Just an observation.

I know, it is interesting that when Matt Mitchell's name first surfaced, people were automatically down on him because he originally signed with Cal State Fullerton. We then see some highlights of his performance on the AAU circuit where nobody plays defense so that everyone has great offensive stats and all of a sudden Mitchell is a major recruiting miss. He was 6 months removed from his best offer being Cal State Fullerton.
yah...don't disagree. I'm hopeful the kid does well. That said, the contexts between Caldwell and Mitchell are a bit different. Mitchell was a high school kid and committed early. Caldwell has already played one year at JC. Given how our P12 brethren are recruiting, sans Washington State, I wish we'd be doing better. LK admitted as such.
In any event, it's all academic now. My pitchfork won't come out, if at all, until after the on-the-court results. Go Utes!
It appears that way, but I followed what was happening with him a bit on twitter and most of the hype was coming from his AAU supporters and others in his camp. i don't know that he didn't have interest from other programs, but I wouldn't necessarily take what was hyped on twitter to be gospel.

More information from SL Trib about Caldwell. Apparently he got on Utah's radar in late July.

Just saw an interesting stat on Twitter regarding Dave Rice's stint at UNLV. With the transfer of Dwayne Morgan, he didn't have a single recruit stay with the program for all four years. This will be my new Larry transfer salve, "At least he isn't Dave Rice."
New player just appeared on the roster. Hes either getting a scholarship, he becomes the 5th walk on on the team, or one of the other walk ons got a scholarship

Free throw and 3-pt shooting %...ouch.

It sounds like he will be a walk on and the team will keep the extra scholarship in their back pocket. Could be useful for midyear transfers or 2018 prospects.
