Taylor Rooks has committed!

I knew if I kept buying season tickets it would pay off!

 

[Sedino]

LOL.

I'll remain cautiously optimistic as I generally am with our teams.

But nothing "needed to said". I get that people enjoy all the insider chatter. But let's not fool ourselves. It does nothing to further the program which is the only need I have.

So you're here then because.....?

6'8" guard. class of 25, probably still growing

Recruiting news. Debates about offense and defense. A ton of stuff.

Lots more to this board than trying to get the scoop on recruiting hours or days before it happens.

I managed to survive 7 days between Tatelins and SMSL. I can survive not getting the "scoop".

Late to the party. One of the earliest SI covers I can recall as a wee lad. Sonny was a Cherokee born in Oklahoma. Stellar U-Dub career IIRC.

His defensive highlights

His defensive highlights

One of the best shot blockers in the country. Him and Dain would pair really well together as a 1-2 punch at the 5

[SkyysNotFalling]

That Bandago kid is exactly what we’ve been missing for a long time. Man… he could play in the NBA if he ever beefs up.

To give you an idea how good Bandaogo is as a rim protector, Utah Valley allowed the lowest FG% at the rim in the country.
