Sorry.... I basically posted the same thing. I had to look it up and had the same thoughts as you.
I do remember that when Utah cancelled BYU Larry made the comment that they would schedule at least one opponent that would cause Ute fans to high five each other. There was a lot of speculation about that being Gonzaga (a game that makes sense on a lot of levels). I wonder if that would change now.
There was also some chatter that the BYU game next year was a home and home because someone backed out of a game with us...or at least that was the inference by some, but I've not seen that reported or substantiated anywhere else.
I always think that these coaches should just get together with the other teams in their NCAA tournament Pod and get some games scheduled. Iowa St, Purdue, Little Rock, Iona...sure, why not?

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
Looks like last year's slate wasn't finalized until September.

Given Larry's track record, that's a given.
We're up to snuff, we never bluff, we're game for any fuss. Or at least we used to be.
He's saying that Utah cancelled BYU because Larry knew we would lose and therefore we would not play a series against Gonzaga because we know we will lose that one too. In other words, he's admitting to being a simple troll or a dim bulb--I'm not sure which.
If Gonzaga goes on to win the ncaa championship maybe we could play them in the Staples Center, a la Duke at MSG.
Frankly I am nervous about our OOC schedule next year considering Isaiah Wright will be our starting PG until (future All-American PG) Barefield can play in January.
At least Eric Mika will be able to contribute immediately for Utah.
As much as I disagreed with cancelling the BYU series myself, I am kind of enjoying how much it has gotten under BYU fans' skin.

Their favorite lament is that Larry is afraid to play them. It's wonderful to watch.

With the new rules, i wonder if kyle kuzma will declare for the draft. I think i would if i were in his shoes.
When can they play?
I remember the FB situation where Jason Thompson could play in the bowl game because the first semester had ended. Is it when it ends or when the next semester starts??
If the former then maybe schedule so that majority of games after that date??
When they have completed 2 semesters. So after the completion of Fall Semester.
Last day of Exams is December 16th

Old Standing,
Interesting idea of hoping Larry can schedule several games after Dec. 16. On the one hand, you don't want to go overboard and not give the team somewhat of a Christmas break but I'd love to see an extra game or two scheduled over the norm between Dec. 16 and Dec. 31 - especially if they can get a game against a difficult team. I'd like to see Barefield and Collette get a difficult game experience with their teammates going into Pac-12 play. I may be making more out of this than I should but it seems to make some sense on the surface.

Basically, they relaxed the rules. You can go workout with one team, go to some other camp, and return to school by late may.
Last year there was talk of scheduling a school like Westminster for one of the byes during conference play. I'd be good with that.
Looks from this year's schedule that we're looking at 8-10 games which would include the Diamond Head Classic. Would be back for the likes of Duke (19th).

Can't wait to see him come back and go for 1st team!

Or not. Riley is reporting the news was premature. They're talking but aren't close to a deal

Not a big surprise. I wish them well. They are good Utes.

Nope. Wright's father was complimentary of the U and the coaches. Said Isaiah was not asked to leave, but wanted a change of scenery.
Per Bill Riley Reyes has graduated and will be eligible immediately.
Both Wright and Reyes were granted their releases already.

Ok, if Collette is a walk on, as reported, then we are now one player short. That includes pvd.
That all depends on what they decide to do for the spring semester with Collette.
Ogbe's health will also be an issue. If he can't heal up he'll likely take a medical much like Olsen.

It's amazing how quickly the program has recovered. Five or six years ago, these guys would have been good "gets."
I wish both well. Reyes played big in a few spots this season, even if he is the all-time team leader in missed 2-footers.

If he is remembered for one thing it will be ripping down an offensive, pumping once, pumping twice, then bricking a gimme layup.
He probably gave Nate Althoff a run for his money in that regard (Here come the Althoff defenders...).
