Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Dawes Withdraws from Portal in the forum Basketball (Men) 4 hours, 40 minutes ago
Dawes would be #1 on my list to retain. Potential 20pt 10reb guy. Reminds me of Shawn Marion. AJ will fine tune his game.
#2 Wahlin: hard to find a 6’9 player that can move and run the court. He can develop a corner 3 and an occasional drive to the basketball. He is a the ultimate role player and local kid.
#3 Mike S: many might disagree but he h…[Read more] -
Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Who is Byrd Ficklin? in the forum Football 1 day, 3 hours ago
We need depth at Qb. Dampier will get beat up running the ball. Ficklin has similar skills to Dampier. A much different offense than we’ve seen in the Ludwig era. A less complicated offense should make it easier for the young QBs to grasp and get ready to play sooner. The spark has been lit on offense. If the Oline buys in it could be a fun y…[Read more]

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic In the portal but on the floor in the forum Basketball (Men) 2 days, 4 hours ago
Utegator this was once a competitive basketball program. The Huntsman center was packed and the teams played hard and smart. The portal and NIL has become a money grab. If you don’t like your pay check or role leave. Can’t blame the players for going after a bigger pay day and playing time.
It’s sad college sports has now become profe…[Read more]

I agree he’s done. He can’t score or shoot foul shots. We need a more athletic center. He would be a great backup for 10 minutes a game.

Thanks Ute dub. Great interview. What parent wouldn’t want Alex to coach their son.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Wahlin in the portal…says he'll talk with Jensen and others in the forum Basketball (Men) 2 weeks, 3 days ago
I’m with you Rusty. I think Wahlin is a unique player at 6’10. If he can learn to hit the corner 3 with his size and length he could be a starting role player. Jensen will want him for sure. He is only a sophomore. Next year he should take a big step forward.

Ezra is a little undersized. He struggles with taller defenders. KD better all around player.

USU star player was once a Ute (Martinez). He would have been a big help for the Utes this year. The Aggies have a great tradition and fan base. If you ever get the chance go to a USU home game. It’s a great atmosphere. The students really support the team.

There is a lot of good teams this year. Cooper Flaggs ankle could be a game changer for Duke. The tournament this year will be amazing. I’m all in on the USU Aggies. They don’t have the talent to go far but fun to root for. Hope they can get a win.

Arrogance is different depending on which side of the fence you’re on. How many years have we heard BYu fans complain about Ute fans being arrogant. I guess when you’ve been over shadowed by your rival for the past 20 years it’s understandable.
This is the first year since the Lavell era that BYU has been on the national radar in both FB and B…[Read more]

Amazing how 1 good year in football and basketball and suddenly they’re a national power. They have plenty to be excited about but the arrogance is out of control.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic State of the BB program in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 weeks ago
I apologize to all for a poorly worded post. I changed the wording after I posted and reread. Thanks Narfute for the corrections. I’m not a Majerus hater by any means. The post was meant to look at how we got to this point in Utah basketball. I have been a faithful follower of Utah BB since my dad took me to games at the old Einar Nelson field h…[Read more]

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic State of the BB program in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 weeks ago
I was good friends with Shaun Greens dad and he told me Majerus quit recruiting his last year because he knew he was done. I’m not blaming Majerus at all. He left Giac with great talent but not much incoming behind them.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic State of the BB program in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 weeks ago
Narfute I stand corrected. You are right. The incoming recruits of 2004 was Majerus last recruiting year. After Bogut left the cupboard was bare. Sorry for the confusion.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic State of the BB program in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 weeks ago
Bogut was not a Majerus recruit.

Jim Vanderhoof started the topic State of the BB program in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 weeks ago
Majerus sabotaged the program when he left. He knew he was leaving and quit recruiting. The cupboard was bare for the incoming coach. Biggest mistake the athletic director ever made in my opinion was not hiring Judkins to take over. Two bad coaching hires and the hole was dug.
Coach K brought the program back to respectability but the hole was…[Read more]

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Of all the players on the team, I hope Dawes sticks around. in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 weeks, 1 day ago
I wouldn’t overpay for Asur. He is undersized to make a run at the tournament. He was a star on this team. Little would be a no for me. We need a major upgrade in talent and athleticism to compete for the top four in conference. Go get Chandler from Kentucky. He is an Utah kid and was an Utah bb fan. He would be a great fit and someone to build a…[Read more]

I would keep those three for sure. Wahlin would be my only other possibility. Reasons: he’s local, he is long, and he moves well for his size. Could be a good role player for Jensen.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Post-season game tonight and zero posts about it. in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Now you know why there is no posts. This team doesn’t have much upside. Lacks athleticism and talent. Majerus would say “ we look like the ski team “.
