Maybe I have shared this on the board before, but when I was a student, there was a guy running for student government who got a lot of attention because he wanted to build a parking lot under President's circle..........yeah, most people gave that one a hard pass.....
What could possibly go wrong? It would only cost a few hundred million...
No, in fact, this guy was probably the most sincere candidate I saw in my time up there. He seemed to genuinely want to make things better for students, he just wasn't all that bright. There was a spoof campaign that same year, it was the "Ninja Party" for people who either didn't care or were annoyed by all the posters. Ninja got my vote.
I actually felt bad for Mr Underground Parking Garage. I went to every single debate and no matter what else he said, the other candidates always jabbed him about that. He then backtracked and said he wanted to do a feasibility study for that.

The opening of the new practice facility will be live streamed at 11:30 MT today: http://pac-12.com/live/university-utah
sneak preview: https://twitter.com/utahathletics/st...21280367357952
Just watched the grand opening ceremony.
Great remarks from everyone.
Larry mentioned that the one thing he truly remembers from Chris Hill when he was hired was Chris' insistence that he had to restore the program to the top. He said that was Chris one goal before he retires at some point.
Jon Huntsman was his usual self. Downplayed his role and importance. He truly is an amazing person.
Lynne Roberts passes the press conference eye test. Well spoken and engaging. She's a good counterpart to Larry.
Brandon Taylor spoke. Did a great job. Said his only fear with this new facility is they don't have to share a court anymore so Larry can have them practice whenever
All around a great little production.

Do you suppose Vegas Ute is happy now? maybe
Mr. Crimson? highly unlikely.
I couldn't go because of a funeral I needed to attend so my son and daughter represented me. Here's a shot from this morning:

Terrific photos, all. Now, all we need is more valued recruits.
The place really has the 'wow' factor they all talked about.
Most of the players were there: Ogbe looks bigger-- almost as big as Reyes. Bonam looks thinner than in some photos. Brekkot did not look much bigger--stronger, but hard to tell with him as he is very "reserved". Kuzma looker bigger--filled out. Jakob hard to tell as he was surrounded by reporters.
They just moved in today & practice starts tomorrow.
hard to believe a recruit would go elsewhere after seeing this place.

From what little I've heard it was. He was listed at 190 coming out of HS (he's listed at 6'4") and was listed at 215 on Utah's roster.
Guessing he may have gotten even higher than the 215.
Utah's other guards are all 6'5 or 6'6" around 190.
I would also guess his weight training here is far superior to JC (the last I heard out dietitians and strength guys are doing some high tech stuff)

ESPN's Eamonn Brennan: Looking ahead: After Utah's rebirth, Larry Krystkowiak has more to replace than ever
His summation:
...which is is the same optimistic hope many of us harbor, including me.The best reason to be optimistic in all of this is, of course, Krystkowiak himself. Five seasons ago, he inherited a program transitioning to Pac-12 from the Mountain West, where it had, the previous season, finished 13-18 overall and 6-10 in league play. His first season on the job was that six-win disaster, in large part because his hollowed-out roster's best player (shouts to Jiggy Watkins) had to be kicked off the team three weeks into January. A few seasons later, Utah is not only relevant but led by a coach whose team-building chops can be trusted implicitly. He'll figure things out.
The need to compensate for losses such as Wright and Poeltl in back-to-back seasons is as good a sign as any of how far Utah has come. But if a step back felt plausible a year ago, it feels all but guaranteed now.
