Utah-UNLV II

[SeattleUte]

So he should have 2 recruiting classes of his already in the program, correct?

2 years in college basketball is similar to 4 in college football. What does he have to show for it?

Something I've noticed about BYU fans. They are incapable of seeing anything other than a snapshot in time. What is today is as it always will be, and they are generally ignorant of history. Hence, for example, BYU fans have been assuming that BYU is the 2010 MWC champion. All of a sudden--whoops!--New Mexico is in a tie with BYU and ranked higher.

Lest you forget, UTAH was the best MWC team last year. It won the most MWC games; tied for first then won the tournament and was seeded fifth. It also has had two years of recruiting (2009 and 2010) that exceed BYU and in the aggregate suprass any team in the conference except arguably New Mexico. BYU has signed two legitimate DI players, the rest (according to reports) are big sky material. It's the same old story, a couple of LDS standouts and LDS filler.

Is UCLA going to fire Howland? It's not about to based on one year. Nor are savvy Ute fans worried about their basketball program. This year Utah has good young talent, not Kentucky good, but the kind of talent that stands out in time. And a strong 2010 class is in the can.

Fixed. I don't know how to possibly fix the rest of your post.

Apparentlty there aren't that many savvy Ute fans, at least not at UF.N, which has been in meltdown mode after every loss this season.

A dropoff this year was expected but not as precipitous as it has been.

I thought somewhere around .500 was entirely possible coming in. They can still get to 15 wins by beating Air Force tomorrow night, Wyoming on Saturday, and by getting one win in the conference tournament. Heck, they might even beat BYU at home.

All very possible scenarios, yes. In fact getting to 15 I'd put as probable.
