I love the Cougs and I've loved Dave Rose, but I'm awfully worried about all the guys that have left / been run out of the program the last couple of years.

A week after Neilson torched BYU for 25+ points, he lit Utah up tonight for 28 points and 15 boards. Are we sure that's a guy that couldn't contribute to the team this year? Really?

BYU has plenty of challenges this year with a very young team that has is dealing with very high (way TOO high) of expectations, but I do think some of their challenges are self-inflicted. A lot of talent has been run out of the program the last few years for what seems to me to be no good reason, and I think this team would be a LOT better if those guys were still in the program.

Anyone understand what has caused all these players to leave?

PS - is Pope on track so far to be the best coach in the State?
