The U Fan Cast

Former Utes LB Mohamoud Diabate has signed with the Tennessee Titans 1-year deal worth up to $1.363m($350k GTD)

@BradenShamo I don't think he realizes the "No mercy" guy in The Karate Kid was the villain.🤔

Ah, yes. The famous verses where Christ enumerates which humans deserve no mercy from other humans.

NEWS: Utah Valley’s Trevan Leonhardt intends to enter the transfer portal, his agent Matt Slan tells DraftExpress. The 6’5” point guard averaged 12.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 2.2 steals per game this season. 1st Team All-WAC and WAC All-Defensive Team selection. Crafty, unselfish two-way Swiss Army knife who should command a robust high-major market.

Utah WBB is now set to lose 5 of it's top 6 scorers from this year's squad. While they do have an excellent recruiting class coming in, it's a big offseason up on the Hill. #GoUtes

@100ThingsUtah @MarkHarlan_AD Timing. Lousy timing. I blame Roberts for the way she departed, leaving her team high and dry only a few games into the season. The AD was left with little leverage & few options (but giving Peterson 5 years was unconscionable).

@TheUFanCast @MarkHarlan_AD We’ve never had men coaching Utah women’s BB and why we decided to go that route when most everyone else is in retreat on the issue is beyond me.

With LA Sneed's departure, @MarkHarlan_AD needs to have a serious talk with Gavin Peterson. Lost everyone of significant talent from a disappointing team. One in-coming frosh guard isn't enough. GP will have to make serious waves in the transfer portal to field a decent team.

@ColoUte @MarkHarlan_AD Sneed was a 5-star recruit & a legit PG. That's not coming in the signed class.

@TheUFanCast @MarkHarlan_AD He's actually got a decent class coming in, but yeah, 3 good freshmen will need a lot of help from the portal to allow them to develop and acclimate to the physicality of the XII game.

NEWS: Utah State’s Karson Templin intends to enter the transfer portal, his agent Matt Slan tells DraftExpress. The 6’9” 230 pound junior forward played a critical role off the bench for the 29-win Aggies, being named MWC 6th Man of the Year. Tough, relentless, physical frontcourt glue guy who plays with an edge, has a real nose for the ball, and is explosive off two feet for contested dunks and emphatic blocks. The Texas native is poised to draw plenty of high-major suitors given his plug-and-play role, self-awareness, and winning pedigree.

BREAKING: Utah Prop 4 repeal will not make it on the 2026 ballot. Signature removal requests processed on Wednesday brought SD15 nearly 260 names below the threshold. The petition now has enough signatures in only 25 of 29 state Senate districts and no longer qualifies for the ballot. Signature removals will continue until April 23. Utah GOP chair Rob Axson told me: "We have significant concerns about the practices utilized by the opposition and continue to review the signature validation and removal process." "Given today’s update, we want to thank the hundreds of thousands of Utahns who signed our initiative. Utahns spoke loudly in the face of an unprecedented onslaught of biased media coverage, outside influence, and judicial interference." "Whether now or in the future, by litigation or initiative, we will Repeal Prop 4. This fight is not over but just beginning." deseret.com/politics/2026/…

@Zachary__Keller @JFurKSL They didn't. The previous HC quit only a few games into the last season. They were stuck with no HC and two highly regarded recruits on the line. They were stuck between a rock and a hard place, though giving him a 5-year contract was stupid.

@JFurKSL Can we please stop putting the head coach in waiting tag on the male 1st assistant on the woman's team!? It hasn't worked out for us.

Utah women’s basketball freshman guard LA Sneed announces on IG that she’s entering the portal. A big surprise here as she was expected to stay.

This one should have @MarkHarlan_AD asking serious questions of Gavin Peterson.

I love this guy.🤭

Santa Clara guard Christian Hammond plans to enter the @TransferPortal, he told @On3. 

The 6-4 sophomore was the Broncos leading scorer, averaging 15.6 points per game, while shooting over 39% from three. All-WCC First Team. on3.com/transfer-porta…

Thoughts, @foxonabox_ ?

NEWS: Arizona State’s Timya Grice plans to enter the transfer portal, her representative at Global Pipeline Agency told @On3. The 6-5 redshirt freshman center appeared in eight games this season. TRACKER: on3.com/her/news/on3-2…

BREAKING: Iowa State’s Jada Williams plans to enter the transfer portal, she announced. The 5-8 junior averaged 15.3 ppg, 3.5 rpg and 7.7 apg this season. TRACKER: on3.com/her/news/on3-2…

@aljmac @jwalker_sports The part about USU being a Top 30 job is definitely spin, but he's not wrong to have seen the writing on the wall. Similar results at Cinci in the Big 12 will yield a top 3 seed.

@jwalker_sports @TheUFanCast He’s definitely spinning, but if you take him at his word, he’s leaving a top 30 job and going to, what, a top 40 job?

Jerrod Calhoun on the Utah State head coaching job he just vacated: "Utah State is a top 30 job in America. It truly is. It's a place that has an incredible student body, 3,800 students every night...But I can tell you this, when we got the 9 seed after winning 28 games and a regular season title and a tournament title, that was pretty telling."

NEW: Penn State star guard Kiyomi McMiller plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, @TaliaGoodmanWBB reports. McMiller averaged 21.6 points, 5 rebounds and 4.5 assist per game this season. on3.com/her/news/penn-…
