I agree palos verdes. Cut Loveridge Bajema and Erickson minutes down. We need more athleticism.

I wish I was that confident. We have to replace 2 all American safeties. Road games in the Big 12 are hostile environments. Pittman-McClain doesn’t exactly strike any fear. Losing Matthew’s was a big loss. I hope you’re right with your assessment. We need some portal love!!

Good points PNW. I would also add that Rose hasn’t played at all yet. Throwing him in to a bowl game might be asking too much. Northwestern is a big ten program. They would make things really hard for him.

Playing on national tv we need to look like a balanced offense to lure some receivers in.

We need to go all in with Smith. We need him this year. If he is as good as some have claimed it would be a big addition. If we had a quick athletic point guard that could finish games we are a tournament team for sure.

Safeties are a big concern for next year. Hopefully we’ll get a glimpse in the Vegas bowl of Hall and Ritchie. Solid everywhere else. Offensively same story at receiver and TE. Kuithe would be big and Pittman is still unknown. The biggest concern next year might be depth. We were deep at every position except QB last year. That turned out to be a…[Read more]

Players like Bishop and Vaki are hard to find. Bummer we couldn’t get them to stay 1 more year to make a playoff run. Safeties are key to the defense.

I agree. I keep hearing scrimmage and nobody is playing. I wouldn’t be surprised if at least 15 of the starters in the Vegas bowl start next year. It’s a head start for next for some of new starters to get some playing time and impress their position coaches. I’m anxious to see how they play.

I might agree more with you eagle if everyone was coming back. I see 6-8 open spots next year. Second on the depth chart move up. They will be hungry to prove to the coaches they are ready. Barnes I agree unless he is considering staying.

I’d rather have everyone back next year and not take a chance on injury. They are gone and need replaced. W…[Read more]

Proud Ute posted 12/08 that Whitt said in his presser that Rose could play without losing eligibility. Barnes would start Rose and Bottari would back up. Seems to be some confusion.

I don’t see this game as a scrimmage. I see the young guys out to prove they are ready to start next year. Northwestern will be pumped so we better be ready to a…[Read more]

I shutter when Worster and Erickson are dribbling and handling the ball late in games. Neither can get separation from the defender. We play better when we run our offense and move the ball inside out.

It will become our weakness again in conference play. Smith would be a huge help. If I were coaching against us I would pressure the guards. If…[Read more]

Erickson looks like a really good rec or Westminster guard. Not a D1 tournament guard.

I agree palos verdes. It’s been this way for two years. Have we recruited a real point guard or have one on the roster? I don’t see it. I put the blame on coach Smith.

He coached Worster at USU and knew his limitations. Teams have gotten more and more athletic on defense each year. At this level you better have some athletic guards to match up.…[Read more]

Keba was awesome. It was fun watching him play with passion. We are a much better team with him in the game.

Bajema looks out of place. He is a less version of Madsen. Can shoot but can’t drive or handle the ball.

First time I’ve seen this team play with passion and desire. It was fun to watch. Maybe they need a big crowd and rivalry game to get them going.

We play good when we move the ball and get the ball inside to our bigs. Thats our str…[Read more]

That game gave me heart failure. At least we gutted it out. We need a ball handler.

Not at the game I tested positive for Covid yesterday. Get us win please.

Miami make sure the concessions hide the Mountain Dew and ice cream. Their students are already out of control. Go Utes

I’m expecting a win. We struggle against quick guards. We match up with their guards. We have a size advantage if we take advantage. Give Keita some big PT they can’t stop him inside.

I wish both sides would be more respectful. Especially if you’re a guest! You get a bunch of students together and it becomes a shit show.
