Yes but they were leftovers from a bad Archibald team that got him fired. Majerus didn't recruit one of those guys.

True. Archibald, like Giac, was a really nice guy, but not really what I'd call a recruiter.

Utah has no athleticism
Quote:
While Utah is young, they have a big problem in that 2 of the primary building blocks, Green and Neville, are remarkably slow and unathletic. So unless the other 3 positions are played by players with exceptional athletic ability, the defense will be medicore to bad, and the wins won't go up much. I have no idea if Utah has athletic players coming in for next year, but I wouldn't count on any from this year's team. Utah actually played decent offense this year, so I don't think you can expect much improvement on that side. Things will get a little sharper, but not enough to overcome bad defense.

In regards to the talent on Utah's team.
Nevill is going to play in the NBA. Whether he's a 12th man or more is up to him. He seems like the type who doesn't know how to get motivated without someone helping him and sometimes that's a bad combination for someone with the talent that he possesses. Stephen Weigh...it's obvious the kid has some talent, but like Nevill is softer than charmin. Daniel Deane....I really like this kids feisty temperment out on the court. However, word is he's seriously contemplating transferring out of the program. I'm not a big fan of Shaun Green...sure he's a 3 point assassin and has some other games where he's had some surprisingly good stats with rebounds, steals, assists,,,,but honestly the guy seems to also play passionless and couldn't guard a statue. He's a HORRIBLE defender. Johnnie Bryant can shoot from anywhere but he's a coach killer. I would not want him on my team. Luka Drca sucks. He's not a D-1 ball player. He'd be better playing somewhere like Westminster on a lower talent level. Giac mis-fired badly on him. No one knows about Kim Tillie because he didn't play due to injury. Curtis Eatmon has talent, but again Giac didn't play him much and due to his inconsistent rotation really affected the confidence of a lot of his players.

I dunno about all class; I think of myself as about 15% class, 15% BS, 40% enigma, 20% questionable character and 10% misc.

Thanks, IPU. It has been an amazing year.
I hate to admit it, but I actually felt sorry for the Ute players and fans in the second half of the game yesterday. It was a slaughter. It would have been more fun had the game been a little closer; like the football game was. The rivalry is more fun when both teams are competitive. There are a couple of brothers in our ward who are diehard Ute fans. This in spite of the fact that they grew up in Provo and their mother teaches at BYU. They sat not far from me yesterday and the poor kids were pretty depressed at the end. I didn't have the heart to tease them about it.

I'm not so sure Neville is a future NBA player
