Not only that, but how is Utah headed for 10-14 seasons? The XII plays 20-gane league schedules, not 24-game schedules. It wouldn’t be overall, either. Every season we play at least 30 games.

I think the cognitive abilities of Cali Man is unquestionably in decline.

But he’s right! What the Runnin Utes need to play big time basketball isn’t Alex Jensen or a good coach, it’s a really elite and experienced HD TV – uh, maybe to put in the JMHC, or the coach’s office? Or maybe the locker room so our guys can video game before and after the games?

We’re so lucky Cali Man showed up to point this out! Where would…[Read more]

I would say KD is priority #1 this coming off season. It’s clear that he offers the most upside and is a very talented player.

Thankfully, he’s getting more time now that Smith is gone – and if they hire Jensen for HC I can’t see how KD could possibly leave with such incredible excitement coming in like that. Especially, as it’s been said again…[Read more]

For most of us, this opportunity seems like it should be a no brainer for Jensen – returning to his alma mater and being the top guy, one that fans and donors are yearning for.

I’m not saying he is reluctant to take the job, but the longer the process drags out, the more it’s possible that he isn’t sure about it.

He’s been in the coaching game a…[Read more]

I don’t take the radio silence as a bad sign yet. If two weeks from now we still have no announcement, then I think this is a fair question to ask.

Yep, to me this is the reason why his firing is justified. He disrespected a Utah legend who was only trying to reach out and help make Smith successful.

The way he handled that was absolutely inexcusable.

That honestly pissed me off when I heard Grant say that.

Very well said

And Mason Madsen. He has been criminally under used by Smith lately. And his frustration has been obvious on his YT channel. I’ll bet he’s excited about the change.

This team has shown buy in all season. I’d be very surprised if they check out the rest of the season when there’s still a chance at a postseason bid.

Miller needs to be involved in some way. If. It as HC, he should at least be an assistant coach/assoc head coach.

If what you say is true, I hope Smith is dismissed after this season. Only because I’d LOVE to have Andre take over and get the bigger boosters involved. It sounds like that’s precisely what we need at this point.

So I’m fully on board with Andre for next year. I’d imagine that’s probably Harlan’s plan if it’s that cut and dried with Andre ready…[Read more]

Who do the boosters want?

The one I keep going to is Utah State. Smaller than Utah in every way, but still manages to make the ncaa tournament most years, regardless of who the coach is.

That shows you right there it’s possible at Utah if you invest in the program. It seems like Utah hasn’t given a damn about basketball in years, and certainly not since Harlan arrived.

Yeah I think Lovering is out of eligibility after this year. He was a year late for the covid year.

Oh Lovering is done after this year? Makes sense, I just thought he got the covid year. But I guess he was a year late for that.

Too bad, id love to have Law back next year.

So Law and Lohner are definitely gone. Sounds like the Madsens are, too.

True. Let’s see how they do. We really need them to be good.

Yeah, KU is in a slump right now but this is still a good team. Don’t forget they have five Quad 1 wins, including a win over Duke.

I think by seasons end, Kansas will still be regarded as a solid team.

I’ve been wondering for months how the hell we got Lohner to come back. He seemed to be really turned off by Utah when he flipped to BYU and I thought that would be forever. I was stunned when I saw he was transferring here to play football and hoops.

He’s no scoring juggernaut, but he plays HARD and he’s tough as a mule. I love Caleb as a Ute…[Read more]

He got Battin to stick around but that didn’t help. Allen, Larsson and Plummer were the ones to keep.
