Our backcourt/wing for the next couple of years is starting to come together. Now, if we can get Battin, plus with Carlson's 2019 return, then we'll be alright for the PF role.

I gotta say I agree with UteDaddy on this one.
I hope these latest signs of progress are helping Seattle Ute to feel better.

“True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

my first thought on the number of new hoops gets after a long dry spell is that Krysko has bounced back from his illness last year and his health has improved?
I don't know if there's any truth to that, but ...
Riley Battin will be announcing his commitment at noon today. He spent the weekend on an official visit to Utah.
He's a Ute!

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.

Not sure we're done. I'm confident that if the right guy wants in we'll take him. I'd like to see another big.
I'm busy refreshing the site waiting for complaints from SoCal Pat.
But, seriously, seems like possibly the best recruiting year ever (or at least since the Majerus heydays). It all started with K's decision to boot Daniels and double down on the culture. Good for him.
You sell him short, you slanderous SOB.

What Utah MBB recruiting has done the last four months is nothing short of remarkable. Really can't be a cynic about their recruiting chops.
I am very excited for basketball on the hill. It will be fun to watch these young guys grow and improve. These guys come in with higher ratings than the last great class of Loveridge, Tucker and Taylor and I hope that LK and staff can get them to their ceilings.
Pure speculation on my part but I was pretty astounded last year to learn that Larry had a battle with cancer and was still coaching. Even low dose chemo zaps a ton of energy of people I know and so I was struggling to get how he was keeping up with the rigors of coaching.
No doubt the culture wasn't there, along with the heavy hitting recruiting. But it appears it is back like never before... and truthfully how do you not succeed recruiting when you've gone from one of the worst teams in the nation to Kuzma, Poeltl and Wright?
With nothing else to base it on, I'm blaming it on the cancer.

How is "Battin" pronounced?
What an amazing few weeks of recruiting. Excitement...rising.
We all love SCP!
I wasn't referring to anyone specifically, just the rumblings you see from time to time. I remember listening to a Utezone podcast where Swinney said that Larry's seat would be warm if things didn't improve on the recruiting front. That's where my comment came from.

Interestingly, based on our current roster and current commits, we are actually already over-committed for the 2019-2020 season (we're currently at 13 scholarships for each of the next two seasons, but for 2019-2020 we only have 2 guys leaving, but have 3 coming in, Jones, Brenchley, and Carlson).
My comment below is only in response to you because you brought his name up, not agreeing or disagreeing with anything that you say.....
Swinney does a great job with football breakdowns and recruiting news. The guy has worked hard and does a solid job. He has as much inside info into the Runnin' Utes as any of us here and honestly, he probably has less.
