I'm not on the board much, but every time I log in, IT GET'S WORSE. What is happening?

brj8 All-American

9:44am

So it's your fault. GET OFF THE BOARD! Every time you come here it gets worse!!

Schultz is back

9:45am

You logged in! Please stop it. 😀

Hoopster

9:46am

So no Chandler. So who is our best recruit out of HS (that actually set foot on campus) historically? Ainge? Bradley?

Yllage Vidiot Humbly Awesome

9:44am

Marcus Adams maybe?

DieHarder

9:45am

According to stars? Mika.

CopaCoug

9:45am

We waited nearly 2 1/2 years to see one of our best commits ever

POLL: If it's Black Diamond, would you prefer Utah or Salt Lake as the name?

Cougs4Lfe

9:41am

It's gotta be Utah, imo. Cover the whole state like the Jazz.

BlueVU

9:42am

Only one person can save me from this pain tonight

Chefcurry

9:41am

The REAL reason Pope didn’t say anything on his way out

Future_Tacos

He knew he'd have more things to be thankful for - gotta wait until the

CB this morning:

DieHarder

9:40am

I'm coming around to the idea of The Black Diamonds with a Yeti mascot.

BlueVU

9:38am

Someone posted the Utah Cutthroats and I like it, had a cool logo as well.

4slyce

9:40am

Cutthroats has my vote

CameronG

9:41am

I kind of like Cutthroats for a potential MLB team.

BlueVU

9:42am

My problem with that one is times guys have died on the ice getting their throats slashed by a skate.

zonacougar

9:43am

That's true. lol

BlueVU

9:44am

I'm pretty sure those are very rare and they're going to be mandating neck

CameronG

9:45am

Black diamonds would be pretty cool

Ojiisan

9:41am

Yeti can be the mascot but for badging I like a simple double black diamond sign

kotacoug

9:41am

I am too. Is the qualtrics survey still open?

Warner

9:43am

But Utah already has a professional sports team called the Black Diamonds

machete

9:43am

LOL

kotacoug

9:44am

I may be an idiot, but what is the black diamonds thing? What does that have to

Cougar TD

9:43am

It’s a ski run, the hardest of ski runs. And Utah is famous for skiing

Warner

9:44am

Blue Squares or Green Circles not quite as intimidating.

ProvoY

9:45am

What have I missed this morning?

LHA

9:37am

Kevin Young in, Collin Chandler out

Warner

9:37am

Young as an assistant or as the head coach?

TempeCoug

9:39am

There’s no way he would come as an assistant

Yllage Vidiot

9:41am

I don’t know anything about him. Is he a better option than Burgess?

TempeCoug

9:43am

Word on the street is Head Coach with Burgess AHC

Warner

9:42am

Would be amazing if true

ausgezeichnet

9:44am

Chandler Young is leaving the coaching portal

Yllage Vidiot

9:38am

More and more unnecessary teeth gnashing and screaming at the sky.

letthewookieewin Walking Carpet

9:37am

Kevin Young is making $2M/year in the NBA.

Everyman

9:37am

We all know mormons will take less to live in Utah. Sometimes it works in our favor.

kccougar

9:37am

He was married in the SLC temple. They could have family in Utah.

Dangerous

9:38am

He’s from SLC

puntersarepeople

9:42am

He’s from GA, but does have at least one brother in Utah. KY has lived in UT tho

Nittany Cougar

9:44am

Some will. Not everyone.

Tricky

9:38am

LOL... I think we need to start paying the going wage or we'll be right back to where we are at right now.

Coug

9:44am

BYU will top that.

Jeffacka

9:38am

Pope was making more than that at BYU

JOPE

9:38am

Yep - with Young we don't have a buyout to pay for as well, so we

Dangerous

9:39am

An angle I hadn't considered

Mexicougazul

9:39am

It would take a billionaire with ties to BYU and the NBA.

Corn

9:40am

Huh...interesting. Come to think of it we might have that.

coug10278

9:41am

Like one that attends more BYU games than Jazz games?

kccougar

9:43am

If we had a coach to recruit Chandlee yesterday would that have moved the needle

Warner

9:36am

No, I don’t think so. The Kentucky carrot is too enticing. Pope told him he could go to the NBA better from UK.

