Fair points but we're not the only ones that say it and not all say it at that

I don't have a problem with small gyms--so long as they are FULL.

If you don't think gym size and opponent strength matters to recruits, you're crazy.
RichieRich

Because BYU's recruiting classes have been going down hill while in WCC.

How long can we rely on Lone Peak to supply our talent? Our main talent is Lone Peak/legacy guys right now.
RichieRich

IDK. Ask Dastrup, Bryant, Yoeli etc.

Lone Peak has been a great pipeline. The last couple of years have shown talent

Is it the gym sizes or the sloppy inefficient system we run on the team?

Recruits that care about quality of opponents and game experience? Isn't that

It's hard to recruit when the chances are slim to make the tournament
seryran

Did Watson transfer?
BYU '80
10/23/16 4:05pm
Yes, he transferred to SDSU. Didn't want to play in an empty gym at USF
cougareugene
10/23/16 4:06pm
So,it sounds like you are saying that it is hopeless for the bottom schools?
cougareugene
10/23/16 4:05pm
It's hard to shame schools fans when the team isn't over .500
seryran
10/23/16 4:30pm
Is it that, or the history of one and done?
BYUtka

seryran

I'm pretty sure this has everything to do with Gonzaga being a great team
Bluedarts
10/23/16 3:52pm
Because they would lose some of their competitive advantage

So how would you explain the WCC tournament in Vegas?

I'm not saying BYU would get a large portion, just a larger portion.
