Upgrade of Jax? No. Waterman? No. Johnson? No.

Not yet. Land Berke and a solid wing scorer and I’ll agree with you

Losing NW, Jax, & AK hurts. The new guys have more talent but lack experience

To be fair. Hall Saunders Fous Knell and Stewart will also improve.

BYU '80

Right now? If we're even better than last year's team it's largely cuz Baker was retained — & plays healthy.

SinkingQuffa
