Where does Magic end up all time if he doesn’t retire early due to HIV?

PHXSUNS31

He’d have top 5 locked down by everyone for sure

Cougforgood

I think he’s got that locked down regardless

PHXSUNS31

Not universal consensus though

Cougforgood

1:25pm

Maybe not, but I think most would say he’s top 5…depending on how you count Wilt

PHXSUNS31

1:31pm

Magic is top 5 IF you need each position. #1 point guard.

Tare

1:58pm

What if you don’t need each position?

PHXSUNS31

It's crazy to look at his season when he came back after 4 years off

BGRTHNUMEGO

Ya and some signs he would’ve been able to shoot 3s as well

Likely cuts into MJ's GOATness by preventing 6 chips in 6 trips during the 90's.

FT487

Short-term Pope is a problem but I give him 3 years max…

PortlandCoug

I think the more successful he is, the less of a threat he will be.

I can't wait until the season starts so people will stop talking about pope.

NumbersGuy

I agree with you, FT487.

BYUJoJo

1:50pm

My hot take re: BYU’s success in 23-24 is that Khalifa was was underrated…

PortlandCoug

1:11pm

More important IMO is other teams underrated him. They got better at end defending his passes.

Soupie

1:13pm

Long before the end.

Bluforever

2:03pm

Sorry, but I think Khalifa was better than we expected, but now is way overrated.

Pollster

1:14pm

Khalifa's impact was huge but by mid-Big 12 play, teams had figured him out

RenoCoug

1:14pm

He was awful on defense the last 3 weeks. Injuries really hurt him

Preppy All-American

Saunders is a much bigger loss than Koz is a gain. No offense.

dYrtbYkerYder

1:09pm

You can't really know that yet

WJCougar

1:11pm

For next year's team, almost 100% certain. After that, you are right.

Mitty

1:18pm

In the immediate future (next year for sure), I agree. TBD beyond that.

BYUHawk

1:14pm

Our near-term future as a program took a hit this month in an inescapable way.

d-coug

1:17pm

Right now, Saunders a bigger loss, yes. 2 yrs from now? Koz has more upside.

DawgHaus

1:15pm

This season, probably. But beyond — I'm not so sure about that.

SinkingQuffa

1:22pm

For next year, yes. Long-term, still TBD

LifeLongLakerFan

1:23pm

For next year, sure, but if BYU brings in a transfer that can take Saunders

cougaman

1:46pm

With NIL it’s hard for me to blame players for leaving…

PortlandCoug

1:08pm

True, too much hand wringing the players when it's the system that creates it.

1:09pm

Do we know what NIL amount Saunders is getting?

WJCougar

It's the open transfer portal that is the real culprit. It magnifies the

Years? Pope doesn't have years to rely on LDS recruits.

This. Chandler was a big recruit who could have been a UK guy from the beginning

LeonMarek

So 1 of 2 would be someone Pope could traditionally steal…

ochobeeguy

1:12pm

Yep....if Pope is relying on LDS recruits in 2 years he is doing it wrong

WJCougar

He will still try to take the Chandlers, etc from us. That is a big deal.

It's a one year thing. No big deal after the first wave.

dYrtbYkerYder

One year to flatten the curve

hardcorecoug

Yeah because every year Pope will have former players to recruit from us.

That is who Pope is currently familiar with. Give it 3 years...
