I don't know much about the U and Popoola as he returned to Vegas his junior year so I don't even know how much the kid was on the U radar. But wrt Yoeli there was clearly something about him that Krysto did not want a part of.

      Does he really? Utah's roster turnover rate hasn't changed since his initial house cleaning, which makes me wonder if he is not the talent scout he has the reputation of being or if he doesn't develop his players well enough.

        Just a quick look at ESPN and Utah's offers the last couple of years since he has tried to transition from JC focused to 4 year guys shows they've been making a lot of offers to very highly rated 4 and 5 star players and not getting any of them. I think he sees his own program being a lot higher profile than the kids he's going after do. He's been swinging for the fences and then having to go back for no name guys when those don't pan out. Maybe it will still work out great for them, who knows. I don't buy the safety garbage for dropping their game with us for this season. He knew we'd be up and they'd be down.

          It was a really weird (and frustrating) recruiting round for Utah fans. Seemed like Larry wanted to cash in on his Sweet 16 appearance with some really highly ranked recruits. Utah came in second to at least three of them. Then it seemed like a scramble to find guys to fill in those spots. People still seem to like this group, but I'm in a wait and see mode. Will be interesting to see if Larry changes his strategy this round or if he takes those second places as a vote of confidence.

            He wanted no part of this:

                If you look at who else Utah was trying to get, Childs just wasn't rated as high as all the guys Utah swung for the fences for, which left the door open for him to go to BYU. Maybe K didn't like him, but it would seem to me that it was more that they didn't think they'd have a place for him.

                  I am typically fine with some transfers out of the program...but this off season was pretty wild and just too much.

                  He picked up a couple of transfers this year and both of them have the potential to be important pieces for the team. Barefield and Collette. Krystko expects a lot out of them and I am not quite sure what to expect. It will be interesting to see. He has a foreign player in Jokl, two big returnees, two higher profile transfers, a 4 star recruit center and then pieces around him. If he can pull it off this year with a top 6 finish in the PAC-12 and 20+ wins...then I am extremely impressed with how he got everyone to gel together. Curious to see if he can pull it off.

                          BYU has another commitment. Kolby Lee from Idaho. He's big at 6-9, 260. Mission first guy who had offers from DePaul, Utah State, Boise State, UC Davis, Portland, American, Richmond, Kent State and Weber State.

                            Good Frank Jackson article.



                            I admit it I'm gonna try to catch some Duke games to see Frank in action. Hope he does well.
