Comments about ‘High school basketball: Jaguars continue dominance’

Jordan are you sure you still want to go to Utah? Not even sure how long Coach K will be at Utah!

Hopefully Loveridge continues this way and wants to be part of rebuilding the Utes program. Can't wait till this kid is wearing red!

Why would this kid want to play for the worst D1 basketball program in the country?

Another superleage team. South Sevier and WJ should play each other. All year.

....because he's not a kid... he's a man!
Why did Keith Van Horn and Andre Miller want to come to the U??? The Utes weren't having the most stellar success the previous 5 years to their commitments.
Some guys see opportunity and aren't scared of it. Some simply recognize a sleeping giant when they see one and aren't scared to go wake him up.
Jordan, can't wait to have you on the hill, some fun stuff is ahead for you and for the Utes.

"We've all been playing together for a long time now"

Gotta love how AAU basketball now suddenly applies to Utah high school basketball. It is because of that quote that Jackson is now at West Jordan.

For the same reason Troy Hinds wants to play on Team Irrelevant.

Utah is NO sleeping giant. Or if they are they have been asleep for about 5 years now. I admire Joprdan for his committment. He'll will probably play right away. But will he make a difference right away? It's hard to say. Every team he will play against next year will have between 5-6 players of Jordans caliber...maybe even more and the Utes will only have 1. I look for this to be a long carrer for Jordan. Not many wins and no post-season tournament apperances. Good luck though. Prove me wrong.
And if you deside to de-commit from Utah, I don't think any one would blame you. Even Ute Fans .

I'm sure Coach Briggs was extatic when the UHSAA allowed the Jackson kid to transfer for his Senior Year. You read a lot of articles about kids getting turned down for transfering just for athletic reasons. I'm sure in this case it couldn't have been for athletics? It looks like now he'll have the talent to compete against those top 2 Utah county teams LP and AF for the state title which he couldn't do last year.

who is Syracuse's coach?

I have a lot of respect for Coach Briggs and what he has been able to do with WJHS b-ball over the past decade.

And it's nice to see WJ beat Bingham, we haven't been so lucky in football for a long while.
