Here's something that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face:

2016-2017 starting five:
Nick Emery - SO
TJ Haws - FR
Jake Toolson - JR
Eric Mika - SO
Corbin Kaufusi - JR

Coming off the bench (in no particular order):
Payton Dastrup - FR
Elijah Bryant - SO
Jordan Chatman - SO
Cory Calvert - JR
Jakob Hartsock - SO
Kyle Davis - SR
Jamal Aytes - JR

That, my friends, is a freaking awesome starting five with a deeeeeep bench. If this doesn't make you happy, go see your family doctor--you may not have a pulse.

Here's something that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face:

I don't think your starting 5 is accurate

thebruce

8/4/15 10:32am

Kyle Davis will be starting.

thebruce

8/4/15 10:33am

It depends how fast Mika gets in shape. His physical talents are immense

dixdog

8/4/15 10:36am

Mika will be starting too.

thebruce

8/4/15 10:36am

Kyle will be the best post scorer this year. I expect Kaufusi to be a force on

dixdog

8/4/15 10:38am

Could be right. I chose Corbin over Kyle, but it'll probably be fluid.

Ham

8/4/15 10:37am

it won't be fluid. Davis starts and plays a ton of minutes.

Bluforever

8/4/15 2:27pm

Davis will be the only senior, likely the team leader, and probably best player

roseyscenario

8/4/15 11:55am

I dont know...I think 2016-17 could be a really good team.

8/4/15 3:47pm

you could be right.

roseyscenario

8/4/15 4:49pm

Definitely not. There's way a Frosh RM TJ Haws will be starting over guys

8/4/15 10:38am

I wouldn't count Haws out. He's the best recruit BYU has had the past few years.

dixdog

8/4/15 10:39am

Haws is very, very skilled. I believe he will be a special player at BYU.

8/4/15 2:16pm

Haws is not only very skilled but has a competitive fire and motor that

Bluforever

8/4/15 2:39pm

That's what I love most about him.

Ham

8/4/15 2:41pm

totally agree – opposing teams are going to HATE the Mika/Haws/Emery teams

SingleStrapBackpack

8/4/15 3:58pm

There's no question he'll see the floor. I'd have him on the court frequently

8/4/15 4:02pm

I disagree. Haws is going to be a special player from day one.

Ham

8/4/15 10:47am

I think it is a tossup with Haws...so I won't argue it either way.

thebruce

8/4/15 11:07am

I think Mika will start over Kaufusi, and Davis will start over Dastrup.

8/4/15 2:21pm

Until Corbin finds some hands I agree.

mantis mutu

8/4/15 5:32pm

I tend to agree with you, but let's all step back a sec

SingleStrapBackpack

8/4/15 12:39pm

No. I watched TJ play against BYU starters when he was a sophy in HS and he

Big Daddy D

8/4/15 5:51pm

Toolson has to prove himself. Bryant, Chapman or someone else could be there too

dixdog

8/4/15 10:45am

Chapman is playing for Utah, not BYU

kC Cougar

8/4/15 1:08pm

Chatman, sorry.

dixdog

8/4/15 1:29pm

No offense intended (in case you are a family member) but if Jake is

mtnKat

8/4/15 12:16pm

I'm actually excited about Toolson, think he could be a good 3 pt bomber for us

BYUfan92

8/4/15 12:53pm

Jake is going to be very good. Just wait.

Ham

8/4/15 2:04pm

I agree. And I believe we'll begin to see it this coming year.

Bluforever

8/4/15 2:30pm

RE: No offense intended (in case you are a family member) but if Jake is

Bullrider

8/4/15 3:11pm

Why would Toolson and CK put a smile on anyone's face?

Ash

8/4/15 1:36pm

What's with all the Jake hate? I think he'll end up contributing significantly

8/4/15 2:31pm

Having watched a lot of practices last season I know that

Ash

Close, but still smiling.

bstod

8/4/15 2:53pm

Aytes can't be discounted either.

dixdog

8/4/15 3:00pm

I agree with bstod on his starting lineup. and to think taht guys like seljaas

cybertiger7

8/4/15 3:23pm

I could see them bringing Mika off the bench but getting max minutes

Big Daddy D

8/4/15 6:13pm

I agree. I wonder if the spacing would be better if Mika came off the bench

ldssdl

8/4/15 6:15pm

No chance...

bstod

8/4/15 8:44pm

They actually already did that iirc

Big Daddy D

8/4/15 8:58pm

After an injury for a few games...not long term

bstod

8/4/15 9:51pm

It was the next seven games after the UOP loss in which Eric's minutes were

I think you are underestimating Hartsock

kC Cougar

8/4/15 7:20pm

Why write off Aytes? Hasn't looked good in July is but still recovering.

roseyscenario

8/4/15 9:09pm

Adam (Ham) I like it. But I would have Davis starting at the 3 or 4.

cybertiger7

8/4/15 2:54pm

Holy crap

Harrison0Yfan

8/4/15 3:26pm

You don't think Treebeard Hamson will be around after this year?

mcnasty

8/4/15 3:48pm

The overlooked adversary that saves the day in the end. Fitting perhaps.

mantis mutu

8/4/15 5:35pm

I see Davis starting in Mikas place. W can have Corbin get the early fouls

ivanog

8/4/15 4:15pm

was it the gif of Bronco dancing that was supposed to put the smile on my face?

icecougar

8/4/15 4:17pm

Can't wait I don't even have a solid opinion who should start they all look good

8/4/15 5:23pm

Too many white dudes

youngster

Butler circa 2009

thebruce

Or Wisconsin this past year. Talent is talent. And some of these kids have

mantis mutu

8/4/15 6:36pm

You know what's cooler then that? We will have them back for 2017-2018

8/4/15 11:19pm

We are pretty well set up for the next 6 years

8/4/15 11:19pm

so much speculation. only 1 of those has actually shown us that he can be good.

COACHdrn

8/5/15 2:44am

most have shown they can be good.
