Gonzaga has irrelevant players every year

I think Jesse will be good but it's not like they have fourteen McDonald's AA every year. Somebody on the team has to get low or no minutes. Just the math of it all.

Elders Quorum pres showed me this video of Coach Few's comments about Jesse Wade

Why doesn't Coach Rose recruit internationally?

TNT

3/19/17 3:37pm

Look at that St. Mary's team. A bunch of Crocodile Dundees

TNT

3/19/17 3:42pm

Is there more to this story?

Z-rex

3/19/17 3:42pm

He committed between his sophomore and junior year's. Junior/senior year

AltaCougar79

3/19/17 3:46pm

We offered Mika before anyone else when he was at Wasatch, same with F. Jackson

ayfan

3/19/17 4:19pm

You mean when Mika was at Waterford?

MantiCoug

3/19/17 4:26pm

LP's Jackson had 'committed.' + Is he better than Emery and Haws? TBD!

MichCoug

3/19/17 3:43pm

If he's good enough for Gonzaga, what do you think? They're relevant every year

Gonzaga has irrelevant players every year

Big Daddy D

3/19/17 4:00pm

So are you saying you think Wade will be irrelevant at Gonzaga?

AltaCougar79

3/19/17 5:11pm

Misplaced response:

Big Daddy D

3/19/17 6:25pm

"All our eggs in the Lone Peak basket" doesn't make a lot of sense. We brought in two other

The Dude Abides

3/19/17 4:16pm

Out of 13 players we had 5 who could actually score. 3 were from Lone Peak

ayfan

3/19/17 4:28pm

I'm just saying it's absurd to look at the situation with Coach Few and Rose

AltaCougar79

3/19/17 5:26pm

What logic do you disagree with?

ayfan

3/19/17 7:48pm

But by all means let continue to encourage the "hero ball" mentality with these

AltaCougar79

3/19/17 5:29pm

Relevant or not, our kids sure haven't looked inferior in Spokane 3 years runnin

mantis mutu

3/19/17 6:23pm

No, I'm telling you the fact that is at Gonzaga is not evidence

Big Daddy D

3/19/17 6:23pm

Yes it is most definitely conjecture on your part and I think you've had too

AltaCougar79

3/20/17 1:34am

I don't know what is "kool-aidy" about saying Few

Big Daddy D

3/20/17 8:12am

This is 100% correct

conflictedcoug

3/19/17 9:12pm

We only had one available scholarship and it was him or Frank Jackson

ayfan

3/19/17 3:45pm

He might have been under 6'0 then but my EQP said he's 6'2" now

AltaCougar79

3/19/17 3:54pm

If true, that is significant

Big Daddy D

The visiting teaching coordinator in my ward says he is short and fat.

byubyu

3/19/17 4:16pm

We measure kids in Elders Quorum now?

The Dude Abides

3/19/17 4:19pm

But he's already signed now. Hindsight...... Yes, we could really use him now but no way is this a miss

This coaching staff went ALL IN on the Lone Peak hype.

Gerald-DeGroot

3/19/17 3:45pm

Probably shouldn't have gone after those top 100 guys. That would have gone over well around here.

The Dude Abides

3/19/17 4:20pm

Did I say they shouldn't have got the top 100 guys?

Gerald-DeGroot

3/19/17 5:17pm

Who are the bench warmers from LP riding the bench aside from Frampton?

Northern Blue

3/19/17 4:57pm

Fixed

Gerald-DeGroot

3/19/17 5:22pm

Eric was my old boss for my pre-dental school job. Great guy and they were

Cabadapeste

3/19/17 3:49pm

Yay. Good for him and them. So happy to hear that our loss is Zags gain.

Gerald-DeGroot

3/19/17 3:52pm

Still a BYU family. Just all in on Gonzaga basketball, as they should be.

Chambana Coug

3/19/17 7:07pm

Any chance he might transfer to BYU after his mission???

Sooner Cougar

3/19/17 4:04pm

No.

Oatmeal

3/20/17 8:08am

Hindsight is 2020. You had Frank Jackson committed.

Epileptic Beagle

3/19/17 4:05pm

This. Wade committed to the Zags after Jackson committed to us, and before

NewMexiCoug

3/19/17 4:19pm

People are right that it was unfortunate, but it's not like it was

Epileptic Beagle

3/19/17 4:23pm

Did Rose put all his eggs in the LP basket?

HighHorse

3/19/17 4:10pm

What does that even mean? First of all, it's not like we wouldn't have wanted the Lone Peak kids. Fans would have been

The Dude Abides

3/19/17 4:14pm

Dude. Just because you put all your eggs in one basket doesn't mean you were

Gerald-DeGroot

3/19/17 5:28pm

3 guys not from Lone Peak. Yoeli, Dastrup,Baxter. We had to get the Lone Peak kids. So first,

The Dude Abides

3/19/17 5:41pm

I agree with what your saying on the reaction. We needed to get those eggs. Does

Gerald-DeGroot

3/19/17 5:52pm

Frampton is a walk on, we have always had walk-ons and most of them never

ayfan

3/19/17 7:52pm

LOL. So Rose should have said, "I'm only taking one too 100 kid because I'd hate

Epileptic Beagle

3/19/17 6:09pm

Am I not talking clearly? I never said they shouldn't have recruited all

Gerald-DeGroot

3/19/17 6:47pm

So your gripe is with Frampton, a walk on who barely played? There are much

Epileptic Beagle

3/19/17 8:40pm

Has our team gotten worse or better since Quincy got here?

Gerald-DeGroot

3/20/17 1:10am

People won't believe or admit it but the D stats are better. He's only had two seasons

soupie

3/20/17 7:15am

Look, I don't know whether Quincy is the answer or not. The point is, he has

Epileptic Beagle

3/20/17 10:27am

I can't keep arguing with you if you're gonna keep straw man'in what

Gerald-DeGroot

3/20/17 5:42pm

Then just stop. Your argument is a dumb one anyway

Epileptic Beagle

3/20/17 6:00pm

Lol. You don't even know what I'm arguing!?

Gerald-DeGroot

3/20/17 6:53pm

Yes. 4 had offers and we have one walk-on from that

kansascougar

These analogies help TNT understand

TNT

3/19/17 4:49pm

I'm pleased that somebody got it!

HighHorse

3/19/17 4:51pm

Absolutely. When it comes to sound quality LP's are epic

TNT

3/19/17 4:53pm

The issue was Jackson bailing on us. We had Jackson and Wade went elsewhere.

kotacoug

3/19/17 4:55pm

Probably should have still offered Wade and found a spot for him.....

beauso79

3/19/17 5:02pm

Who is the best Wade or Harding? Harding fits into the signing equation.

His sister is an amazing soccer player. Plays for Jr. National team. Committed to BYU very early. They're a BYU family.

the Typical BYU story. BYU IDs and offers phenomenal talent early, decommits

byu1

3/19/17 7:38pm

A friend of mine's little sister was dating him through the recruiting process

Pride

3/20/17 10:14am

If he really wanted to be at BYU, he'd be at BYU

archie

3/20/17 10:54am

Why would you play for a coach who didn't prioritize you?

zagdontzig

10/26/17 1:44am

Wade already has great support with the Gonzaga students dressed
