Could The Utes Possibly Have A Basketball Program Again?

I really enjoy watching this team fight - they are under matched against most teams in talent, but seem to really play together and work within their skill set and system Larry has set up. Most of all, I like their composure considering their inexperience. Hopefully they find an outside threat to start winning some of these close ones.

Any details on the recruits for next year?

Even before I made this thread, I knew some assclowns would come in and take their usual potshots. The thread was built more in the spirit of Ute fans discussing the fact that the program is finally trending in the right direction once again. I figured the village idiot wouldn't be able to help himself, and once again Conan didn't let me down.

Little bro so sensitive. Thanks for not letting me down.

I thought Ty's kid went somewhere in Cali, like Long Beach State or something?

Other end of the state. UC Davis, right outside of Sacramento. I don't know what happened there. He's probably the worst prospect of the bunch , but he still would be a great backup point guard at any of the schools in Utah. He did pick UC Davis over the U of U once already though.

Yeah, I was just trying to figure out why. Because if the answer is that he couldn't hang with the talent at UC Davis, that's probably not a great sign. Though, I don't think that's it. He's a good player.

Speaking of recruiting, how can guy like this:

Lead the country in scoring at 40 pts/game and not have a scholly offer?

If I was a college coach and you put 40/game on your church ball team, I would offer you a scholarship. Average ballers do not drop 40/game on anybody.

I dropped 31 points in Intramural's once.

Head Basketball coach offered me a scholarship, which I gladly took.

I am guessing he wanted to return home, but you'd think Utah, Weber, Utah State, etc. would have looked at him as well. I would assume he is at SLCC to stay.

Edit: Left because the team wasn't winning and had a complacent attitude toward losing. Also sounds like he transferred to a JC so he could play right away rather than sitting out a year - then after one year he could transfer and start the recruiting process all over again. Who is coaching this kid on his decisions? (I kid, I kid) Should have gone to Utah in the first place.

Haha, was thinking everyone should have a mixtape of them doing their job to include with a resume/application. Maybe Prodigy could make one of me at work on the computer, making copies, crumbling up paper, giving a client a handshake sealing the deal, etc. ...put it to DMX or something.

Prodigy is working on one now.

It's probly worth mentioning that it was B League Intramurals and the basketball coach was also the Men's Golf Coach...

We'll learn a lot today. Utes vs. USC in about 3.5 hours.... I'm genuinely excited. I think the Utes are going to get their first conference win!

Am going to miss it. Anyone know where I can watch it on delay or at least extensive highlights online?
