i can't think of the last time the utes even got the best in state BB recruit...

c'mon...the highwater mark for them lately has been loveridge. not really a major talent.

they are totally reliant on players who aren't recruited by any of the other PAC schools.

let's see if they can get to .500 in conference this year. is a 6th place finish in the PAC good enough to get them into the ncaa tournament?

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

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

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

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.

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

yes because the #3 thing was a little exagerated

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...

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?

run26

12/21/14 11:57am

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

12/21/14 12:10pm

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

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.

Ute in DC

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