Big blow for the Runnin’ Utes.

The gymnastics team had a fantastic score in their meet against UCLA tonight. They topped 198 by going 198.20 and beating the Bruins. They are only one of three teams to top the 198 mark this year.

They also had the highest team beam score of any team this year. They are fun to watch.

Condon visited Utah last week but
Smith continues to struggle on the recruiting trail

I’m sure we’ll get told this has to do with NIL or something.

Right here:

Stanford's hot start was too much to overcome:

Both signing periods are finished and the Utes ended up with Top 20 class. Give it a read:

Big start to our three game homestand. Stanford has underachieved, again, but is capable of stealing one from us. An absolute must win for us to remain in NCAA bubble talk.

We won the first game 71-66 behind 20 points from Stefanovic and 18 from BC.

Some interesting stats were we shot 58% from 2 and 43% from 3 while they shot 42% and 32%, The game should not have been close given those disparities except we had 16 TOs to their 6 and were minus 8 in off. rebounds. This led to Stanford having 26 more field goal attempts than us.

It's unlikely we'll shoot that well again so we need to take care of the ball and rebound.

I’m pretty floored by this. The overwhelming thought was either Utah or Georgia.

I was hoping to drop one for Walker Lyons today and then pop all of these out, but with that being said, I had some former players break down recruit highlights over video this year. Stanley Raas still needs to be uploaded, but I’m having trouble with his video file. I’ll also possibly add a couple PWOs.

Please watch and subscribe to the channel and we’ll focus on videos more going forward.

The Utes are waiting on anyone else today, so between the two signing days, here’s your 2023 class:

Should we be worried?

Conference play is half over. Here are my mid-term grades.

Brandon Carlson - A. Playing at an all-conf. level.
Marco Anthony - A. Doing everything we want him to do.
Rollie Worster - B+. Would be higher but his shooting percentage is poor.
Gabe Madson - B. Above average defender. Our best outside threat which creates space for BC. Shot selection needs to improve.
Ben Carlosn - B-. Good rebounder. Gives us added toughness. Limited offensively.
Lazar Stefanovic - B. Good A/T ratio. Not a good shooter and dribbles excessively so O tends to stagnate when he's in IMO.
Will Exacte - B. Has some nice offensive skills. Needs to cut down on TO's, Has a bright future.
Keba Keita - B. Active and physical. Raw and needs to improve his 1-1 defense. Has a bright future.
Bostyn Holt - B- . Above average athlete, which we need. But he looks unsure of himself on offense.
Luka Tarlac - C. Has struggled with some injuries and hasn't carved out a role yet. Still, an intriguing player for the future.
Mike Saunders Jr. - D. Was expected to be a key player. Hasn't turned out that way. Don't expect his role to change.

Coaching staff - A. Team has outperformed expectations. Roster was upgraded (Carlson, Exacte, Keita) and returning guys took steps forward (BC, Madson, Worster). Toughest part of the schedule is coming up.

Simmons was visiting Utah this weekend and made his commitment:

The belief is that he’ll sign an LOI tomorrow, but as of 7PM tonight, I’ve been told Utah hadn’t heard anything. I’m still checking when I can. I honestly don't know what way to call this one right now.

Say what you will about the event, but it’s a nice showcase for Tyler…

Can Utah close on TE Walker Lyons?

I’m going to be putting out some stuff that will still make that day fun, but ultimately there’s one player Utah will be waiting on: Walker Lyons.

Right now not even his high school staff knows what he’s doing. I’m hoping to have a better idea either tonight or tomorrow.

WR JeyQuan Smith was another that was a possibility, but he’s wanting to go somewhere with track, which eliminates Utah.

She is the best player wearing a Utah uniform in any sport this year. What a game!

Ski to Covey 2 Utes!!!
