    2018 Basketball Recruiting Thread

    I guess we don't have one of these yet.

    A name you may recognize: Cam Krystkoviak.

    Maybe this is where the Coach Tinkle/Tres Tinkle karma swings back in our direction? I would guess that if he's a high-major talent that he's ours to lose. If he's a mid-major talent, he's Montana's to lose. I have zero basis of fact for that opinion, but let's just start from there and see what happens. Haha.

    2018 Recruiting Thread

    This is what Krysko has to deal with as he tries to recruit non-turds, while keeping the program clean:



    (Yes, I know Geno Auriemma is a women's coach, but the principle is the same.)

    He could be a Jr. Jazz coach for all I care. That is the message a coach needs to send to players.

    According to the Twitter world, Larry has an in home visit with 2018 forward Warren Washington from California. He is a bruiser at 6'9 and 190 (not a typo, just sarcasm). Has offers from sdsu, cal, and Boise. Not sure if those are offers or Offers but we will see.

    It's interesting how the time tables differ for football and basketball. I'm pretty sure that coaches can have no in-person contact with a prospect out side of unofficial visits to the campus and visits to the high school until after the prospects senior season begins.

    Utebuntu tweeted out a picture of Larry and Warren this morning. To me, he is the type of guy I want on this team. He isn't the kind of recruit that the bigger schools are poaching and hes the kind of guy who will be here all four years and by the last couple years could be a really nice player (insert your favorite tired, worn out transfer joke here).

    Hes got an interesting highlight video. I have never claimed to be a master evaluator, but the competition here seems subpar. Id be interested to see him (And I cant believe im going to say this......) in an AAU setting. He does show good passing ability, as well as some solid handles and post moves, but i would like to see it against better competition.

    He seems decent. Not much lift and not the most fluid athlete.

    Just going by the eyeball test, he's definitely got length, and he appears to be physically immature, which is what you'd normally expect from a high school kid who is 6-10 and not getting Valentine's Day cards from Calipari.

    You're right, it's difficult to gage what he brings based on the competition on the video, but watching Poeltl dismantle the freshman Chimezie Metu last year, I'll take upside, some maturation time and hard work from a kid with that kind of undeveloped potential. This kid reminds me of Metu, from 2015-2016. (I wonder what Metu's HS video looked like.)

    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 happens."

    Battin trimmed his list to four and we made the cut! He will be visiting Sep 15 with his final visit being Vanderbilt in October.

    He must have seen our performance against them in the NIT and said: "I should be able to get some minutes there."
    “It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.”

    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.

    Exactly. Have no idea how these news players/commits will turn-out...hopeful very well. That said, men's basketball team is about the only Utes program that can't seem to get much traction in recruiting. We welcome all 2* and JC transfers. UofA and UCA -- I think just two players from either of those programs would have more stars than all of our starters combined -- ok, a bit of hyperbole here, but not by much.

    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.

    WARNING: Potential hot take coming........

    If Lavar Ball called Larry up and said that LaMelo was interested in switching to the Utes (a laughable scenario, I know. Just work with me here.), I think Larry should bust up laughing as hangs up and blocks the number.

    If the staff is accepting a commitment from him in the fall signing period, they think they've got something no one else can see. He's clearly athletic and committed to defense. This could be a glue guy or a really nice role player.

    Per our good buddy espn700 bill, Riley Battin and Timmy Allen will be visiting this week. Would love to land both.

    The Utah men's basketball team has announced that Devante Doutrive has joined the Runnin' Ute program. He plans to redshirt for the 2017-18 year and then intends to play for the Utes in 2018-19.

    Doutrive is a 6-5, 190-pound shooting guard out of Woodland Hills, Calif. He played his prep basketball at Birmingham High School, out of Lake Balboa, Calif., where he averaged 22.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game and helped lead his high school squad to a state championship title this past season.

    "We are very excited to welcome Davante to our basketball program," said head coach Larry Krystkowiak. "He is very athletic and has a great knack for putting points on the board. He is also a tremendous passer and will fit into our system, quite well. He will be a great addition to the team and we look forward to working with him when fall workouts begin."

    A two-time all-conference selection, Doutrive also managed to record 5.6 assists and 2.7 steals per game during his senior campaign and then went on to earn John R. Wooden/High School Player of the Year accolades in the CIF Los Angeles City Section. As a junior, Doutrive averaged 23.6 points, 9.3 rebounds 2.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game.

    Doutrive, who played AAU basketball for Pro Skills Sports Academy and Laurian Watkins, has been ranked a four-star recruit by ESPN.

    The Utes open the 2017-18 season with its annual Night with the Runnin' Utes, Tuesday, Oct. 17, at the Huntsman Center. Utah will play an exhibition contest hosting Montana Tech on Wednesday, Nov. 1, before opening the regular-season at home against Prairie View A&M on Friday, Nov. 10.

    I was totally prepared for this coming season to completely suck but maybe it wont. An AAU coach told my brother that the transfer from Long Beach State is really talented and is going to really improve that position. He expects the team to be pretty good.

    A former player has been going to practice and told my partner that he thinks the teams looks good too. He said the chemistry is much, much better than last year and that we outsiders don't really know how bad it was last year. The team is having fun and like each other. Larry seems to be enjoying himself too.

    FWIW.
