GCU is the Boise of basketball right now. They are having a great run. It will end at some point. A very shortsighted pick up for the MW if they did. Gonzaga doesn't have football and that's a problem for the MW. Maybe or maybe not. They have incredibly deep pockets. In the age of NIL, my guess is ...

I wish Coop the best and will be pulling for him. And by all indications BA made the right call on the starting QB.

Thanks for sharing Spuds. And I think his take is solid. We did a great job of getting some folks to stay but I am not overly impressed by what we got from the portal. I hope a few of them pan out.

I haven't listened to Hans and Scotty for quite a while, since I don't live in the market anymore, but I thought Hans was always pretty fair to Utah State, and spoke highly about them. I would love to see another Olsen at Utah State, as Hans' uncles are from before my time. I like Scotty G a lot bu...

Scotty G predicted he would be the starter by the end of the year. That wouldn't surprise me.

We would be damn near done recruiting had we stayed in contact with Chris Cox, Terrence Hill, and Kase Wynott. Had we stayed in contact with Terrence and kase would we have had a good shot? Doesn’t solve our post problem. I personally liked both those players l Kase absolutely would have. Ouch, tha...

Well said. At this point there is no point in redshirting anyone unless they are asking for it.

It's just my opinion but I think that Coach really dropped the ball here. Josh is an elite senior guard winning sixth man of the year last year. He knows the MW and has proven, unlike some of these other recruits, that he can get it done in this league. Bringing in a flurry of guards not only pushe...

I like the signing and have been wondering who we would pick up. Not sure it will break great but I think there is upside. As for Blake and the QB room I think everyone agrees he went with Bonner too long in season 2. Other than that, I have no issues with the way he has managed the QB room. And I t...

Seems like a position we really don't need, except that he's a RS freshman and could be a bench guy now while he develops for the future. Again, unsure about this guy's legitimacy. https://twitter.com/heard_it_first0/status/1785354921979891826?t=BotjiUVGUmRxBg6LKI3Z9w&s=19 27.2% is elite? 🤔 Depends...

Loyalty is a two way street. I get why kids get yanked around by the process and I also get why they yank schools around by leaving. You cant have it both ways. If you have the right to counsel kids out and cancel scholarships it is hard to be upset when they decide to leave when they decide it is t...

Every decision being made about the future of the college sports is being driven by the rich who will simply get richer. The amount of money being unleashed on college sports will further the divide. That is not going to change and is not good news for USU.

I concur that he is a definite upgrade over Jackson. However, other than being very excited about hanging on to our core from last year, I am underwhelmed by almost every other move. I’m genuinely curious about why? I’ve been super excited about every portal addition. That is good news that you fee...

Holy damn this one hurts. I said before that Booth was the biggest loss by a country mile. Now watching Faison follow him hurts that much more. I honestly don't get what these guys are thinking? He was basically guaranteed a starting job at RB at a school that has had more RBs drafted in the NFL th...

Just a reminder to all the Blake Anderson Defenders. Once is Happenstance, Twice is coincidence, Three times is a pattern. You're right, it IS Blake Anderson. Blake Anderson BROUGHT IN players who were TALENTED enough to be HIGHLY sought after by schools much bigger than Utah State's NIL pay grade ...

It I was advising Rashul, I would tell him that this was a very poor decision. Yes, you might be making a few thousand more dollars at another location. That said, with Booth gone, you were going to be the bell cow, possibly paving the way for an NFL career. Now you venture into the unknown. Lots o...

I know hope I was wrong but I have been in the Hillstead camp and think he has great upside. I can imagine him competing for the real job at BYU this year.

gomretat

One thing I really hope Calhoun that doesn’t miss is that part of USU’s secret sauce seems to be finding overlooked local kids to be a part of the team. There just seems to be some aspect of having a local kid that while he may be a little less talented or undersized on a relative scale, they have ...

I'm surprised that Javon Jackson entered the portal and hasn't indicated that he'll be back yet. Is there any prevailing thought on if he's gone gone or just in the portal for now? Perhaps I'm getting greedy... :) I - for one - love Javon Jackson and thought that he was really turning into a solid ...

gomretat

I'm fairly certain that BA also has a "no return" policy once a player enters the portal. I get why he does that but I wonder if Coop leaving has him rethinking that with Hillstead. Can't make exceptions. Once you make an exception for one kid, another will expect the same treatment. I completely a...

If byu pulls off this Kevin Young hire that’s a great get for them. He was a finalist for the Nets job, is highly respected, and is considered to be on the fast track to an NBA head coaching job. Chris Burgess was very underwhelming. But Kevin Young is a different ballgame. I still dont get the lov...

My son played for Daniels at UVU. Good coach and good buy but I guess I was looking for a little bigger splash and pedigree. Getting the right assistants is a huge part of being a successful head coach at the D1 level and that is becoming increasingly critical with the transfer portal and NIL. More ...

gomretat

Disappointing for sure. I am in the camp that Hillstead had the best upside of any QB we have right now. It would have been surprising if one of them didnt move on after spring ball but I was hoping it would not be Hillstead. We definitely need to find someone for next year instead of Barnes IMO.

There is zero chance they can afford Madsen's buyout. Maybe had he not signed an extension after the season, but no way they can do it now. Scotty suggested Barrett Peery. If I were to guess, I'd guess he's the guy. Seems like the best of all the options I've heard. I know a donor there that could ...

With Madsen out. All their top canidates are guys we would not even pick up the phone for. Burgess is the best option and at this point of his career might be considered for openings at WAC or big sky schools.

Crazy.

If I were Burgess I would go to Kentucky with Pope

If it is purely about the money, I dont think there is any chance he stays - and never was a chance. If wants a good payday and a known situation with a guarantee of minutes, we should have a shot.

Scotty is a great ambassador for Aggie sports. I wish he was on with someone other than Hans.

The national championship comment actually makes me wonder if he will be a straight shooter. I get that he has to publicly recruit guys but he has no experience in this kind of conference and this team, without a few significant upgrades, does not compete for the MWC championship next year.

Add my name to the list that the info that 22 provides is one of the reasons I visit this board. I have been involved in enough job changes in my life that I am very clear that there are tons of moving parts and people (and their families) often change their minds.

Last time we hired a rival's head coach (CSU) it turned out pretty well. I once heard SM also say once he told BYU no thanks. If we hired their current coach, well, it might be something that is meant to be. I think BYU asked Stew if he would be willing to get a temple recommend in order to become ...

Pope has been sought after by P5 schools all but one year at BYU (last year). I have no idea what his current status is or what his motives are but if he wants money, NIL, and a P5 option he can have it.

gomretat

We offered him triple what he was paid at Montana State, so he came to Logan. Why are we surprised he would change schools when a school provides him triple what we're paying him? I'm not mad at a coach saying they want to build up a program. Those are words that are informed by their current situa...
