he might not be a super star, but he's a great addition and exactly what this team was lacking IMO.

What's wrong with BYU fans?

Pssst....most don't know anything about sports and just like complaining.

The majority of this board is obviously the exception, however.

That's why I'm here. I actually have never seen BYU play, but I love to complain

making us all sound like idiots doesn't really help either.

Sincere Q: why the hype over EB? His shooting % is not good at all, from the

Seriously? A true Freshman contributing AT ALL is a big deal.

Unless you're Kentucky in which case you're expected to start

it's college basketball, freshman contribute all the time

a true freshman starter at Elon... a fantastic pickup for BYU?

blucoug18

7/29/15 10:31am

Bryant or Martineau? Bryant or Cusick? I'll take Bryant. Great pickup.

Sirrinem

7/29/15 10:37am

Straw man? This isn't about Bryant vs. Martineau. It's about Bryant

runnincoug

7/29/15 10:42am

He was the leading scorer and focus of the D without any support. FG% gonna drop

Reasonable1

7/29/15 12:45pm

He might play the Jackson emery role: tough D, not volume shooter. Slasher.

Reasonable1

7/29/15 12:48pm

so your saying your expectations are not that high?

That's not what I'm saying at all.

I think there's a good chance Bryant starts several games as a Sophomore at BYU.

7/29/15 3:26pm

I don't see alot of "hype". I see a certain amount of excitement, though.

7/29/15 10:13am

Didn't have the luxury of taking open shots. Had to create his own shots, often

why I like him...

also....we beat Butler, texas a&m, and Miami for him.

He's proven more than any of the guys everybody here seems to think are

Averaged 18.5 minutes, 7.0 points, 1.7 assists and 1.1 rebounds; guesses on who?

Ycrazy

No hype. Measured per Tim LaComb's tweet "We just got better today." That's it

People are excited for the same reason that lots of people wanted Evan Payne

SingleStrapBackpack

7/29/15 10:43am

I'll agree with this. I liked Bartley, but it does seem EB is more ready to take

Another possible wild card is this...

IMO the most important thing for EB to contribute

thebruce

this sounds reasonable, and a very useful contribution.

runnincoug

7/29/15 12:10pm

Would love to see EB in that role. But he finished 3rd in nation

roseyscenario

either way, can't wait to see what he brings.

thebruce

What hype?

I agree ... Bryant is a very good addition to the bball team and deserves

Those comments are just dumb, but expectations on Bryant should be tempered
