Utes on a Crusade: Utah vs NW Nazarene

[U-Ute]

Starters: Bonham, Daniels, PVD, Johnson, Kuzma.

[U-Ute]

Lots of guys seeing early playing time. Zamora, Bealer, Ruddinger have been in and we're not even halfway through the first half.

[U-Ute]

Jake Connor sighting. 6 minutes left in first half.

We have given up way too many offensive boards.

Utes up 6: 19-13

[U-Ute]

Very sloppy offense. 10 turnovers already. Poor shooting.

Kuzma is the lone bright spot.

[U-Ute]

This sums it up.

Jokl sighting

Apparently the D2 team brought the D2 refs.

Rawson showing a big time drop step jump hook.

I like how Jayce Johnson rebounds. He's physical.

[Diehard Ute]

Jayce is a good defender and rebounder

His FT shot is the weirdest I've seen.

One game in and I'm already putting jokl on transfer watch.

[Dwight Schr-Ute]

Anyone know why Pöltl isn't playing tonight?!

Best way to think about this is we are missing 2 starters & will until mid-December.

Kuzma was so much better than anyone else it is hard to tell how good he is---but he rebounded & scored at will.
Bonam looked like he was just screwing around.

JoJo struggled at the point--but he won't play that all year.
Devon Daniels will be really good --in 2 years. He did look better as the game went on.

Gabe Bealer--although getting blown by on first D---played well---2 drives & dunks on the baseline. he played better D. but he looks like he is on cruise control. Made a bad behind the back pass & promptly sat down.
He has potential---noted the score-sheet they hand out listed him as a Jr.

Rawson is very solid.

We might be the #8 team in the league, as projected?

off point---Larry K's kid is huge & looks really coordinated.

Thanks for the comments, Old. It should be a very interesting season. Although my expectations are tempered, I am quite curious about both team and player development. Around the league, it seems as thought everyone (ok, not WSU) is signing 5* recruits. Just want to see how our coaches develop what we have.

I didn't mention Jayce Johnson. He is only 18--guy he guarded was a senior, so 22 or 23. Even though not a D-1 match up Jayce held his own & was the better rebounder.
He gets tired quickly, but probably in part because of first game nervous energy.
His FT form needs work, but he made more than 1/2.

He probably backs up Collette---but he will be really good at some point.

So...the opposite of my kid.
