Request to Byu fans from the WCC fans

seryran

10/23/16 2:26pm

I hear just as much about it from Utes and other BYU haters as I do

Jericho

10/23/16 2:28pm

It's not the small gyms...It's the "empty" small gyms.

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

10/23/16 2:36pm

I like the WCC and appreciate that someone wants us....hate the refs

10/23/16 2:36pm

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

audioenvy

10/23/16 2:36pm

this. The gyms are small and don't get filled. And trust us, we don't complain

10/23/16 2:40pm

No one says Duke plays in a small gym.

cougarstolz

10/23/16 7:50pm

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

RichieRich

10/23/16 2:36pm

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

soupie

10/23/16 2:39pm

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

RichieRich

10/23/16 2:47pm

IDK. Ask Dastrup, Bryant, Yoeli etc.

soupie

10/23/16 2:49pm

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

gwalker

10/23/16 2:50pm

LOL. That's a sample size problem. We have been very fortunate to have so many

Epileptic Beagle

10/23/16 2:51pm

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

BYUtka

10/23/16 4:43pm

Winning matters more...just ask Gonzaga

84 Grad

10/23/16 2:53pm

Are you sure those are the players you want

seryran

10/23/16 4:32pm

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

cougarnerd

10/23/16 4:37pm

As a fan, you really need a reality check

Heinz57

10/23/16 5:30pm

You want to know my reality?

seryran

10/23/16 5:47pm

BYU would have landed Jabari and Jackson if they were in the

10/23/16 6:59pm

Jabari very specifically said he wanted to play for Coach K. I don't know about

Coach K has said time and time again he'd become LDS & be at BYU if they were P5

ryebrye

10/23/16 8:31pm

I don't think anyone is trying to slight Gonzaga. Most all of us respect your

cougarnerd

10/23/16 8:10pm

Of course it is. 18 year old kids care about that stuff and I want the best possible ones I can get.

10/23/16 6:30pm

Solid post, until we win a WCC championship we do look insecure with HS gym talk

DumpsterFire

10/23/16 2:37pm

Seriously. I know we all expected to destroy the WCC but we haven't won a single

Jericho

10/23/16 2:39pm

But that has WAY more to do with Gonzaga than the rest of the WCC. They are

Epileptic Beagle

10/23/16 2:57pm

Gonzaga has an uncanny ability to reload but BYU basketball hasn't been

Jericho

10/23/16 3:05pm

That's the point tho. BYU hasn't been that great and they would be at the top

Epileptic Beagle

10/23/16 3:07pm

And since we aren't, we have nothing we can say...

Jericho

10/23/16 3:41pm

Yes, it's been a vexing problem...

icecougar

10/23/16 6:36pm

So when did we have those really good bigs and crappy guards?

HootnHoller

10/24/16 2:00am

2011-12 we had Brandon Davies, Charles Abouo, Noah Hartsock and...

icecougar

10/24/16 12:09pm

I don't even know what the complaint is about.

Tricky

10/24/16 10:47am

I have defended the WCC including the gym sizes every chance I get.

Sure, why not? Love that scene from Hoosiers.

soupie

10/24/16 7:17am

Since you bring it up, here are the frustrations with the WCC

cougareugene

10/23/16 2:39pm

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

seryran

10/23/16 3:58pm

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

10/23/16 4:44pm

^only knows 5 years of WCC history, and doesn't remember MWC history accurately

Schultz is back

10/23/16 6:07pm

Wrong.

cougareugene

^^I love the MWC. I have tons of friends in the MW. They love me in the MWC.

I don't share your love of the MWC. Sorry.

Well said. I think being respectful is very important.

I think those types of comments, which I myself have made,

ChiCityCoug

We can't complain about needing more competitive games until

10/23/16 3:14pm

Agreed, I just wonder if it is hard for our payers to get up for some games.

It's a small percentage. The vast majority of us couldn't care less about

Bob Vance

10/23/16 2:50pm

Honestly, I don't think gym size is as much of an issue as the layout.

As I always say.. The court is the same size.

I really liked the offseason coaching hires in the WCC........

mokelembembe

10/23/16 3:07pm

Give them a couple of years and they'll be tough outs soon enough.

seryran

Most fans don't care. The vocal minority cares. I just want great competition and don't care

ocmyhome

Why doesn't gonzaga play byu in the Spokane arena every year?

Mtspokanecoug

10/23/16 3:14pm

The Kennel is considered one of the top places to play at

seryran

10/23/16 3:50pm

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

Schultz is back

10/23/16 6:17pm

So how would you explain the WCC tournament in Vegas?

seryran

10/23/16 6:42pm

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

Schultz is back

10/23/16 7:43pm

I know a ton of BYU fans and students who can't get tickets to the WCC tourney

cougareugene

10/23/16 9:58pm

Size always matters.

10/23/16 3:21pm

And to echo others, outside of Gonzaga, St Mary's and BYU,

10/23/16 3:24pm

I like the empty small gyms because it is so easy to get s ticket. But losing

I love EVERYTHING about the WCC except the level of play at times.

mantis mutu

10/23/16 3:22pm

We can't win the freaking conference, please don't take our huge arena pride

Bluedarts

10/23/16 3:23pm

The real problem isn't the size of the gyms but rather how empty the gyms are.

10/23/16 3:34pm

I just want to make the tournament. Mark Few called out the conference for

10/23/16 3:51pm

Trust me I'm all for complaining how bad these teams are.

seryran

10/23/16 4:35pm

BYU fans are not "literally" the only ones who knock your courts. You think it's a big recruiting pitch?

10/23/16 3:51pm

I can assure you that you don't want those players then.

seryran

10/23/16 4:10pm

Lol.

10/23/16 4:52pm

Agreed. The "high school gym" thing is and always has been dumb. Just like a lot

You don't think recruits watching BYU play in front of 1000 fans in a HS type

It's not the gyms I'm worried about. I'm more concerned with officiating

Harrison0Yfan

10/23/16 4:12pm

For me I have no problem with the kennel

The Maestro

10/23/16 4:35pm

That's a perfectly good point to make

seryran

10/23/16 4:38pm

I don't think people are referring to the Kennel when they say "high school gym"

shakinbaker

10/23/16 4:39pm

No P5 team considered any other WCC team for expansion

Heinz57

10/23/16 5:20pm

It's odd to say no P5 conference considered any other WCC school. It's obvious

It isn't just about football, it is the entire BYU sports
