as we close out 2014, UU is top 15 b-ball and will be top 20 football

The Big 12 may have moved on

TNT

there will always be hope until 2 additional teams are invited

I'm totally convinced it's coaching.

It's coaching and talent both.

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

Polecat

12/21/14 11:39am

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

run26

12/21/14 11:55am

Indeed they are.

Polecat

12/21/14 12:04pm

Its a good point.

Zaphod

12/21/14 2:20pm

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

rggee

12/21/14 11:29am

Higher off the field, dramatically lower on the field.

Polecat

12/21/14 11:43am

Our basketball program is still better.

12/21/14 11:29am

ok but when was the last time we were ranked #15?

run26

12/21/14 11:31am

2011

rggee

12/21/14 11:33am

Oh and we were ranked #3 at that point.

rggee

12/21/14 11:34am

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

12/21/14 12:00pm

yes because the #3 thing was a little exagerated

run26

12/21/14 12:02pm

Uh....we were top 10 almost the entire year. With Brandon Davies I think we

i guess i just remember finishing with a loss in the sweet 16

If you look back at that year and don't have great memories, you have SERIOUS

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

BYUCougarsFan

12/21/14 12:13pm

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

SBJ

12/21/14 12:23pm

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

run26

12/21/14 11:57am

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

BYUCougarsFan

12/21/14 12:10pm

Ute BB program is clearly up off the matt, but let's not discount what is going

CalGTR

12/21/14 12:00pm

I don't even think this year they are better. They beat us in one game where we

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

12/21/14 12:12pm

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

Ute in DC

12/21/14 12:17pm

agreed...but that's not the utes "problem"...
