Butler was a bad team in a G5 conference and Utah still lost to them in a neutral (but favorable to Utah) venue. Makes you wonder how this Utah team ever won any conference games at all. Seeing as almost all of their conference victories took place at the JHC, I tend to think that altitude had something major to do with it. The only exception…[Read more]

His play in the last minute of the game would have seen him cut immediately if he was pro…his airball with the game tied and 20+ seconds left in the game is a microcosm of his soon to be short career at Utah.

He’s a University of Utah fan that lives in Vegas…they had a short interview with him on ESPN at halftime.

Someone posted here recently that Miro Little, at $500K, had the highest NIL payout of any current Ute. If so, wow…never has so much been ventured for so little return.

Is anyone else sick of this yet?

The Miami Ute replied to the topic Miro Little highest paid NIL in the forum Basketball (Men) 5 days, 19 hours ago
I don’t know if that’s good or bad for basketball, but it certainly is good for the individuals cashing the checks. It’s the only reason why guys like Lovering are politicking to get a fifth year of eligibility when he has no legitimate leg to stand on. Somewhere down the line, you might see players challenging the whole “four years of…[Read more]

The Miami Ute replied to the topic Miro Little highest paid NIL in the forum Basketball (Men) 5 days, 21 hours ago
If he was paid $500K, then that shows how screwed up the system is. Based on his performance this season, Little wouldn’t even be a benchwarmer in the G League, and even the best players there earn a flat base salary of $40,500 for the five to six-month season. It’s the world turned upside down…

The Miami Ute replied to the topic Lawson Lovering to the Transfer Portal? in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 week, 1 day ago
LOL…that would really be a unique approach. But, when lawyers and agents get involved, anything is possible. Essentially, they’d be trying to convince the decision-makers that common sense doesn’t apply when it comes to “student-athletes.” Gotta love it. I’m not blaming Lovering for anything, since he’s just following his interest, but, in…[Read more]

The Miami Ute replied to the topic Big XII vs SEC in the Dance in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 week, 1 day ago
Honestly, I don’t keep track of anything related to the Big 12. I personally don’t feel any connection to those schools and that’s never going to change. It’s unfortunate but that’s just the way it is. In fact, I feel way more of a connection to other schools in the Mountain West (like Utah State, Wyoming, Colorado State, etc..) than anything…[Read more]

Dorian Singer also thought that he’d get another year and that was denied, wasn’t it? I guess that this is another one of those cases where a player tries to push the envelope to see where it takes him. Again, personally I can’t see how this gets approved when Lovering played major minutes in all four of his college seasons. Even in his…[Read more]

LOL, just ten years? If he continues to hit at that rate he’ll be on the court until his 40s.

The Miami Ute started the topic Lawson Lovering to the Transfer Portal? in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 week, 2 days ago
I’m not certain what his take is. He’s played four full college seasons without ever redshirting and he doesn’t qualify for a extra Covid year. My understanding is that Lovering is entering the portal as a graduate student, and will seek a medical hardship waiver for an additional year of NCAA eligibility and will also consider returning to the…[Read more]

That’s awesome….I hope that he’s a late bloomer and finds his niche in the league.

Great idea…but wasn’t Jensen a freshman in 94-95 before going on a 2-year mission?

A pox on your house…honestly though, they picked a nationally televised game to put on their worst performance of the season. I’m sure Tourigny will be letting them know that their effort tonight was not acceptable. It was almost as if they couldn’t be bothered to exert themselves.

Looks like Mammoth has leaked as the new team name. I was hoping that they would stay as the UHC but Mammoth wasn’t far off from being my personal favorite.

I don’t know if everyone got one…there was just one table manned by students with, I don’t know, maybe 40-50 shirts of every size laid out on it. But you’re right, if Alex turns into the second coming of Majerus, those T-shirts might become collectors’ items. One thing that does kind of scare me given Alex’s vast NBA experience and…[Read more]

That’s what I say…maybe a 1000…as you alluded to, I think the fact that it took place on a workday and started just after most people would be getting off work kind of limited attendance. I noticed A LOT of people of retiree age in the crowd. I was in the second row and there were plenty of spots available for seating. I’m glad though that…[Read more]

You know what’s a dumb take Rusty? Thinking that Wahlin is more than what he’s shown over the last two seasons, which is a role player. I don’t know if you actually read my comment or if you went from zero to crazy in a second, but I did start by saying that I indeed wanted Wahlin to be back.

The Miami Ute replied to the topic Wahlin in the portal…says he'll talk with Jensen and others in the forum Basketball (Men) 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Look, I want Wahlin to be back but I’m not going to get broken up over a guy who’s stat line is 6 PPG, 5 RPG, and 1 APG. Those stats have “role player” written all over them. My biggest concern about his departure is his leaving when he’s a local guy about to be coached by a local legend that just happened to play his position.
