Dream on about those McDonald's All-Americans. McEwan would have made a huge difference, and he was a four star! I still haven't gotten a satisfactory explanation from any of you why we didn't even offer him.

Frank was always a dream. The others were realistic. Hanno was a friend/mentor of one. One was the little brother of a former Ute. One ended up at a comparable program.
The think the McEwan explanation that you want or don't want to hear is that we just missed on him. It happens. Everyone else missed too; that's how he ended up in Logan.
Just saw this short clip of Branden Carlson, our 2017/2019 commit. Looks quite agile. I'm quite curious who, if any, is coming in for 2017.

A nice, in depth breakdown on Sueing. According to this, its down to us, Vanderbilt, and Cal.
I have to give a tip of the hat to Utebuntu........just about everything I share here is from his twitter feed. The guy is a must follow for hoops recruiting.
These articles are a great idea to get recruits feeling like they're wanted and associating good feelings with a school. Everyone is keen on a feature story celebrating their accomplishments. Shouldn't MrUtahSports, JazzyUte or Pat be doing these kinds of write ups on this kid and other Ute targets.
I would never do a story on a recruit. It's hard to take seriously anything they have to say, their parents even moreso and the most honest person -- the kid's coach -- ain't gonna be forthright with a reporter. He'll save his honestly for the coaches recruiting his player. Additionally, you can never get the other side (the college coach) to comment on him.
Sueing would be a very interesting pickup for Utah. No doubt there are legacy players within the program whose .02 I would be interested to hear. Need a refresher course?

Donnie Tillman commits! Can anyone fill me in on this kid?
I should have kept scrolling.

Beat Cal for Tillman. I like that!
Tillman is a huge get for the team. I can't wait to see him next year.
I may be in the minority -- more excited about basketball commitments/signing. We need another big commit for 2017, at least.
:)
I'm with you, Justa. Of all the recruits today, it's the hoop recruit that has me the most excited.
I agree that basketball is more important. But is this also national letter of intent day in basketball?
Opens April 12th this year. Closes May 17th.

So today we care more about football, though Tillman was a nice surprise.
Nice job by the coaching staff. By my calculations, we still have two slots to fill for next year barring any surprises.
