Calling Craig Smith a good, possibly great coach is the funniest thing I have heard in months. Yes, we just won two games in a row. One against possibly the worst Kansas team we have seen in a decade and the other over a mediocre KSU squad. Prior to that we lost three road games in a row against two mediocre teams and one crappy team. Smith’s…[Read more]

I did the same thing. I had 5 in W13 and it just got ridiculous keeping them and using all of them. The last season I had them I never used all 5 of them once. Such a waste of money. It certainly is a younger man’s game. Now if I want to attend in person I just either buy from friends and family or use the secondary market. It saves me well…[Read more]

I think NIL and the portal make coach loyalty and impact on coaches contracts less of an issue.

We have not had a decent point since Delon Wright. Davon had flashes late last year but was not consistent. Men’s college basketball is a guard dominated game. We are in a conference with some really top notch guard-driven teams and our record shows our deficiencies big time.

What are you talking about? Smith had Brandon Carlson for the first 3 years here and did nothing. Brandon plays for the OKC Thunder. Smith’s biggest issue as I see it is he has had horrible guards his entire time here. Davon was probably the best but he left us after playing half a season and even he had some serious flaws.

The college is,…[Read more]

Backward hat bros! That would go well in Utah County for sure!

Taking care of the basketball and free throws have been constant theme with Smith’s teams. Does he purposefully recruit players that cannot handle the ball or shoot free throws or is he developing these skill sets?

A closet Nazi that wears the “bring them home” pin supporting Israeli hostages from October 7th and has given millions to Israel to help them post October 7th. This thread is an absolute joke. It reminds me of the many mindless far left posts that made UteFans into an online cesspool of liberal group think.

Winning. The product is not always fun to watch on TV, let alone travel up to the stadium in the cold. Parking also sucks. Also remember that the Huntsman center is about 5,000 to 8,000+ more seats than most college-level arenas. It would be nice if the students actually made up for some of the empty seats like they do at USU and BYU but I…[Read more]

Majerus also had 2-3 NBA caliber players besides Van Horne who he could rely on. Smith doesn’t that the luxury. Also, using Majerus and Smith in the same post seems almost sacrilegious and wrong!

I used to be a very loyal listener to ESPN 700 and 1280. Both have gone downhill IMO. I just stopped listening to all of it and I have been much happier. I have also stopped obsessing over recruits, NIL, and the portal. When I did, it put it all in perspective for me and it has made me become less obsessed with all things Utah, Big 12, etc.…[Read more]

What about Eric Bieniemy?

It was nice to see us play a team that was clearly worse than us for a change! Wahlin played like he did back in high school. A very nice game for him on both ends! Good to see. Will someone please explain Erickson to me? I bet there are at least 20-25 Utah high school players right now that are better than him. I don’t get it.

When I watch them it is like watching a high level AAU super league team vs. a Junior Jazz team. The basketball skill is not there. The basketball IQ is not these. The athleticism is not there. You cannot play great defense lacking these things against opponents that all have them. Our first three opponents all have them. We got killed three…[Read more]

So Harlan is a boss with no power and you think that is a good thing? Or that he has zero responsibility?

That was the point I was trying to make a few days ago. Someone on here said that basketball sucked because we are totally focused on football which is somehow our ticket to the Big 10. Well, our football team has gone 12-13 over the past two seasons so even they are failing. So Harlan is failing across the board in almost all men’s sports…[Read more]

Meh. Dude couldn’t see a hole if it was ten feet wide. Best of luck to him down there.

This entire thread screams out that we need a new AD. It sounds like our AD cannot chew gum and walk at the same time if all he can do is pour resources into the football program that has gone 12-13 over the past two years. Dr. Hill had football, basketball, gymnastics, women’s b-ball, women’s volleyball, skiing, and even in a few years baseball…[Read more]

I am pretty sure he will end up at USC. They just lost Bear Alexander to Oregon and have a huge hole to fill and a lot more cash than we have. My question is what is Tanuvasa going to do at another school where they need to compensate him for the use of his name, image, or likeness? What is he going to be doing to earn the money? NIL has…[Read more]
