I think we are too quick to give up in players.

Beo was a Freshman. He needs to develop. He may never be a starter but he may be a good guy for depth and a guy who has time in the program. Now we bring in another guy just like Beo but who has no time in the program.

I don't think he was LDS, but I could be wrong.

Beo himself is LDS. His father is not. His mother is. Last summer the reports

That was my understanding too. He also has a GF he's dated for some time.

From Dick, that's a fairly heavy-handed column.

It's a refreshing change from the cheerleading.

I believe Beo was supposed to be a walk-on this year but ended up with a scholly

He was a preferred walk on until a scholarship became available.

I didnt see much to suggest he could be an impact player, couldnt shoot 3 or FTs

You need guys like Beo long-term in order to have success. Think of guys like

I agree with your first point but disagree about the second.

I'm saying if Beo is looking for minutes he isn't going to get them from those 3

If that were required of all freshmen in college athletics, hardly anyone

I dont disagree with that but I'm thinking Beo is choosing to leave, not forced

BYUfan92

4/18/17 7:59am

But Beo had scholarship offers out of high school. I read to Eastern Washington

We've been hearing this stuff a lot lately. i don't buy it. People think Nashif's problem was toughness?

As bad as the season seemed, this team is just a titch from being really good.

Or an injury from being really bad

OC Coug

BYU did pretty well without the 4 starters that had significant injuries.

The potential role players keep leaving.

Guys like Beo are a dime a dozen. He won't be missed.

I say this every week during ministering visits.

Beo wasn't recruited to be an immediate starter. We need good bench guys

There was plenty of talent for this team to compete this past year

Sure did. What's up with him? Still on a mission?

gmj81

4/17/17 10:25pm

I'm not so sure, Opus. He had solid PG skills for a guy who was a proven scorer

mantis mutu

4/18/17 8:13am

Down the stretch he faltered a bit but early on and even...

gmj81

4/18/17 9:11am

I liked him for that reason. He came to BYU as a pure scorer and played like a pass first PG. That tells us something

roseyscenario

He's not a bad player, he's a competent player...

Those guys all graduate at some point.

Winder was a much better player than Beo, so not a good comparison

Gotcha. I agree. Really loved he & Halford fighting through being undervalued.

icecougar

Beo might have made a solid backup, but maybe Beo didn't want to be a backup.

OpusX

4/18/17 2:22pm

He came to BYU as a walk-on expecting to be a starter?

Brigham

I think he mighta been disappointed in what was given & promised him considering
