Shocking

I should point out that Worster and Marco Anthony combined from 3 44/143 30.8% and on FTs 97/142 68.3%

What do Ute fans think of becoming Aggies? I know I don't like Aggies becoming Utes.

It’ll be interesting to see how much court time he and Rollie get. Certainly less than they would had they remained Aggies.

Well, if they ever play us, we know the game plan. Pack the middle and let them brick 3s.

Ute fans have very little experience with their basketball players becoming Aggies. It’s largely a one-way street.

Not surprising but of those players not named Queta, the three USU players I most wanted NOT to follow Smith were Justin, Marco, and Rollie.

To the people who say we need to recruit shooters. Our freshmen guards Shulga, Worster, and Ashworth combine shooting stats in this Wyoming game are the following:
29 points
10-22 from the field (each guard shot 40% or better)
6-12 from 3
3-4 on FTs
Trust the process and be patient because it takes time to develop players.

Don't let the door hit ya.

Rollie and Marco started for us last year and the Aggies were better than the Utes. Queta was the primary reason we did better, so it will be interesting to see if Marco/Rollie have as much success.

If you want to know why our offense struggled, Anthony and Worster averaged 59.7 minutes per game and look at the stats above.

Plenty. The Utes are a much worse team.

Worster was hitting 3s of late, but I am pointing out to the overall season stats. You look at the worst 3 point shooters are pretty much gone at this point. I would say that you have amazing hatred for me that makes this silly, and you attack me for pointing out that Anthony was terrible on offense and was a big part of the issue for our offensive struggles. Missed shots and free throws are turnovers in the making.

Harsh. But true.

We heard that the players and the assistant coaches were pissed when Coach Smith accepted the Utah job. Sounds like not everyone was as pissed as advertised.

Marco is a great defensive player and I wish he had stayed.

But he was always a little disappointing to me on the offensive end from the first game to the last. I can forgive not being a good shooter, but I always thought his court vision was below average to bad. He seemed to often miss open teammates and kind of got tunnel vision driving the ball when guys were open for kick out threes.

I don't hate you. You're an Aggie fan. I love you. I just thought it was funny to point out that all year you've seemed to be hyping up our 3 point shooting & talking about how these guys are young and will develop. Then they're gone and it's like "they can't shoot they sucked anyway".

I for one am disappointed to lose those two but I get it and don't think it's the end of the world. I think that those two & Bean were likely the only 3 Aggies given an opportunity to transfer to Utah from Smith. I don't think anyone else on the remaining roster was given the opportunity. I don't think Shulga was or he would be there.

Losing Anthony hurts, he is an elite defender. Early in the season his hero ball hurt, but later in the season when he played team ball on offense he was effective. Hopefully we can find a good replacement.

The ewets have a former Aggie coach. They also have a very good defender in Marco and an
OK defender in Rollie. Offensively? In Marco they have a streaky shooter who shoots from his chest. In the PAC 12 I would guess not a double digit scorer. In Rollie they have a guy who will average 3 or 4 TO’s a game and will average 7 or 8 ppg. Rollie will find out that there are more Texas Tech type players in the P12. They are bigger, quicker, and faster. Against those type of players he will struggle just like he did against TTech.

Is this the part where we all trash Marco and say how he wasn't even very good and it will be easy to find a replacement for him and make up stuff about him being a locker room cancer to make ourselves feel better?

What is the point of this thread, if not this?
I think Marco will be an impact player at Utah. But you can book that Utah fans will be complaining about Marco’s and Rollie’s shooting next year.

I will spare trashing Marco, but you don’t get to transfer to a rival school and have a reasonable expectation of keeping your dignity intact with the old fan base. May not be fair, but it is what it is!

I hear you, but it is a fan forum and how some people seem to cope. Probably a vocal minority?

Of course they had weaknesses, but they were 2 of the starters on a very good USU team. Saying they won’t do well in the P12 makes it sound like USU would get destroyed by P12 teams. It also means that SDSU, CSU, Nevada guards must be bad in comparison to P12 guards. We’re essentially ripping on our own conference.

I like both players, and would rather have them than not, but they did have some glaring weaknesses. Worster has more time to improve his weaknesses, so he could still be pretty good. I think Anthony's production will likely decrease.

I’m not going to be the fan police, I totally get why people act like that when a player transfers to a rival school. I just find the whole thing kind of funny. Reading this board after Rollie left you would have thought he was an absolute scrub who would barely crack the lineup at most schools, not one of the top freshman point guards this program has seen. I just don’t see the use in acting like players were trash once they decide to leave.

Agreed. These are two incredible players and I think our team is worse off for losing them. But, with a good coach and some new blood, hopefully we can transform to something different (and better!) this year.

I'm gonna miss Marco. Interesting that he is shown without his #44? Is that number retired due to Van Horn or something?

He wasn't the most skilled player on offense but he did provide the comfort of having a solid ball handler on the court and was a complete lock down defender on the opponent's best scorer. What he did to Sherfield (and others) was a thing of beauty.

Not surprising. It will be interesting to see how Marco and Rollie do against PAC 12 competition. Marco is a good defender but not a great shooter, Rollie had trouble with turnovers and not a great shooting percentage. Both will not get as open of shots as they got last year ever again.

Overall will be interesting to see how the Utes do. I won’t be surprised if it’s a good or bad season.

I don’t like the culture and situation of NCAA sports now a days - money driven. I don’t blame players leaving when coaches change but at some point making 2-4 changes then the product looks like nba free agency.

Yeah kinda like when Collette left and he magically started sucking overnight.

No reason to make a big deal about either one of these players transferring. Neither is near the quality of Aggie players who've actually done something here to make fans remember them. They'll only be remembered for the fact that they transferred to Utah, if they're remembered at all.
