He turned down Utah and became an Oregon Duck.  I have better things to do with my money.

Thanks for the link.  Picked up a ticket for myself.  See you Sat. night.

In the highlight film he is consistantly getting 3 or 4 yac yards.  Whit loves yac yards!

Brewer has the big game experience.  I would expect he will play most of the game.  Rising has a better grasp of the playbook.  I have read that it takes a couple of years to digest the entire thing.  That was one of the reasons he got the call last year.  I would expect Rising will get subbed in to run certain sets that Brewer hasn’t practiced yet.

You need not worry.  Just follow the players that Harlan ran off.  Most of them will be in the NCAA tourney.

The 2021 Roster that I have has Loyd as a Jr.  Doesn’t matter though, he is going pro.  Kuithe is a Jr.  Covey is a Jr,  He has said that this is his final year.  Kincaid is a Jr.  Fatheringham is a Jr.  Kincaid is a Jr.  Fordis a Jr.  Due to the shortened season season last year no one lost a year of eligibility.   If the choose they all can come back.

The Utes have a load of Freshman  and Sophomores seeing the field.  The future is bright.  When the game slows down for them look out!

The Utah Shovel Pass is called The Utah Shovel Pass because it was created here.  1957 and 1958.  Inovative Utah coach Jack Curtice, aka, “Cactus Jack” and Quarterback All American Lee Grosscup invented it.

Harlan must have had inside info.  Seen it comming.  He has already hired  MWC basletball coach.

It took Krystkowiak a long time to figure it out.  I believe he finally did.  What I am telling you is next year was not a rebuilding year.  It was a year he was going to cash in on the building work of the previous three years.  Unless you have a bunch of 5 star one and dones it takes solid upper class leadership and experience to be a good NCAA tourney team.  Timmy Allen 4th yr Sr.  Brandon Carlson, Jaxson Brenchley, Mikael Jantuen, and Rylon Jones all 3rd yr Jrns.  Pelle Larssson and Ian Martinez 2nd yr Soph.  This upper class leadership philosphy is another Majerus coaching belief.  Two more solid Euro players were comming in as Fr.  Other than the two players that were leaving because were not going to see the floor much.  The player turnover problem had been solved.  Like several have stated on this site.  They quite paying much attention to basketball  a  long time ago.  The only place that I heard of anyone else leaving the team was on this site.

A lot of folks are really high on Coach Smith.  He got Ut. St. to the Dance!!  As a Utah fan I hope they are right.  If you a little closer his record.  He got Ut. St. to the dance in a weak league.  Cleveland St. and Eastern Washington got in the same way.  Ut. St 1st game results pretty much the same as Clev. St. and E. Wash.  The bug on the windshield analogy quite appropriate here.  Tired of rebuilding, well it’s back.  Another Majerus quote. “Coaches don’t make any baskets or get any rebounds.  Players do.  If your players don’t have talent you are not going to win”  So far Smth’s recruits could do a pretty job in the Mt. West or WAC.  Not the Pac 12.

First round picks are rare.  If Ian Martinez puts in the work.  He has the athletic ability to be a potential NBA first rounder.   Pelle Larson will get a good look from the NBA.  Jantunen, Thelissen, and Stefanovic will have careers playing pro ball.  They have experience with Euro pro ball.  The came here for a taste of the U.S. style of the game and maybe an shot at the NBA.  Timmy Allen will most likely play on Europe.  If Brandon Carlson decides to put in the work (weight room) he will play pro.

I was excited to watch Matinez.  He has the athletic ability to do things you just don’t see every day. Ian and his father were here to get Ian tuned up for the NBA.  I would put him in a catagory with Danny Vranes, Mike Sojourner, and Jerry Chambers.

I could ramble on but it might put everyone here to sleep.
