JasonJDelmonico Walk-on

Christian Po'Poola was on with th Bill Reilly this afternoon. He basically said

the reason he didn't end up at BYU was that he didn't want to be behind Emery and Haws, two guys that need/want the ball in their hands. Po'Poola said he wants the ball in his hands and he feels he had a better shot at doing that at Utah than BYU right now.

I don't think that's earth-shattering news, but it does make me wonder how many other recruits have been scared off by the legend on the "LP-3" and their national high school basketball title. For instance, is that why the Wade kid from Davis High who is on a mission signed with Gonzaga instead of us?

2 of the 4 guards that he'd compete with are 2/3 of the LP3

That's not exactly what happened with Wade.

Lame. If he wants the ball in his hands, he just needs to prove he deserves it.

And who's going to really give him that chance? Do you really think

Seriously? Looks to me like they gave Childs a chance as a freshman.

Childs wasn't/isn't a guard.

No but Mika, Kaufusi, and Dastrup were all returning. The coaches are going to

If he outplays the competition, he plays. To think otherwise is absurd.

4/24/17 3:49pm

He would be a freshman, so he would be right is that opinion.

That's not necessarily true. Talent usually needs the right opportunity to

If that's the reason, fine. But it all smacks of selfishness..

At least incompetence of knowing where his skill set puts him to start in DI A.

No big deal. If you or your kid were a really good ball player, you'd probably want to ensure you have an opportunity to

Thank you for this report. At least there's that. Still wish he would have come to BYU

He'd compete just fine and potentially take Emery's starting spot year 1 if he's

In other words, he's afraid of competition. Sounds like a Yewt to me.
