kwsn.com/podcasts/sports-talk-with-kwsn/5093/mick-garry-mooney-going-to-utah-state-to-join-smith-would-be-bad-look/Recent podcast of Mick Garry on KWSN talking about several current USD basketball topics, plus comments on the financial benefits of (Augie) moving up to D-1 compared with what USD has seen. Not sure where to put this, but it is mostly USD Basketball, so here it is. A selected quote: (some paraphrased) How surprised were you that Utah State entered the picture (for Mooney)?Mick: " I was a little surprised. [...] As Matt has defined the type of school he was looking for, Utah State doesn't check any of those boxes. [...] other than the head coach.... Honestly, it surprised me a little bit that Craig Smith decided he was going to [...] pursue Matt Mooney. A player from where he was before. It's not something that every coach does, and there are reasons for that." In many cases [...] a guy who gets a job at a bigger school (like Craig Smith) DOESN'T bring his star player with him. Why are there reasons why that doesn't usually happen?
I think it's just a bad look. It doesn't violate any rules. You could certainly justify it. You could say: 'he's not going back to USD anyway. I'm not stealing him from USD.' [...] It's just not something a lot of coaches do....

I think his comments on Fakira go along with what I have heard. He's not overly interested in Fakira. I have heard the only recruit of the 3 we had that Lee was very interested in was Sam Griesel.

If we have any plans to utilize a big guy I would think we could do a lot worse than fakira. Granted, I've never actually seen him play, so take that for what it's worth.

What is your source for this? If you do indeed have a legitimate source that you can't reveal, I'm fine with that. If you are basing this on a publicly available source and are just reading into it, making assumptions, then at least provide a link.

I Rather not reveal their name. But it sounds like Lee wasn't impressed with Fakira and just felt he was a big body. Now whether thats his true feelings or whether it's your buddy getting rejected by the hot girl saying "I never wanted to date her in the first place" I don't know.

Fair enough, thanks for sharing that. We'll have to trust Lee's judgement on it. Bigs certainly aren't a dime a dozen, but there are plenty of big men that don't pan out as players as well. We will have to give Lee a good month to see what he can deliver on the transfer market. I hope we get some good news soon.

Interesting interview. What I like is that he hammered in recruiting Minneapolis. I think that will be a big key. What I didn’t like is he essentially was setting expectations that they have no shot vs sdsu. New coach, new system while SDSU has won three in a row etc... but tj was a new coach and had a new system as well and that didn’t slow them down too bad. It will be interesting to see who his staff is.
