My issue with Ryan Smith

lasvegasute

12:03pm

in the end he's won as many championships as the LHM group

Beggar

12:05pm

But has he won as many hearts?

ryebrye

12:06pm

I put the most current Jazz debacle blame on Ainge. My only Ryan Smith complaint is the horrible highlighter yellow

RdF3

12:09pm

I'd wait for the finished product. It's hard to believe they've already

BlueFever

12:09pm

I really am not too worried about

Names require copyrights and other IP, so it is complicated

Helmet comms will make the game much better. An absurd amount of time and

Great step forward. But Michigan basically showed how beneficial hiking quickly

rcbyufan

12:03pm

Michigan also showed how beneficial knowing your opponent’s plays is.

rivercitycoug

12:06pm

but the fun signs with goofy graphics!!!!

Beggar

12:04pm

Expect the Utah win percentage to go down without signs

Longseason

12:07pm

Utah was 2-4 after every team changed signs due to the Michigan scandal.

I'm really going to miss the aircraft carrier flight deck crew sending noise

Why are Utah HC and Utah Hockey Club both on the list of names? Utah HC must stand for something else

Heh we do have the Heber Creeper! It fits!

Finneas

12:09pm

Atiki

CCookie

11:56am

You could apply that to the entire team . . .

LakeshowCougs

11:57am

Atiki has NBA frame and athleticism Others - not so much

CCookie

12:00pm

Same here. He could be a monster in the paint.

BlueFever

12:11pm

As of today here's the roster

mjmill All-American

11:54am

Did we get confirmation on fouss? I know he hasn’t said anything, are we just assuming? I might have missed something.

gmoney7

11:58am

I’m basically counting guys right now who are not in the portal

mjmill

11:59am

Does Kozlowski have the lateral quickness to play the 3?

Mostlyaccurate

11:58am

I’m skeptical of that. I think Koz is a 4 in the Dalton Nixon mold, but

mjmill

12:01pm

Is Cream Abdul Jabbar still available?

Huge Manatee

12:03pm

Still in the portal, but is DNC and will likely end up at Saint Louis.

jreid191

12:04pm

Duke has SEVEN players into portal, 2 into NBA and NO coaching change

VinnyBYU

11:54am

I think this is what Kentucky is trying to address with Pope

MrSandman

11:56am

In general, college sports just suck now

Beggar

11:59am

Duke has the top-ranked recruiting class in the country. Five incoming freshman

MLB has quit trying with the city connect jerseys. Add these to the trash heap.

shimmy In play, run(s)

11:49am

It was fun for 2 seasons. Now I just want it to go away

DodgerCoug

11:51am

I do like how it is 25% of the teams a season. Not every year like the NBA. They're on an awful losing streak. Cleveland

shimmy

11:59am

I haven’t seen a good one.

Fatalplacebo

11:51am

Angels are pretty good. They should just rebrand to their city connect.

DodgerCoug

11:52am

I think some are great. Padres, Marlins, Red Sox. Lots have at least a good hat or something.

Oh, you included the last one as a joke. Ha, I get it. Haha

Adrielle

replay / link avail?

VinnyBYU

11:55am

(Link) We owe Knell and Waterman a lot if we keep the majority of the guys

Schultz is back

12:02pm

Hasn't Waterman has been kind of quiet / absent in KY news / coaching change?

VinnyBYU

12:10pm

My favorite suggestion thus far: Utah 47ers

Ol Big Bear

11:47am

i'd hate to see the names you didn't like

dryflyelk

11:48am

It's less cartoonish and more consistent with Utah's history

Ol Big Bear

It says: "We beat the gold rush by 2 years, but aren't nearly as cool!"

They're still going to create all the merchandise with "Utah Hockey Club" on it

fredgarvin

Utah Commanders!

That was always a strong possibility. Branding is not a quick process.

RJCOD

11:39am

Yeti isn't bad, but I agree with you. I don't trust him to make a good choice.

Chester Copperpot

11:40am

Yeti is the most liked option

Magneto

11:42am

Outlaws is a terrible name. Absolutely garbage.

Icelandic Cougar

11:44am

No, 47ers is garbage. Outlaws is fine.

Chester Copperpot

12:03pm

One idea is the Utah Blizzard with the Yeti as the mascot

WJCougar

11:47am

DQ upside down milkshake as mascot

Pretorian

11:53am

Yep. I like this one

YIsForBrigham

11:53am

I’m ok with this idea.

DiamondDog

11:56am

Love yeti

Pretorian

11:52am

Yeti is a pretty cool name. It's short, unique, and has great brand potential

cougarblue

I like Taco Bell. I do not like their new Cantina menu. like none of it.

Cougarclaw

11:38am

Yeah it is way overpriced too. The stuff on their value menu is better.

SWKTNative

11:43am

I like the burrito

Chester Copperpot

11:43am

I think its good but overpriced. It's also just the current limited time menu item so probably not worth worrying about

CougPrime

11:47am

I haven’t tried it because it looks too healthy.

Tougher ticket to get next year, a Jazz ticket or a Utah (?) ticket

We don't need a Navy color scheme for another team in Utah.

Tesla Coug

Our best five as of today is Baker, Knell, Waterman, Fouss, and Atiki. I like all those pieces but we need 3 legit adds

puntersarepeople Intervention Needed

11:31am

Blegh we can’t win a game in the B12 with that. Atiki and Fous cannot be on the

Cooouuugs

11:35am

best five not starting 5. We need playmakers to win but all of those guys can play a significant role on a winning

puntersarepeople

11:40am

Davis will be an immediate-impact player. Two above-the-rim 4s — or a 4 & a 5 — would be nice.

SinkingQuffa

11:36am

who's the other above the rim 4?

icecougar

11:40am

I'm saying we should go get some from the Portal or HS ranks.

SinkingQuffa

11:44am

Davis, Waterman a nice punch at the 4

Nodak Cougar

11:43am

Stoked about Davis and the all clear that he’s 100% BYU still. Can’t wait to

bigbossbyu

11:46am

I'd like to see more verticality there. I'd prefer to see Waterman split minutes as 3.

SinkingQuffa

11:47am

He’s too slow to play 3. More likely to play 5 than 3 and for good reason

puntersarepeople

11:53am

I disagree. His lack of explosiveness in the paint is a bigger defensive concern.

SinkingQuffa

12:06pm

Those guys plus retaining Hall and Saunders gives Young enough talent

bigbossbyu

11:39am

Hopefully Jax has been on the phone with KY A LOT the past few days

provoprodigy

11:40am

For sure. I’d bet so, and Robby’s article before Pope left had Jax at 50/50