Yllage Vidiot

9:40am

The disappointing thing is, even if we hire Burgess,

Love Black Diamonds. The branding on that would be incredible.

9:36am

Welcome on board. Those are my two leading candidates but I’m open

kotacoug

9:37am

I like a simple logo for Black Diamonds or Double Blacks as a name and

kotacoug

9:39am

Notre Dame’s Vegas jerseys could be a good design

CougarHut

9:41am

The only issue I have with that is that I don't like Salt Lake in the name.

BlueVU

9:41am

POLL: Will we ever win a national title for Men's BBall or Football ever again?

Cougs4Lfe

9:35am

A backdoor national championship is quite enough for the Lord's university.

It feels like it's all about the $$ now. Sports mercenaries for hire

It’s worse than a pro team. Pro leagues have free agency guidelines and

College Sports needs to be fixed for its own good. It's actually worse than

Pro sports is better entertainment right now and the gap is widening significant

Crazy stuff going on at a local high school on a spring sports team

Gigo

Should be reported to police.

cougfanblue

9:28am

Agree, but the assistant principal told them to destroy all evidence.

Gigo

9:33am

even more reason to call the police

Bexell_Hall

9:35am

Exactly. And although I don't know how it works, police have ways to get those files even if deleted.

cougfanblue

9:38am

Need to call police.

Bexell_Hall

It's not my kids' school. I'm just learning about it from several parents

What’s the origin about the Kevin Young rumors?

I believe it was Ute Twitter.

kimdaddy35

Oh great. Well that's a tried and true source.

Kdubb

Really…that’s what got the board fired up???

TempeCoug

Warner

Seriously... make it stop.

oryguncoug

It will be some random HS basketball coach that knows someone in the AD

There is precedent for this on the WBB side. I wouldn’t put it past him.

Until they weren’t.

That Big 12 bump isn’t even happening with top LDS guys it seems

kotacoug

Haven’t busted through the ceiling yet, although transfers have been better

JOPE

9:35am

Frank was a disappointment. Jabari wasn't from Utah and had no real link to BYU.

Benfica1

9:34am

If Chandler sits behind a few 5 star guards while he gets his legs back,

VACougMD

9:24am

Transfer, maybe, but not to BYU. Just say goodbye.

Yllage Vidiot

9:25am

Won't shock me at all if he transfers after one year. May not be to BYU, but

Dangerous

9:26am

Or, maybe he goes to UK for a year and then decides to come to BYU – see Puka.

Benfica1

9:35am

Men’s basketball coach

PA_pete

9:22am

With transfers, Collin could still come back. He could go and not play and

bookofdaniel

9:22am

I would say him coming back to BYU is extremely unlikely. His sights are set on the NBA.

Yllage Vidiot

9:24am

Holmoe just did a press conference

cougarmeister

9:21am

“He got us into the Big XII”, hope that means he can straighten out this mess. Frustrating to be a BYU fan these days.

Yllage Vidiot

9:23am

I don't blame Tom for the mess, but definitely hope he can straighten it out.

cougarmeister

9:26am

I didn’t blame him either. I do think he wishes he had hired Madsen over Pope back in 2019.

Yllage Vidiot

Thanks that was funny

Coug

Sucks but it’s business, on the flip side he got Childs to stay and Toolson back

Rhubarb

He let down 17 million members for sure.

JohnnyC

9:30am

Everyone knew 100% he would leave for Kentucky. It isn't like he left for Utah.

He probably didn't want to wait an entire additional week waiting for P day

Malacis

Chandler was really sold on pope, he’s the reason he chose BYU

JOPE

I shouldn’t say regardless but any BYU level or higher offer and he

He is all in on Pope. He wouldn't have gone elsewhere.

kimdaddy35

Agree plus if he got $500k that would be hard to turn down

Rhubarb

9:21am

Might already know who it likely is and he made a decision

Dr T-bone

This is overly simplistic, when Pope was hired, Childs was already out the door

Digital Gangsta

He was committed to Pope and not BYU.....

No player who chooses Kentucky over BYU should be criticized. Full stop.
