Re: Current State of USU Basketball

There's no way Jackson Grant stays now. He was granted to leave. He was granted an opportunity to stay. As a walk on? If not how many scholarships do we have left? Jackson Grant will return next season as a walk-on. Was he a walk-on before or did that rule also change where you can go from scholars...

I am still scratching my head, a bit, as to what scenario, exactly, Coop was expecting/hoping for.

Either way things break in the future, there is no reason for the MWC to stand pat. Our commissioner knows that.

My angst with the constantly changing coaches and players is that it creates the perception of being a farm team where a player or coach says, "Hey, I can go to USU for maybe a year or two and then step up to something where I get paid more." The lack of continuity increases the chances that the pro...
