    New offer. Brock Cunningham, a 6'7" 3/4 player. Not physical at this stage, but seems to be skilled. Has offers from OU, Ok State, Missouri, among others.

    We lost Erik Stevenson, a 2* SG, to Wichita State.

    according to Ubuntu, he committed to WSU immediately after leaving our camp. Ubuntu prayed to the basketball gods on twitter, asking what we have done to offend them and how we can repent.

    I didn't realize he was a 2 star kid. I think SoCalPat must be chasing them off.

    This all started happening when we restored Utefans.net. I blame LA Ute.

    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 third recruiting class of Chapman, Kuzma, I. Wright, and Poeltl it seemed like we were on our way to the Promised Land. And then, almost like the swing of a pendulum, it feels like little has gone right since then.

    Oddly, it seems like about the time that the new practice facility was completed (that we all expected to be our recruiting ace up the sleeve) momentum has totally stalled. I hate to be one of those Chicken Little fans, because there's a lot to still be stoked about. But I'll admit, the "easy sledding" I was expecting as a new P5 with a deep history, a good coach, and passionate fanbase hasn't been so easy.

    I'm hoping these are just a couple bumpy years we'll look back on and laugh about, not the beginning of another Ute hoops wasteland that we endured before LK.

    Outsider vantage point: Given Utah's recent annual player-turnover exercise, I'm wondering if the coaches have lost some credibility in the recruiting circle.

    Before anyone reacts to my above-comment, not saying we are better or worse than our competition regarding player-turnover, nor am I implying the recent recruits aren't good. Just speculating. Even LK has stated that he, and the coaching staff I assume, needs to do a much better job. In the end, I don't pay much attention to drama. I usually try to let the on-the-court outcome/result dictate my reaction.

    Vis-a-vis LK's remuneration, other P12 BB programs, and other similar profiled basketball programs, if LK can't sustain some level of success, then he should eventually go. Although I try not to over-value Utah's basketball prowess or history, I think we should maintain certain level of consistency regarding our competitiveness. We are ok for now. Let's see how it plays out.

    Is it at all possible that he left the camp without a commitable offer?

    Utah recruited Erik hard. Someone they really liked in 2018. Commits to Wichita state the day after leaving Utah's Elite Camp. Ouch.

    We made the top 6 for F/C Riley Battin. In what might be the most unique top 6 we have ever made, we are in there with Davidson, Clemson, Ohio State, Vanderbilt and Colorado. He has visited unofficially and will come here on an official visit in September. Our coaches have been on him for a long time. I dont have any idea what our chances are, but our fan base came out loud and proud on his tweet and he seemed to like that. I think he would be great in our system.

    We also made the top 5 for Timmy Allen, along with UCLA, SDSU, Iowa St, and Texas Tech. He is a four star, fringe top 100 prospect. His 247 crystal ball is 50/50 UCLA/ASU but both predictions are more than a year old so.........essentially meaningless.

    We are frequently on the list, just not usually the final choice.
