this is off the list not near the bottom. I have not been a fan of family on the team but as long as it does not impact…[Read more]

Absolutely. When you have a 90% free throw shooter, everything possible should be done to force the other team to foul him to stop the clock. Required strategy for Jr Jazz and above.

Alex is a great coach and would head the list of folks with Utah ties. I think Utah ties are great but not key. I do agree that if we have a top paid coach we should have results that are commensurate. But as we try to finish the season as well as possible I don’t want to burden the players with the additional load of worrying about a lame duck…[Read more]

Allen is not the best but is in the 70s, actually better than Jones, he had a bad night. Carlson is in the 50s and should be out at crunch time. Larsson is automatic in the 90s, Battin, Jantunen, and Martinez are all in the 80s. I don’t expect to see that much awkwardness in a short stretch for a while. I think we realize we need a plan for…[Read more]

I agree. If he would join Barton and Moa coming to the U, I would be happy with the instate recruiting. Getting Maile also would be more than expected.

I disagree. Looking at the top Pac teams Utah has not lost key players while all the others have. Utah had its best year of recruiting in the Pac. The transfers should provide a good option is key areas. I expect the OL to be better, no losses and another year for all the underclassmen. We will get our starting QB from last year back. Most…[Read more]

The WR are ok, however, I do feel they need to get better at gaining separation. The TEs and Covey do seem to consistently separate. I hope the Utah coaches were watching how Sark used creative misdirection to get receivers leaking out without a defender. We ask a lot for a QB to throw to someone with only a step or two on their defender so often.

Oddly played good but lost. Lost track of another 10 point halftime lead. We had what was needed except free throw shooting. Not often do 3 guys miss both when they are needed. Lots of folks netting nicked up as well. Need to put together a complete game to take the next step.

Hopefully he is here for spring.

I don’t hate coach K, just want us to do better. I think he is much like I was, old school, slow to change, wanting to change, but slip back to telling folks what to do when persuading gets difficult. I’m guessing here, but the new culture requires a leader that is relatable, not just right. Oddly, if he got past the tipping point where…[Read more]

I knew several that went to the Y and never attended church before or while there. I think the endorsements are handed out with the hope that attending will be good for inactive kids. There are kids of every kind down there, most attend church but some are literally ramroded in by parents or some other sponsor. Then again, what is the point of…[Read more]

We can’t have just one QB, he may get hurt. Can’t have just two QBs, one may leave or two get hurt. Whitt is trying to have a QB room with the best possible 3 leaders. I like the possibilities he has to work with, an experienced guy, a very athletic strong runner that at a minimum is an awesome wildcat option, a promising pro freshman, and a…[Read more]

This is probably a two part question. The 2020 season has to be a great disappointment in general with no fans, cancellations and short season. With all that a given, your question is probably how did we do like you would ask any year. Problem is what should we have expected in terms of overcoming obstacles that we may not understand and were…[Read more]

I don’t think Utah or any booster can send him, that would be on him and his family. Either way, all of our QBs can already do what Wilson has with his schedule. If the Y had their original schedule for 2020 this discussion would not take place.

Intelligence has little to do with it. Arizona is in the top half, WSU and OSU fall lower with ASU if that is the measure. Push back from fans will come as you threaten them. Outside of the CCG the north teams don’t have us on the radar as much as the south teams. Even splitting games with USC every other year, it will be some time before they…[Read more]
