You have to love Larry K talking about Tom Petty & Pearl Jam. Holding a fundraiser where they watch the Pearl Jam movie & donate the money to Huntsman Cancer.
He is a no BS person. Great guy to talk with if you ever get the chance.

Twice now in interviews Larry has brought up Kobe Caldwell, a guard with unimpressive JC stats who quietly signed in August after our long recruitment of Matt Mitchell ended with him going to San Diego State. I had assumed that Caldwell was just a scholarship filler who would be gone soon. That may still be the case but I'm a little intrigued to see where this goes. With Utah having a nice recruiting class coming in and still recruiting some players on this year's team are going to be playing for their job next year (probably a couple are playing for their scholarship).
If I got the story right they wanted the U to give them $100,000 to get Kuzma when we were recruiting him. ($50,000 for the official visit and $50,000 to get him to sign)
It was Kuz prep school that wanted it. The U told Kyle and the NCAA.
Kyle and his guardian ended up coming on an unofficial visit and committed. (The prep school was refusing to send a transcript, which was required for an official visit).
The prep school is still operating.

So the media has us finishing 7th in the conference this year. That's cute.
Runnin' Utes like the number 7

I'm stunned they have us 7th. I'd think lower than that. Connotes some respect for LK.

Sort of related. They’re testing the new scoreboard at the JMHC

Apparently the team has a secret match up with Saint Mary’s tomorrow night. I’m not sure how much info comes out of these things, but that’s one of the better out of conference games we have lined up for the season. Nice test. (I don’t except us to do well.)

Looking over the roster, I see one PG (Bibbins). I expect Barefield to play PG when Bibbins is on the bench.
For pure SG, we have Barefield, PVD, and Popoola.
A couple of 2/3 tweeners, or guys that could play in a 3-guard lineup: Bealer, Caldwell.
SF: Seeley
PF: Tillman, Rawson. I know Rawson is the projected starter here, but I think (hope?) that Tillman can get that job.
C: Collette, Johnson, Jokl. I also hope we can see Collette/Johnson on the floor at the same time.
My starting five: Bibbins, Barefield, Bealer (killer B's), Tillman, Collette.
Go big: Bibbins, Bealer, Tillman, Collette, Johnson.
Green light from outside: Bibbins, Barefield, Bealer, PVD, Rawson and .....? Not sure about Popoola/Caldwell/Seeley.
Hopefully, either Popoola or Caldwell is good enough to push PVD for minutes.

I think Caldwell will get a look at PG, but I believe you are right. When Bibbins isn't in, I would expect Barefield to take that role. I would throw pop into that group that can play 2/3. But I read some on here who feel like he is probably a year away.
I think Tillman and Seeley should be flipped on your depth chart.
My way too early attempt at a depth chart
1-Bibbins, Caldwell
2-Barefield, PVD
3-Bealer, Tillman
4-Rawson, Seeley
5-Collette, Johnson
With Pop being able to play 1-3 and Jokl being the emergency/garbage time/foul trouble big.

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.

Some of our non conf opponents this year:Well-coached team that runs some fun stuff. I don't think Larry Krystkowiak's got the guys this season, though. At least, not enough to compete atop the Pac-12. David Collette's the name to know up front.

Please! Please! Please! Can we just knock off the Ducks this year? Is that too much to ask?

It boggles the mind to think that this has happened. Who knows, but I sure hope they took ample time to explain repeatedly to these kids, "Look, if you commit a crime here you will be in serious, serious trouble that we may not be able to help you with." There is a very real chance those guys could get locked up for 3 years, or even some portion of time. It is even probable that they won't be allowed to leave the country until this is resolved.
