Starter vs Bench doesn't matter. It is about mins played

Maybe, switch him for Saunders then? I think he will probably be the first off

No. We are now in the B12 and will soon start getting that $$$. Our budget has increased for all football too.

HarlemCoug

Sure seems like it.

How so? We're in peak BBall recruiting season... it's not like other teams are out there signing up a ton of elite

would he really be considered a top 10 pick if he wasn't in the mix for BXII

Blue Ridge

1:05pm

Of course, but he's not the top 2025 prospect in the big 12. Baylor has him

wisconsincougs

1:09pm

VJ Edgecomb is rated slightly higher, but they are equivalent level prospects.

cougarfan84

1:16pm

That's my point. Great prospect amidst other great prospects & VJ in top 5 mocks

BYU needs a 4 that shoot and possibly play the 5 when Young wants to go 5 out

At Madrid, he plays more of a combo role now.

RenoCoug

The goal is positionless basketball, so both will have the ball a lot

Biggest holes I can see on this roster are a 4 and 5 who can shoot 3's and pass.

We certainly wouldn't be the most athletic team, but that's a lot of experience & talent.

I think Demin, Jax, and Richie is a much better team defensive group

Defensively, we'll be much more versatile this year than last even if we don't bring in Jax.
