You can play 2 combined "exhibition" contests, be it a "secret scrimmage" vs a D1 team, or a public exhibition game like we have next Thursday vs College of Idaho. Typically, we do one of each.

Utah plays St Mary's this Saturday. Should be noted that St Mary's beat Stanford "easily", per Goodman. Should be a good test for our young group, to go against a well coached, disciplined team like...
I have the same thoughts re: his ability to play PG. I think that's more of a recruiting pitch than anything else. IMO Gach is a versatile, long wing who will be able to play 1-3 (mainly 2-3). Agree...
Yes, I'm pretty much betting on Altman's coaching ability for putting them in the top 4 of the conference. You're right, they lose everyone except for Pritchard (who's a good, not great player). But...
ASU is ranked too high. Two teams I would keep an eye on are Stanford and OSU. Reid Travis might be the best player in the conference next year, and Stanford adds a very good recruiting class...
USC is absolutely stacked and is a clear #2 in the conference next year. Will likely be pre-season top-10. They return their entire team from last year, which includes some very good players...
LOL at this thread. "Poeltl has been a huge embarrassment", and "Poeltl could have been a special player."
Poeltl was Pac-12 POY, consensus AA, and top-10 pick. How is that not special? What else...
In which case we'd still get the 4 seed.
If we win the next two and get to the finals in Vegas (which would include wins over Cal, Oregon and possibly Oreson St), our resume would look like:
22 (or 23)-11, with 5-7 top-100 wins (Oregon,...
Where is this zealous, masochistic devotion to system, defense and fundamentals play into the 1-2 WTF losses Whit has every year, as well as the annual November fade?
Has Whitt finished top-2 in the conference? Larry's done it twice. A sweet 16 is >>> anything Whit has done since being in the Pac-12. And you can't compare being ranked in football the same as being...
I agree, I think expectations should be higher for basketball than football in this conference. And Larry has proven that by accomplishing more than Whitt has in the Pac-12.
Utah basketball has...
Each of the last two years we've finished 2nd in the conference, and this year we'll finish 4th or 5th. And I fully expect us to be top-4 next year. You talk as though we're barely keeping our head...
If we go 13-5, win one (as the 4 seed vs Cal/USC) in Vegas and DON'T get in, I'll eat my hat.
This is a tough match up for us for two reasons:
1) Cal is one of few teams in the conference that plays two true "bigs". With Rabb at the 4 and Kingsley/Rooks at the 5, those are some big,...
I quickly went through and compiled stats from some of the 2016 recruits we either a) missed on, or b) recruited but never ended up offering.

PPG

Washington's a bit of a scary team, IMO. They are very poorly coached, but are MUCH more talented than their record. Fultz is a top-3 pick in the draft, but guys like Crisp, Thybulle and Dickerson...
Dime broke his finger, tried to play through it, but determined it too painful. He'll be out another 3-4 weeks from now. It's a big loss for the Huskies....
No, he actually tore his Achilles in the off-season (prior to the 2015-16 season). I think he missed just a couple games after hurting his knee(?) against us in Jan of 2015.
I'm not sure if this site is that accurate, but it's kind of fun to play around with: http://www.rpiforecast.com/. If it is close to being accurate, you'll see we have our work cut out for us as far...
4 assists, 18 TO's and 3-20 from deep. I have no idea how we kept it as close as we did. Thought our guys battled, played really hard. I agree 100%, the addition of Barefield (true PG and another...
Honestly I'm pretty surprised the line opened at just -1 for Butler (currently at -2). I was very impressed with what I saw from Butler the other night. They remind me of a Wichita St... not a ton of...
Exactly, which is why I don't understand this schedule. Pac-12 teams did such a good job gaming the system last year, I thought we had figured it out. I just don't get why we would handicap ourselves...
Only 10 D1 games?? WTF?
Also, what happened to Larry saying there would be two in-state opponents every year? I fully expected Weber to be on the schedule.
At the end of the day the only...
Guess I should've clarified "scholarship" players. And why I only count 5 this year (would be 6 if you included Montgomery).
