This week's podcast was dedicated to Utah's legendary basketball coach Rick Majerus, who passed away last week at the age of 64.

In part 1, we each gave our tributes to coach Majerus, as well as caught up with 3 star offensive lineman David Maka out of southern California. We also gave our early predictions as to what the depth chart will look like for the Utes on the offensive line and who to look out for.

SALT LAKE CITY — Although the season is officially over for the University of Utah, the awards are continuing to come in for two seniors that made significant contributions to the team.

Kick returner Reggie Dunn has been named to two All-American first-teams, one by CBSSports.com and the other by Athlon Sports. Dunn had four 100-yard kickoff returns for touchdowns, an NCAA record.

My earliest memories of Utah basketball are of watching guys like Mitch Smith, Manny Hendrix, Jimmy Madison, Gale Gondrezick, and Kelvin Upshaw. I don't remember a ton from those years but I always wanted to go see MY Utes up at the Special Events Center. I do remember Lynn Archibald being the Head Coach, but not much else.

Then everything changed.

SALT LAKE CITY — Rick Majerus, one of the most influential basketball coaches in Utah history, passed away on Saturday due to prolonged complications with his heart. He was 64.

Majerus was best known as the coach of the Runnin' Utes. He arrived at the school in 1989 and led the Utes to nine NCAA tournament appearances, including one trip to to the NCAA championship game in 1998.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Night with the Runnin' Utes is an annual thing that I always like to attend. I find it a sort of a rebirth, something that the Utes need most right now. And Wednesday night in the Huntsman Center, an entirely new cast of Utah basketball was born.

The Utes are getting a much needed new start after the worst season in school history, but let's be honest, they didn't belong. Larry Krystkowiak needed a new bunch to build with and from what I saw Wednesday night, that might be possible.

From the first possession the freshman Jordan Loveridge was a player teammates were looking for to take the shot, to put them on his back and carry them.

MISSION VIEJO, Calif. — While the football team may have lost this past weekend to UCLA, the Utah coaching staff was able to witness an incredible comeback highlighted by future Ute Conner Manning.

The 6-foot-2, 205-pound quarterback lead the El Toro Chargers to a 41-31 come-from-behind win over nationally ranked Tesoro last Friday. And with the Utes just 70 miles north in Pasadena preparing to face the Bruins, head coach Kyle Whittingham and receivers coach Aaron Roderick were able to witness Manning throwing for 281 yards and four touchdowns.

While the quarterback's numbers were great, it may have been a catch that happened right in front of his future coaches that impressed them the most. Trailing 31-27, Manning handed the ball off to teammate Jacob Furnari, who ran to the right before throwing into the end zone to a wide open Manning, his first ever receiving touchdown.

PASADENA — Utah fans wanting to see more of freshman quarterback Travis Wilson, today is your lucky day.

Just minutes ago we were informed that Wilson will be the Utes starting quarterback against UCLA in the Rose Bowl.
