Wahlin isn't a bad pickup for Utah. Hes a very fluid athlete that can defend multiple positions. Smith is really prioritizing recruiting good defensive players. I like Sacko more than Wahlin. But I'm not sure I'd rather have Petras or Sy than Wahlin. He won't play a ton as a freshman but he has a high ceiling.
I think Erickson will be a solid rotation player for them. He shot the ball really well at SLCC and played really good defense. I think he needed to take a step back in competition to get more playing time.
Utah signed three players in the portal who started for P5 teams last year. They aren't stars but they are good players. I think Smith is doing better than you think at recruiting.
I think Diallo will be an absolute monster and I think we will sign him. I believe he'll be a three year starter and better than Fous. He led the entire U-17 World Cup(16 teams) in rebounding.
I think Koz is solid but doesn't have a super high ceiling. I feel the same way about Brooks Bahr. They would be really good signings in the WCC, but in the Big12 I think they'll have a tough time.
