With three sophomores and two freshmen in Utah's starting lineup and other freshmen in the playing rotation, the future appears encouraging for the Ute basketball program. The outlook is expected to improve even more Wednesday, when the country's No. 5-ranked recruiting class comes aboard.
By signing three Top 100 players, plus Sky View High School multisport athlete Mason Falslev, Ute coach Larry Krystkowiak anticipates welcoming his most impressive group in nine years on the job.
“Oh, it's awesome for us,” Krystowiak said during his weekly news conference Tuesday, without identifying the players, by NCAA rule.
