My take? This blows.

He had a bad game at the end but was solid otherwise. Whether he'd be a star or not remained to be seen. I'm really sad to see this.

Beo response to the Harmon article.

4/18/17 3:18pm

Expected more? BYU did of him too. Also, His schollie was a 1=year commitment, so BYU met it.

4/18/17 3:20pm

I disagree that "there is nothing wrong with it".

I disagree that there is "nothing wrong with it." It is common, but common

reagan21

4/18/17 3:24pm

HACK!

reagan21

4/18/17 3:24pm

So there is no accountability on the player for his performance?

jigidajrit

4/18/17 3:26pm

That's quite the logic leap from "nothing wrong with it". It's not all or nothin

Lance71

4/18/17 3:29pm

That's fair. Just noticed that you two were disagreeing with

jigidajrit

4/18/17 3:30pm

Some schools are moving to the 4 year guaranteed scholorship i.e. USC

Do you think that accurately depicts Beo? No way. By your standard

reagan21

4/18/17 3:30pm

I wish there were more scholarships available

jigidajrit

4/18/17 3:35pm

NOMINATED!!

4/18/17 4:21pm

The power conferences no longer pull scholarships for performance issues.

Everyman

4/18/17 3:37pm

Or, he can stay in school and pay his own way to graduate like 98% of the rest of the student body,

4/18/17 3:31pm

No. It sucks. There is something wrong with it, and it shows freshmen

reagan21

4/18/17 3:34pm

It is a 1-year offer. He got his 1 year. THe next was not renewed per the contract.

4/18/17 3:38pm

We don't really know that's the case.

Lance71

4/18/17 3:39pm

What in that statement is unknown?

dratax

4/19/17 10:53am

We don't know if he is being offered to stay on the team as a walk on.

Lance71

4/19/17 10:56am

Yes, and BYU has limited his options by pulling a scholarship in April.

reagan21

4/18/17 3:43pm

You do realize April is when this happens for hoops right? After the season is over.

4/18/17 3:48pm

you do realize that AAU coaches will pawn lower level kids on coaches for

reagan21

4/18/17 3:57pm

So because UNLV kept that kid even through a string of run ins with the law, it means BYU

Probably. It's part of the recruiting game.

This isnt football

Shteve

4/18/17 3:47pm

Doesn't have to be. It is that way for all NCAA sports. Unless the school offers says 4-years. Most are 1 year.

4/18/17 3:51pm

Referring to FCS, not scholarships. Yes, all scholarships are 1 yr.

Shteve

4/18/17 3:57pm

What a load.

Prickly Heat

4/20/17 8:33am

What if the athlete was not offered a scholarship and came as a walk on. Due to circumstances

RoaroftheCougartails

4/18/17 5:11pm

What do school do with Academic Scholarships that do not

pappabear246

4/19/17 8:29am

Or the school simply runs out of scholarships. The line has to be drawn some place.

That was a bad NIT performance, but his stats don't tell the full story.

LEHI cougar

4/18/17 5:11pm

I disagree that BYU expected more of him

teancum

BYU expected more out of a freshman? I really doubt that.

Turnpike Lane is absolutely spot on here. Not sure why people can't get that.

Personally I would have kept him on scholarship (if that was the issue). He

Dangerous

4/18/17 3:21pm

Depends on the scholarship situation. He came as a walk-on. Thought he was used way more than expected.

Is it just me, or does it seem like this type of thing is happening more than

No. Signs of a division 1 basketball team. It's not just happening at BYU.

More than usual for BYU recently, but in normal amounts for most programs.

I don't think it's a normal amount for successful programs. I'm not advocating

Asked to step aside for another scholarship? Bad for Beo family, but it's just

4/18/17 3:21pm

It's really tough when you were really a preferred walk-on all along

All of these really hurt, especially this one. I thought Beo showed real promise

LegitCoug

4/18/17 3:25pm

I thought he'd be a nice role player for years to come

donnerstag

4/18/17 3:27pm

He was a level-headed player who didn't make many mistakes.

4/18/17 3:32pm

The sad thing is that it's only a business for the school not for the kids

thebruce

4/18/17 3:29pm

Not only is this common for D1 sports ... it's common for schollies PERIOD.

runnincoug

4/18/17 3:30pm

The tough thing here is that we will probably never see the other side of the story.

TheWanderer

4/18/17 3:31pm

He should still be on the roster even if he's not on scholarship. I don't have

ayfan

4/18/17 3:32pm

my bet, he was offered to go back to walk-on status and felt slighted by that.

LEHI cougar

Tell him he will be treated like family at SUU

GeauxCougs

4/18/17 3:32pm

Was he given the chance to play as a walk-on next year?

Greg Kite's 'stache

We lose LJ Rose. If Aytes and Kaufusi are gone, I don't see why

gwalker

4/18/17 3:33pm

Kaufusi is a football schollie, not hoops, per NCAA rules.

True. Switch in Davis leaving too and you get to the same place in terms of
