Popoola to the Utes

Pretty cool that he tweeted a quote of himself.

fredetteaboutit13

4/22/17 1:21pm

I wonder where he will go in 2019...

thebruce

Nice choice, Popoola.

Given the state of BYU's program, it probably is.

AndyDwyer

4/22/17 1:28pm

didn't the Utes lose in the first round of the NIT also?

Level43

4/22/17 1:31pm

And what is the state of Utah's program?

Crush4

4/22/17 1:40pm

Two NCAA appearances in the last 3 years.

ironman1315

4/22/17 1:42pm

Wow.

Crush4

4/22/17 1:43pm

Also a coach with more who matched Rose's

ironman1315

4/22/17 1:45pm

You could also say 3 in the last 10 years. Perspective.

cougarnerd

4/22/17 1:47pm

So what is the trend in programs then?

AndyDwyer

4/22/17 1:54pm

Is 3 years enough to show a trend? Not sure we know.

cougarnerd

4/22/17 2:29pm

Not an underachieving mess

AndyDwyer

4/22/17 1:44pm

I think some ute fans may disagree.

thebruce

4/22/17 2:01pm

Especially after that loss to Oregon St.

SUAVO

4/22/17 2:13pm

I certainly do.

He had an offer to Stanford...

Byu_1988

4/22/17 1:35pm

Like idiot utefans with their non commitable offers

ironman1315

4/22/17 1:39pm

Are you UtahErrorCorrection's little brother?

Iman23

4/22/17 2:02pm

I thought he was your dupe with that name.

AndyDwyer

4/22/17 2:09pm

Nope. Just bored in a county convention listening to endless speeches.

ironman1315

4/22/17 2:11pm

Since those are the two things that are hardest for BYU to overcome in

cougarnerd

Honor code is a pretty legit excuse. A lot of people would prefer to not live the honor code. Even LDS athletes

Athletic kid, probably an easier transition to college at Utah both socially and

Mathlete

4/22/17 1:24pm

I don't think academics are an issue.

thebruce

4/22/17 1:25pm

College academics can be a step-up for most kids and the UofU is likely less

Mathlete

4/22/17 1:27pm

I'm pretty sure he was recruited by ivy league schools.

thebruce

4/22/17 1:30pm

I'm pretty sure I didn't question his intelligence

Mathlete

4/22/17 1:32pm

You did imply easier academics was likely a factor.

thebruce

4/22/17 1:36pm

You questioned his academic motivation and/or ability

Solomon Levi

4/22/17 1:40pm

Neither actually

Mathlete

4/22/17 2:06pm

What, exactly, did you mean when you said

Solomon Levi

4/22/17 2:17pm

That undergrad course work and level of competition at Utah won't be as hard

Mathlete

4/22/17 2:40pm

So academic motivation then...

Solomon Levi

4/22/17 5:13pm

I didn't say that. Reread what I wrote.

Mathlete

4/22/17 5:20pm

Why did he de-commit? How did we lose him?

Cougarfan777

4/22/17 1:25pm

Lame

BoiseBlue

4/22/17 1:29pm

I can see the signs already...

coug719

4/22/17 1:29pm

BYU students making vulgar jokes about someone's name? Unlikely.

spoxjox

4/22/17 1:32pm

Who says it will be students?

LDTemplar

4/22/17 1:33pm

Idk if my examples are really vulgar?

coug719

4/22/17 1:49pm

He's subconsciously got his eyes closed in denial about Coach 80k and his future

DumpsterFire

4/22/17 1:29pm

Coach Rose is so good at recruiting!

Dscharf

4/22/17 1:30pm

Are we sure about that?

IceBlueCoug

4/22/17 2:08pm

Nothing like playing for a coach the majority of players can't stand.

LaVellIfIKnow

4/22/17 1:30pm

The irony is strong here.

jrj84105

4/22/17 1:31pm

Yeah, that surprises me

Cougar TD

4/22/17 1:39pm

I didn't even realize the Utes were going after him?

ColumbusCoug

4/22/17 1:37pm

Probably. Kid is an opportunist.

thebruce

4/22/17 1:59pm

A good opportunity for him this late in the game. He will likely play more...

icecougar

4/22/17 2:42pm

Why couldn't he choose a pic where his eyes are open?

fredetteaboutit13

4/22/17 1:38pm

Well, that sucks.

cougarnerd

4/22/17 1:41pm

That is too bad, makes you wonder what the players think of the BYU program.

Blue for Life

4/22/17 1:44pm

Good, it will be nice to beat him

I'mBatman

4/22/17 1:46pm

Well....poo!

icecougar

4/22/17 1:57pm

Nice choice, Lov... err Popoola

monkeycowboy

4/22/17 1:59pm

This kid committed to BYU months ago but things soon went silent on all fronts.

PortlandBlue

4/22/17 1:59pm

Would have liked to have him, but it is what it is. GO COUGS!

baishel44

4/22/17 2:01pm

Lame.....Hope Rose saw the writing on the wall months ago

beauso79

4/22/17 2:02pm

I wish him poor luck....

LDTemplar

4/22/17 2:04pm

Big loss

Cougarclaw

4/22/17 2:06pm

Big loss is questionable

gww687

4/22/17 2:12pm

We need depth. We need players. This is a big loss.

RSLCoug

4/22/17 2:22pm

Desperately need players like him. I agree.

The Dude Abides

4/22/17 2:23pm

Hope he sucks it up

Backcountry

4/22/17 2:33pm

Well that sucks. Hard to know but seems like coaches have up on him.

4/22/17 3:12pm

Just the type of player we needed. Too bad. Wonder how long he stays at Utah

Dr T-bone

4/22/17 3:30pm

Nice choice kid, sucked in by the evil empire

pegushin

4/22/17 3:38pm

Popoola is huge boom or bust

chodilicus

4/23/17 9:36pm

I'm not sure I believe that we cooled on Popoola
