In December of 2015 I thought BYU football was about dead and basketball was

Really? I think the overall team performance caused many to overlook how strong

wisconsincougs

6/27/17 9:35pm

You make a great point about Haws... I can't stand Emery's game though.

kotacoug

6/27/17 9:39pm

I wouldn't say he's a rare type of player for BYU. If anything they get more

If you look at Emery's game log from last year, notice how his shot attempts

It is remarkable that TJ's shot % was so good for he took many poor shots. i expect him to change that for the better

I'm not so against 25 footers.

Sure, with all of those conditions, that's a good shot if they don't have a better one. i think they can get more 20'

overlooking him in what way?

Lip Gallagher

6/27/17 10:55pm

TJ is way more athletic and has way more upside than his brother, but listening to most on here you'd never know it.

slatecoug

6/27/17 11:27pm

If by way more athletic you mean lateral quickness then sure. But TJ doesnt

TBabyCougs

Yep, Tyler could jump through the roof. He was a pogostick

thebruce

And by listening to most you mean listening to a handful of complainers.

Lip Gallagher

I have seen very few people post anything complimentary of TJ and his frosh campaign.

TJ was awesome as a freshman. Add me to your list.

I'm just amazed how many have lumped TJ's and Nick's seasons into the same comment.

Good summary. Agree offense should be better. Defense is a concern. Having a hard time seeing D improving.

roseyscenario

I basically have zero expectations for the B-ball team...

PortlandCoug

Echoes my sentiments. No expectations and no excitement.

Mika is a huge, cratering, black hole loss

OU Cougar

6/27/17 10:21pm

i think Seljaas, Hardnett, and new PNR/half court system will make BYU offense better, but defense could suffer.

roseyscenario

6/28/17 7:28am

You would think Schroyer would be able to help our defense improve vs regress

beauso79

6/28/17 10:31am

Interesting. I read this thinking you were negative on Mika

Big Daddy D

What insanity

Plato

You're gonna have to add more detail if you want anyone to know what you're

Big Daddy D

I love your optimism

I really hope we see a total overhaul of the defensive mindset, as well as

Wait...what?

Heinz57

I believe Schroyer coming in will be huge

RICoug

Show me the...

Heinz57

6/28/17 5:35am

I think this team will be better than last year by quite a bit

gww687

I think Schroyer's impact on the team is going to surprise some people.

It still looks and feels like a third place WCC team.

Archaea

6/28/17 9:48am

You have to project BYU at #3, given that SMC and Zags are projected to be top 20 teams. Cougs can still be improved.

I'm trying not to be too optimistic about next season... But I think the team

thebruce

6/28/17 10:24am

Rosey, surprised you question winning 20 games next year

gww687

6/28/17 11:39am

What evidence do you have it wasn't on straight and what evidence do you

Archaea

6/28/17 12:07pm

Surprised you took that from my post. Others have said BYU won't win 20, which i think is < 1% chance. My view is

roseyscenario

6/28/17 12:52pm

Why do you believe the offense will improve?

Archaea

6/28/17 5:26pm

Gotcha, I thought you were giving us a 20 win base and I was like, "whaaaaaaat?"

gww687

6/29/17 4:37pm

Without knowing more, my prediction is:

Archaea

I think this team will be worse than last year.
