Utah basketball program in some turmoil?
Three key players transferring? You have to wonder what is going on there. Then add in the 3 seniors, all of whom were key players along with Poeltl leaving early for the NBA and it doesn't seem like things are going to be so great for them this year. I also wouldn't be surprised if coach 80K takes the next decent offer that comes along. Lots of reasons to avoid an embarrassing loss in Provo this year. On the other hand, it's looking more and more as if beating them wouldn't have helped BYU much with the selection committee this time anyway, since they're likely not to be very good. I just hope BYU holds the line in future negotiations. The next deal if there is one has to include playing the first game in Provo with at least $1M penalty for weaseling out of a game.

might be one down year, but if he stays, I predict they will quickly reload.

Also, 3 guys transferring in one year who would have gotten significant playing time would seem to indicate there is something strange going on there. Not saying he isn't a good basketball coach, but he might me a little bit of a maniac who is hard to play for, ala Rex Walters. Last edited by BlueK; 05-13-2016 at 03:06 PM. |

Brekkott Chapman was expected to start for them this year. Interesting how coach 80k is blocking some of his options. Not sure why every school in Utah except Weber is on the block list considering that Utah doesn't play anyone in the state. The P12 thing I can understand.

I would indeed enjoy Coach 80k ending up with a dumpster fire on his hands.
Utah fans get to watch their team suck AND ALSO not get to play/beat BYU. Nice going Utah. You have a coach that wants to make the season even LESS interesting. |
