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

but competent players can be got. He would never had been more than a backup, and he wasn't going to take the minutes from Emery, Haws, Bryant, PoPoola or Seljaas. He saw the writing on the wall. It's not always about how good you are, it's about where you fit.

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.

So, wait...CB told me it was just a youth problem. I'm confused. Dick seems to

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

Heard some rumors but this is first of anything public.

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.

What's this etc.? Aside from the starting 3 we got NO bench. We keep losing our

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

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

Brigham

4/18/17 7:22am

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

BYU basketball needs a total coaching over haul from top to bottom

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

Really hope thats not the case.

4/17/17 5:59pm

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

PJMort

4/17/17 6:11pm

Or an injury from being really bad

OC Coug

4/17/17 6:36pm

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.

PJMort

4/17/17 6:20pm

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

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

Short memories, that trip in Greece when Anson was a Freshman, he was launching

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

BYU doesn't have the luxury of this kind of turnover
