I think he is a good coach. The team needs a better recruiter. He is better than Alford, but definitely no Shawn Miller. I expect top three finishes in conference with the occasional down year. Winning the conference? Yeah, I don’t anticipate that happening without some bad luck happening to other teams.

But overall I think he is a good coach.…[Read more]

Wait—-what exactly are you rejecting?

Bringing in players that are not vetted enough, or are not “PAC 12 quality”, or are a “defensive liability” or “don’t want to be a reserve player” and thus they transfer out is 100% the fault of the coaching staff. They brought all of those players here. They are responsible for the vetting of players! They…[Read more]

and that hamster wheel is producing a non-conf schedule that is pathetic. “team needs to gel” is the coaches fault for building a team that keeps turning over.

I get that players don’t turnout the way coaches expected….or they get homesick…..or they are just a dick and their teammates can’t tolerate their attitude. I get that every team…[Read more]

as long as we don’t have to in-bound the ball……….

😉

that starting 5 has a lot of “ifs” in it! and, why would you count on Smith and Seeley being starting material immediately?

See – that’s the problem. we don’t have a bench…and we don’t have starters!

And I don’t see Collette as a 5 at all…he flops a ton and his foul trouble never got better at all.

I don’t think the risk is Kuzma going to…[Read more]

Grasshopper? That’s a really cute response.

the media actually got him to answers questions directly about these issues….since the latest announcement? I’ve neither read nor heard that. Can you provide a link? Or are you referring to his “we wish them well comment” which is nothing more than the company line and is lazy on the media’s part for…[Read more]

JoJo Zamora was a JC transfer too….so what’s your point?

Are you saying that Delon helped build the program? If so, what program? The one we have right now?

🙂

Yes, the occasional JC transfer can HELP a team…but you don’t build a program with them. You build a program with freshmen who develop over several years.

a JC transfer is 100% a…[Read more]

what sites do you guys use to follow Utes recruiting?

He has not received his extra year from the NCAA. He is technically a senior with no eligibility unless he is granted his waiver.

Larry said last night that they are hopeful, but it’s the NCAA so nothing is guaranteed.

Bealer chose not to participate in senior night because he believes he will get his waiver.

the tl:dr version is that the team:

1) lacked leadership all year long
2) that Coach K wants leadership in a form other than leading the team in scoring (nice jab at Kuzma there Coach K)
3) that Kuzma is sick of hearing about leadership
4) that the style of play was not the style Coach K claims he wants…..”too flashy” and “disrespectful of the…[Read more]

yep…..I agree with his statement. Hell, we don’t like this team either.

There is something fundamentally wrong going on behind the scenes. Something has been off since the beginning, but all we heard was “wait for Barefield and Collette”. I think Collette was practicing his flops all summer long. As for Barefield, his outburst of 35 points (I…[Read more]

That’s damn funny……it’s sad, but damn funny.

I agree…Kuzma got his numbers this year. But I didn’t see the leadership you are talking about. Sure, maybe 1 gamer here or there..but that is not my definition of a leader. He has been a favorite of mine (and my kids) so don’t get me wrong. But I would never describe him as the leader of this team.

I don’t disagree with the fact that the team…[Read more]
