Well, with the Neilson news, I've updated my Dave Rose big man signees chart

How can you count injury busts against him? Also, if you're counting Stephen

Hawkcat is an 0-fer in meaningful sports analysis.

Ok, I'll be expecting your insightful analysis of the situation shortly then

HawkCat

What were Stephen's measurables?

HawkCat

4/20/15 10:34pm

lol so height alone = position? Do you watch basketball?

Keena Young was 6'6. He was a "big." Rogers is not.

southernfriedcougar

4/20/15 10:53pm

6'8 and 20 lbs

Mr Bassman

He did descend from the Cummard line...

Counting injuries as "busts" is mind-numbingly stupid.

benny1982

Greg Oden is considered a bust but not because of his game.

jakespoon

4/21/15 11:34am

In this context, where Hawk is making an argument against Rose's ability

benny1982

4/21/15 11:44am

Sam Bowie was not considered a bust? injury = bust.

jakespoon

4/21/15 11:33am

Don't forget Walton

What a horrible answer!

kimdaddy35

Hmmm. Listed as a forward.

HawkCat

4/21/15 10:16pm

you're really on a roll. Ever heard of a SF? Aka another wing?

southernfriedcougar

I hope you are trolling

kimdaddy35

Maybe think about the term bust and then edit.

keena young played the 4 and was recruited by rose

tigerblue

4/20/15 9:57pm

Confounding data. Unless you can be 100% sure a player was identified

HawkCat

4/20/15 10:46pm

I'm 100% sure Keena Young came to BYU bc of Coach Rose

wisconsincougs

4/21/15 5:15am

Wasnt it because of Cleveland?

Gerald-DeGroot

4/21/15 9:15am

I know Pope was well liked, bit there was not a lot of improvement in the bigs

Thrill

4/20/15 9:58pm

I honestly don't get how some hold this opinion.

Mantis Mutu

4/20/15 10:54pm

Which guys showed significant improvement? Kaufusi did this year, and all the

Thrill

4/20/15 11:58pm

It had a LOT more than better conditioning involved with it. Andrus & Nielson

Mantis Mutu

4/21/15 3:25am

how did you feel about Noah hartsocks senior year

concolor couguar

4/21/15 10:07am

Sharp was 100% a B-U-S-T.

ag4cougs

4/20/15 10:01pm

Yeah, but he was only 25% big man.

Mantis Mutu

4/20/15 10:53pm

This is really a sad but true statistic - Also several misses on LDS kids

Jersey hunter

4/20/15 10:13pm

Justin Hamilton - isn't/wasn't LDS

bstod

4/20/15 10:25pm

please name his misses. lds bigs who were really good big men somewhere else.

asu bachinsky and Colette at usu

concolor couguar

4/21/15 1:20pm

I agree that we could have used Bachinsky, but he wasn't as great as peopl make

GSwarriorcoug

4/21/15 5:33pm

That's why you can't miss...because there are so few.

Austin is NOT a bust.

ol' Blue Eyes

4/21/15 12:04am

And Luke Worthington absolutely is

coug203

4/21/15 12:06am

Not for lack of improvement. It's a lack of effectiveness. (IOWs lack of talent)

Mantis Mutu

4/21/15 3:26am

Borderline=debatable

HawkCat

4/21/15 12:17am

Somebody that guards bigs, brings down 8 Reb/game, a block, a steal, an assist

ol' Blue Eyes

4/21/15 7:37am

Austin is horrible at Defense. Horrible.

Gerald-DeGroot

4/21/15 9:23am

You're saying that Rose can't develop a big man

qom

4/21/15 12:41am

Or, based on the numbers, even regularly identify one.

HawkCat

4/21/15 12:45am

I thought Fernando was decent.

CougarBreath

4/21/15 2:25am

Austin finished top 2 or 3 in conference in rebounding - not a bust

BYUfan92

4/21/15 5:39am

"No offense whatsoever" .... false for Austin

Bob Vance

4/21/15 6:54am

I predict...

Here's another way to cut the data

wisconsincougs

4/21/15 7:28am

And that, my friends, is how you completely dismantle a dumb post

jdub

4/21/15 6:52pm

Lol. Dismantling post contends Rose is 5 for 16 instead of 4 for 16.

HawkCat

4/21/15 8:04pm

Was actually 9 for 12. Guess I should have spelled that out more clearly.

wisconsincougs

4/21/15 10:22pm

I didn't post a "role player" option. Just bust or success. You created that.

HawkCat

4/21/15 10:38pm

So wrong on Rogers and Austin.

Y'zFan

4/21/15 8:33am

Because Rogers isn't a big.

southernfriedcougar

4/21/15 10:49am

I think we may need to address the definition of a bust

gww687

4/21/15 9:25am

This post shows an absolute lack of understanding of how rare good bigs are and

PhilPete

exactly, when asked for a list of really good lds bigs that rose missed on

GSwarriorcoug

4/21/15 5:57pm

So rare that even USU has produced more in the same time span.

Spencer nelson graduated the year before rose got the job

concolor couguar

Question isn't BEST big, it's how many.

HawkCat

4/21/15 9:23pm

actually the question I asked was who was best

Lets take a look at those guys.

GSwarriorcoug

What about Arujo, Plaisted, Burgess

LasVegasBlue

4/21/15 10:46am

Hoffa and Burgess played for Cleve. Plaisted signed w Cleve, played for Rose

wisconsincougs

4/21/15 11:07am

Again, I love how you expect Rose to have recruited and developed a big man

GSwarriorcoug

4/21/15 5:39pm

Where did I say that?

You keep citing that he has had 10 years to do it. Explain to me how you
