I am totally convinced that the difference between byu and uu now is recruitment based on PAC 12 vs. independence. We should thank UU for illustrating to us why we have to get a B12 invite at all costs (except Sunday play).

The Big 12 may have moved on

there will always be hope until 2 additional teams are invited

I'm totally convinced it's coaching.

i'm not going to defend our coaches after the October Surprise this year

It's coaching and talent both.

I'm convinced it's institutional philosophy. BYU does not want to be like any

well, they are doing a good job of not keeping up

run26

12/21/14 11:55am

Indeed they are.

Polecat

Its a good point.

haven't we had higher ranked recruiting classes?

rggee

12/21/14 11:25am

higher than UU? or higher than we had before?

run26

12/21/14 11:28am

than the UofU

Higher off the field, dramatically lower on the field.

Our basketball program is still better.

12/21/14 11:31am

2011

rggee

12/21/14 11:33am

Oh and we were ranked #3 at that point.

Seriously are people's memories that bad? No, really I am asking. OK that has

yes because the #3 thing was a little exagerated

I agree with the 2 years. The Utes have very athletic freshmen(excluding Poetl)

ALUF 1990

12/21/14 11:35am

I wouldn't say BYU is better

SBJ

12/21/14 11:39am

you're right...never can tell what JC transfers the utes will plug in again

ds7

12/21/14 11:43am

JC transfer or freshman, whatever gets you results does it matter?

SBJ

12/21/14 12:07pm

yes...

ds7

12/21/14 12:12pm

Nope. Poetl, Chapman and Kuzma = Diaper dandies

We're seeing a different Utah team though. New coach and since he's been there

i'm tired of always being asked to look ahead. first in football. now b-ball?

It's clearly different. Look at the recruits we have coming in for basketball

It doesn't matter where they come from. What matters is whether they can play.

Having players leave early for the NBA is a good "problem" to have.
