What're the latest rumors around Jayce? I feel like I've seen some rumors that his transferring away is all but done. Otherwise, I hear that no one really knows aside from the fact that the coaches...
Yes and no, right? Isn't the problem, ironically, more about our wins than our losses? What I've heard suggested is that we're beating TOO crappy of crappy teams. Everyone plays pushovers, but...
Utah fans are what I assume you mean by "people," right? I'm not sure Utah basketball's appeal spreads much beyond the Beehive State. Majerus's did as a cult of personality, but that left with him to...
It's interesting to see the numbers. I remember these streaks generally but haven't stared them in the eyes.
It's true, we've not put many impressive streaks together lately. I personally feel...
It is interesting to think about where the LK-era program is heading. It's both full of promise and seemingly spinning its wheels. It's an odd combo of sentiments to feel. It's kind of how you feel...

It's weird. I'm not sure what it will take for Utah to get some measure of respect nationally. I understood it in the MWC, but you'd think by now it would make less and less sense to keep us out of a...
I'll be honest, I would have thought that LK learned this lesson earlier in his Utah tenure. I'm thinking off the top of my head that our first NIT appearance could have been more with a better...
I was reading through the Chris Hill retirement thread and saw a couple similar comments that got me thinking. I can't remember who said what, but the gist was that Coach Krystkowiak may eventually...
I think of it in five-year cycles, or two cycles in a decade if you prefer.
1 year in five: no NIT/NCAA tourney; it's a drastic rebuild
1 year in five: NIT
3 years in five: NCAA tourney
Of those...
Yeah, this is more or less how I feel. Of course I'd love to see it, but it's hard for me to imagine that we have that kind of a run in us. I think we can sweep this home stand. I expect us to beat...
I wouldn't go that far. If he continues on the trajectory that he's on, he'd be more of a "very-very-nice-to-land-but-long-shot" to me. If he's a national recruit squarely on the radar of the blue...
Oh, I know. I'm totally with you on that. I have my season tickets and plan to catch most of the games unless they end up being terrible (ain't nobody got time for that!). Still, it's been weird to...
Yes. This.
I've been hoping that they'd do this from the beginning. We always have four preseason games I would happily put on the alter in order to have a true PAC-12 round robin. Heck, I woulnd't even mind...
This is how I can see it going. Certainly how I hope it goes.
Honestly, once Krystkowiak took his team to the Sweet 16, I thought we had gotten over the Giac/Boylen hump. That part was probably...
I'm stoked to have him back on the team soon. And...that video was kinda, sorta awkward. He's clearly in deep-mission form (as he should be — good for him!). Hope he kicks butt in Chile these last...
This is so true. My Utah/BYU awareness happened around '82. I was about 7, and I didn't really know much more than that I was a Ute fan and in my suburban Salt Lake elementary school there were fans...

Following Ute hoops recruiting these days is like watching Revenge of the Nerds but from the douchey jock's perspective. It seems like we've got all of the tried-and-true goods to attract the...
It's amazing to see the weird swing of momentum this coaching staff has had. It started rough (as we expected it would) but by the time LK had a Sweet 16 with D. Wright and hauled in an impressive...
Yes, exactly. If we had a team full of Tuckers, Loveridges, and Bachinskys, I think we could do some good things. All you need is the occasional Delon, and (to quote Austin Collie), "the magic...
I'm afraid you're serious. Why would the PAC ever do that? Why arm those guys with any more than they already have?
It's a mixed bag, for sure. Like you mention, we've gotten some wins in recruiting. It's not all bad news. But there are just enough head scratchers (both the busts and the whiffs) that you start to...
