Manny Hendrix played 4 years for the Running Utes then had a great career with the Cowboys.

Perhaps also have contracts that last more than one season two so they can’t transfer every off-season. Right now when the season ends, every player essentially becomes an unrestricted free agent.

Chris had early season ending injuries 2 years in a row so we’ve never really got a good look at him. Hope wherever he ends up he stays healthy and gets a chance to finally get some playing time.

Even faked out the cameras on that one.

Caps lock stuck? Or perhaps posting from a VIC-20?

In addition to our conference opener against the Cowboys, Utah TCU has the potential to be a great matchup.

But other than Clemson/FSU, every matchup listed there is Big10 or SEC teams which is no surprise.

Of course for a long time, many have wondered what on earth Jazz (which I happen to enjoy) has to do with Utah.

I perceive they mean the team and fans play and cheer at a feverish high intensity level.

Indeed on the EA College football game on XBOX (lets you customize what teams are in each conference each season) one can come up with all sorts of different configurations. I used to put the Southwest Conference (all the Texas power schools) and Big 8 back together for example. On a tangent, I am looking forward to the new edition, first in a…[Read more]

A few positives I see for this sort of thing is 10 teams in each division means potentially everyone can play all the other teams in their division every year with all teams playing 9 conference (division games) (instead of some play 8 and some play 9).

Also nice to mostly have teams closer together (instead of conferences containing teams from…[Read more]

Hopefully we’ll not repeat the mistake made in Provo (where they put one logo on the 25 and the other on the 15).

Utah fans are lamenting the loss of Worster and (to a lesser extent) Exacte. But it’s a mass exodus in Provo the last few days.

Maween (sp?), Center, came out of Granger High, played at Night with the Running Utes then was red-shirted. Transferred to Kansas State where he played a significant role.

Doesn’t like to stay in the same place. Given he burned us a few years ago, I wouldn’t even look at him.

Crazy that we had a better percentage for treys than from the charity stripe.

On a neutral court, Utah beat a good Wake Forest team and played well in losses to Houston and St. John’s. Also crushed Arizona State in Vegas before running into a red hot Colorado team.

Rollie was a consistent performer always good for about 10 points, 5 boards and 5 assists. Very seldom had an unproductive outing. Missed his own triple double last year when Anthony took away a late rebound from him.

Would be nice for him to stick around.

Tarlac just never seemed to play consistently at the college level. Very surprised if he is still around next season and as always, wish him well whatever path his life takes him.

Keita has the body and athleticism to become a great basketball player. Still in need of fine-tuning many parts of his game (in particular needs to improve his outside shooting skills). I hope he’ll stay with Utah another year at least, but he’ll certainly be a very attractive and sought after target in the transfer portal.

As he played…[Read more]

I guess one nice thing about having a hoops program stuck in mediocrity is we aren’t worrying about our coach being poached by other programs.

I feel for our brothers up north. Any time a team/coach (especially football and men’s hoops) shows promise, someone comes in with a $$$$$ offer that they can’t refuse.
