Best (Utah) Basketball Takes in My Known Universe
Unfortunately, Apple Podcasts only lets me leave a five star review when I came on here intending to leave a 10. Jake and Ben and Miracle Megan are great. Unfortunately, like all good things in life, they just don’t last long enough. They only get two hours a day Monday through Friday. I mean, I suppose you could make the argument that if you gave the more hours to show would not be as good, just like if you water down a milkshake to make it last all day it wouldn’t taste good at that point eith... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hour 2: Steve Bartle on Utah's Potential Star at WR & Morgan Scalley's Learning Curve | Is BYU Charging Way Too Much for these Fan Experiences? | ESPN Interrupts Bill Rasmussen Tribute to start Pat McAfee Show

Q: If you could add a single star player at one position to elevate the Utah roster, where would that position be most impactful?

A defensive tackle to disrupt the line and free up the other positions would have the broadest positive ripple effect across both the offensive and defensive units.

Steve Bartle: Thoughts on Braden Pegan Being Named to Biletnikoff Watch List, Morgan Scalley's Learning Curve as a Head Coach, & MORE

Q: What is your take on how many losses Utah could absorb given the current roster and schedule?

Bartle and the hosts tentatively project around five losses as a reasonable ceiling, with a stronger emphasis on the offensive and defensive lines determining how many wins exceed that mark.

Steve Bartle: Thoughts on Braden Pegan Being Named to Biletnikoff Watch List, Morgan Scalley's Learning Curve as a Head Coach, & MORE

Q: Hypothetical for you, Steve, and I'm not looking for specific names here by any means, but where would adding a star player at one position most impact this Utah roster?

Steve Bartle suggests adding a veteran defensive tackle would unlock the rest of the defense and elevate the overall performance of the unit, potentially raising the ceiling for both lines and the defense as a whole.

Q: What's the latest on Kalani Sitake's situation at BYU?

The hosts discuss Sitake's frustration about resources and the public nature of the dispute, noting it could distract the team near the season.

Dick Harmon: Inside Kalani Sitake's Requests for Resources from BYU's Athletic Department

Q: How do donors influence this dynamic, and who seems to be driving decisions behind the scenes?

The donors have pledged substantial funds for several years, and Brian Santiago is described as a strong arbiter of how those funds get allocated, particularly favoring basketball in some scenarios.
