I think there is more than meets the eye here. Most of those offers are old; some even a year and a half. All of the crystal ball picks are more than a year old. I just dont see why our staff would get involved if there was no shot at this point in the game. I cant think of a single time in Larry K's tenure that he has thrown an offer for the heck of it this late. Im not predicting he will pick us by any means, but I think this is one to keep an eye on.

I wonder if the coaches ever consult a skills coach about how to develop a player like Dowdell. I completely agree with Scratch other than I think Dowdell is big enough but ball-handling would be an issue. I really haven't seen him play enough to know if he's more than a catch and shoot player as well at a high D1 level. Hence the ball-handling question. I would think both could be worked on. His stroke is just so beautiful. I know he's a poor defensive player as well but that doesn't seem to be something our Utes are evaluating well anyway. I do think he shows something that could translate into better defensive play - he's a competitive sucker.
I don't know - like the Brighton player we took (I forget his name), it might be worth the scholarship and then let him move on if he's not going to get the minutes. I think that player ended up at Dixie State.

Utes have offered a JUCO kid in the last few days. Looks like more transfers on the horizon.

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.

Cool article on a Native American player that we are pursuing.
A John Dehlin-esque hat tip to Utebuntu on twitter for sending this out.

We are in the top 4 for juco guard tajzmel sherman. He averaged 26/5/5 with 1.5 steals on 49/39/88 shooting splits this year. Our competition is west Virginia, Texas tech, and smu

He was a huge recruit for us. Will be a difference maker right out of the gate.

Tajzmel Sherman is on campus at the moment on a visit, per Bill.

I'm going to go with, a fair amount.

For anyone with a 247 subscription. I have no idea what is inside of this. Sounds like Texas Tech may not be under consideration anymore, based on Brett's tweets.
Curious if Pat can shed any light on how highly regarded his JUCO team/league is.
We've been reported as having contacted a couple of grad transfer PGs; Max Hazzard (hat tip: DrumNFeather) from UC Irvine and Brandon Boyd from Idaho State.
I don't think we will seriously pursue either, but something to keep an eye on as things play out. I think and hope that the staff has learned from the 2016 disaster.
Also of note: SMU just got a commitment from a 6'4 juco guard, which may take them out of the Tajzmel Sherman sweepstakes.
Two more articles on Rylan Jones.....then I'll leave it alone and let his performance next season speak for itself.....whether good or bad.
