Yep. Really ever since they lost to ASU at home. They would have had to win the PAC 12 tournament

Don't think he would have won at USU long-term. Best for the program that he moved on

Utah doesn't have a good fanbase, but smith hasn't given them much to cheer for. He shares in the responsibility for the poor crowds. Whittingham has no problem having a full crowd in football

If they had lost in the PAC tournament final, it might have gotten interesting. But now they are definitely 100% out.

Fine by me, I hope Utah rots. The way Utah has treated the Aggies over the years they can rot in hell. Smith has a lot more money right now but would interesting to see if he truly is happy with his decision. Money is not everything in this world.

In coaching circles, Craig Smith is a really good coach. I agree. While on a different thread, a lot of fans drool over getting Will Wade (not going to happen), Smith beat Wade on a neutral with a walk on point. Craig's problem is his recruiting. Utah is in a better spot than when Craig took over, but I think he thought he could get fans. He can't. For whatever reason, he and his staff cannot get recruits.

On another note, I do not want to play CU in the tournament. They have been injured all year and now they are healthy and they look good.

Will Wade is much more likely to go to Louisville - it's like a match made in heaven. Maybe we can convince Washington to go after him though.

I am telling you all. Smith is an Aggie through and through. He hate utah as much as the rest of us. I would take 12 million dollars to keep Utah irrelevant in basketball too.

Don't think any place in the country would take smith over wade if given the choice. Smith has done a poor job at Utah. Recruiting is an issue, but they lost a lot of inexcusable pac games this year. If Utah is better now than when he took over it is minimal. They're going to rocked in the big 12 and he'll be fired after next year

What's funny is the reported offer to Sprinkle is as much or more than what Craig made selling his soul.

When I watch the Utes I see a pretty loaded roster and size for days. I don't think it's a recruiting issue at this point.

Yeah. Brandon Carlson and Keita would do very well in the MW, and they have 2 other 7 footers that are more than serviceable. The PG Smith is really good as well. They got at least three shooters to spread the floor.

I think the u's problem is the Collette Curse. Their refusal to play us started their downward trend, and the "procurement" of Collette's services has turned him into their own Murphy the Goat. They'll have to miss the tournament until they either play us in the Spectrum or until Collette passes away after a long and healthy life.

Interesting thought. He was the perfect coach at the time to breathe some much needed energy into the program. Would he been able to maintain the momentum? Wich leads to another question - is USU better off with these short-term rentals?

I guess. Craig Smith's recruiting to USU was not sustainable. Odom was underwhelming as well, but he had a foot out the door. I'll be honest, this is all based on just what I remember, but the recruits we're getting with Sprinkle are players I am excited about. I didn't feel that way with Smith or Odom.

I watched some of their game last night for the first time this year. They looked like garbage. Every mountain west team I watched yesterday looked better than them.

With the current state of college basketball with transfers and NIL, I think short term rentals and short term coaches are going to be the norm.
