That is not an especially impressive group aside from Josh Grant. I know that Britton Jonhsen got a cup of coffee in the NBA but I am at a loss to explain why. Mark Jackson had a really nice season, but was essentially a role player the rest of his career. The rest were role players.

Then none of them are exceptional players and Utah pursued none of them.

Damn straight. In fact I take Alex Jensen over Josh Grant, and I am a huge Josh Grant fan.

If these players aren't special as Mormon Utahns go why do you hold out any hope at all for the future of your program? Payers like this is the best you can hope for. I don't mind debating these issues with you guys. My job here seems to be enlightening the aborigines about whatever. But one thing I can't abide is some blow hole who comes and just makes stuff up like this. Other than Indy I don't see that happen very often here.

Yeah, I am going to have to go ahead and disagree with that. I will admit that he was a great player, especially when one considers that he had no discernible basketball skills.

Essentially if Alex hadn't have gone on a mission we would be talking about Utah's National Championship in 1996

I guess being MWC Player of the year means nothing...

I do think that there is good role player level talent at all times in Utah, but only infrequently is there high level talent. |

Alex Jensen was a stud. He was one of those Ute players you couldn't help but like.
