Re: Current State of USU Basketball
So the tweet of the Ian dunk — that was just cause he upgraded to a medium chance of returning?
What a let down. I was ready to aggasm.

He's talking about how in the thread it's been commented how multiple names have had an uptick in their likelihood of returning to usu. The direction has all been upward.

No one I particularly care about has recommitted to coming back since Falslev, so while incremental progress is fine, I am looking for some "run it back" posts to scratch my itch today. C'mon, Josh. It's time.

Re: Current State of USU Basketball
Assuming Ian returns that puts it at 10 scholarships. With the 3 remaining we for sure need a starting caliber PG, probably a 4 man that score like an Osobor and center that can put in 10-15 minutes. I know Calhoun had that Dynes at YSU, not sure if he is in the portal but seems like a solid back up center that could give 10-15 solid minutes a game.Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑April 12th, 2024, 9:40 amSo right now it like looks something like this?

Re: Current State of USU Basketball
Zero. But that doesn't mean he can't bail and get immediate eligibility elsewhere. Not only does he have the injury waiver in his pocket BUT he has the coaching change card he can pull, I also believe he is a graduate transfer. So he's got the trifecta of waiver reasons.EngineeringAggie wrote: ↑April 12th, 2024, 9:39 amWhat is the likelihood of Max Agbonkpolo getting that injury waiver before the transfer portal closes?aggies22 wrote: ↑April 4th, 2024, 1:13 pmAfter assessing how things have transpired this week and trying to do as much research as I can, this is my PREDICTION as to who stays, who is going, and who is on the fence.

If Ian and Great come back we could still be looking at 3 schollies left. Definitely need a true #1 PG and someone who can backup PG a bit better than Ian/Mason (maybe Hill still comes??). The last spot probably best athlete available no matter the position.
Transfer PG/transfer G or Hill/Barnes
Martinez/Falslev/transfer G
Falslev/Uduje/Burris/Phelps

Is there any way you would be able to say why the "No Return to Utah State" players are not returning? example: looking for more playing time, didn't like it here, counseled out, better NIL, or private reasons.

Re: Current State of USU Basketball
I get the impression that Calhoun is not going to "counsel out" anyone. Is this due to the fact that he was not the one to recruit these guys and maybe doesn't want to start out on that foot? or is there a possibility that he thinks some of guys that have not played have a legitimate shot at being contributors?
I don't want to be mean but there are guys returning that should be recruited over. I would rather roll the dice and have more chances that someone new being brought in will be a contributor rather than hoping a returner can improve to the point of being a factor.
With so few spots open for new guys, this staff really can't miss the mark. The new guys will need to be immediate impact players.

Is this due to the fact that he was not the one to recruit these guys and maybe doesn't want to start out on that foot? or is there a possibility that he thinks some of guys that have not played have a legitimate shot at being contributors?
I don't want to be mean but there are guys returning that should be recruited over. I would rather roll the dice and have more chances that someone new being brought in will be a contributor rather than hoping a returner can improve to the point of being a factor.
With so few spots open for new guys, this staff really can't miss the mark. The new guys will need to be immediate impact players.

Re: Current State of USU Basketball
I realize no team is going to play 13 guys, someone has to sit the bench, and a team does need some practice guys but I would love our bench guys to be younger players that are sitting out a year to get acclimated like Phelps and D. Grant were this past year. If they're not younger guys then at least great support guys that understand their role. I think Burris accepted that role last year and appeared to be very engaged and supportive on the bench.BasketballAgg wrote: ↑April 12th, 2024, 12:41 pmNigel Burris and Jackson Grant are NOT MW level players.

I would like to keep Burris just to see what becomes of him under a different staff. He did not look like the player we saw WAC highlights of as a Freshman and I think a lot of that was due to how Sprinkle handled him. I think Sprink is a screamer and the kind of coach that believes he can motivate by getting in a kids face. Some kids respond, some learn to let is slide off their shoulders, and others lose their confidence. I think Burris was the latter. DS yelled at Osobor after he made some stupid turnover or something too but you could just tell that Great's body language was like "yeah, yeah, I got it coach whatever....what are you gonna do bench me?" as he sort of listened on his way to the bench. Burris' confidence looked shot before the season began.
J Grant.. I think you're right-probably not gonna make it at this level.

Re: Current State of USU Basketball
If i recall there was no house to clean. Almost everyone was already in the portal. He also honored all the scholarship guys that Odom had recruited (Sakho, Phelps and Grant). I have seen very little of Jackson Grant but what i have seen he does not look like a MWC player. Burris we saw very little of and while he did not look great you could tell he had 0 confidence. I wonder if with some confidence and a new coaching staff he can be a role player. It is a fine line of coming in and just cleaning house versus letting people start off with a fresh look. If Josh/Ian stay along with the other players we currently have the remaining 3-4 scholarships should be enough to bring in some impact guys and make next years team super competitive on paper.hipsterdoofus21 wrote: ↑April 12th, 2024, 12:49 pmThat's something I'll miss from Danny.

I’m 95% sure I saw Craig Smith at Cafe Sabor tonight. Does that lower our chances on any of the remaining guys?
