I believe it is the right decision. If your team is 350th in MBB in free throw shooting – you should be fired. However, I am not sure about the timing.

It is sad to me that the Ute basketball program which had so much rich history has to be rebuilt from scratch. It will not be an easy job.

I have some strong opinions about what is going on in Washington. However, I do not want this board to become like UteFans. I will go somewhere else to share my political views.

Go Utes!!!

Technically Whitt said, “He’s not on the current roster.” That would leave the door open. I am not suggesting or hoping that Cam stays. I’m just saying that Whitt’s words were carefully parsed, leaving the door open.

BUT – I do not think Cam is staying. Personally, I think we need to move on. I love CR, but we need to move on to the next generation of Utes.

That would be great news!!!

I like Rose and appreciate that he stayed after last season. However, with everyone we have in the QB room now, and Johnson as an emergency QB – I would not waste a roster spot on Rose. He is not good enough for that now that we have rebuilt to QB room.

His injury will not allow him to play in spring ball, so that works against him right now. I agree with the post above – that his best option right now is likely an FCS team. I hope it works out well for him.

We have plenty of other portal needs right now, including TE, Dline, Defensive backfield, etc. I would happily accept Woods returning to our QB room if he hasn’t already been picked up.

A couple of things I would like to see.

1. Barton stays.
2. Damuni gets permission to stay.
3. Wilson gets his surgery asap.
4. Johnson is willing to try another position other than QB.
5. We do a better job of developing our Oline. I think we have the guys, but we need them to deliver as a team.

The 4 top seeds all lost.

That’s fair.

I do agree that not having a Cam Rising distraction will be a big plus in 2025.

I agree that Barton did not have a good season. I talked to his family just last week. He had never recovered from his 2023 injury and was a step slow. I hope to see the Barton from the 2023 again in 2025.

As far as the D-line is concerned – we do have Fano back and he is a stud IMO. But, we seem to lack experience in the middle. That’s just me. I will gladly eat crow and I so hope that I am wrong.

Tony, I get what you are saying. BUT, other teams lose QBs and the offense still performs. In 2023 when we lost Rising, Arizona lost Ward. They went to their backup and ended up 10-2. Preparing a backup QB is the coach’s responsibility. We have not had a good backup QB in years.

Also, we had a lot more problems than just QB in 2024 IMO. The offense was worse than pathetic.
