With Keba and Burgess lost, any chance the yewts are awful their first year?

Acorn

5:09pm

Are we seeing a shift in recruiting/coaching philosophy?

downtownchrisbrown

Marcus Adams says via IG he'll announce his committment tomorrow. Hope it works out for him & his family.

Soupie Grandma Sycamore

Dallin Hall and Keba Keita need to work on Free Throws this offseason

MadHawaiian

4:59pm

In Hall's defense — he was nails down the stretch from the line vs Duquesne. There's hope there.

SinkingQuffa

5:01pm

Addition of Kemery Martin transfer from Utah then Cal. Looks like a 1 yr. Deal

Iman23

4:58pm

Just finished the match and all I can say is wow!

BYU Fan

4:54pm

We are all Dortmund fans.

HingleMcCringleberry

Eh, not really. They don't have anybody as likeable as Modric or Ancelotti

Roster breakdown

BYUheaven

4:45pm

Nice assessment. Crazy we still have 4 spots left

wisconsincougs

4:48pm

I am a lot more confident in Baker than you are.

JoeExotic

4:53pm

I’m skeptical too. He just hasn’t played in basically two years and had 3

I'm choosing to remain optimistic. BUT...

On the portal era, I’ll be worried come July

You know that moment when a homer takes it too far?

Carnac

4:35pm

Lohner who has never played a down of college football is now NFL bound?

WJCougar

4:38pm

It would not surprise me tbh

JimmyZ

4:44pm

He hasn't even played football at the high school level. I'd be very surprised

machete

4:55pm

TE is the second hardest position to learn on offense. He has an uphill climb!

cornellcoug

4:56pm

Ziggy couldn't even put on pads. He could make a practice squad.

Shore10

4:56pm

Ziggy had 3 years to learn. Lohner has a season and half an off season

machete

iirc, UFGM is on twitter saying that pretty much until the 4 deep in all

POLL: Who starts at SS week 1?

BYUfannonLDS

4:30pm

I hope it is Satuala since he is an incoming Freshmen and would be an amazing

ElkhunterUT

4:37pm

Hoping Harper stays healthy and has a great year

Cougz19

4:44pm

I like Harper a lot as well - hope he is healthy and dominates!

ElkhunterUT

4:46pm

Harper is likely the best SS but also is probably going to be needed at nickel. Damuni was a big recruit

puntersarepeople

4:54pm

Damuni has been back for a long time he played alot last year

Cougz19

5:05pm

Damuni hadn't been back for a year all of last season

puntersarepeople

5:08pm

The Keita news would be so much more fun

Carnac

4:27pm

It's so much more fun when you don't care what Ute fans think to begin with

Indy Coug

4:28pm

When you live in Utah, it is all around you. I do envy you guys who live

Carnac

4:36pm

who cares what we Ute fans think?

Strawhat4life

4:58pm

Hopefully they can continue to suck and Utah fans will stay disinterested

BYU Fan

5:01pm

Marcus Adams announcing transfer destination tomorrow

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

4:22pm

What are his options?

jvr7

4:23pm

He's allegedly focusing on SoCal, so I'm guessing all of them are in play

Indy Coug

4:23pm

I’d be surprised if USC, UCLA, and SDSU are in play. I think he goes WCC or to

rivercitycoug

4:35pm

I am surprised that Long Beach hasn't been mentioned of the stuff I have seen.

BYUheaven

4:46pm

USC and UCLA have been mentioned, but wondering if it's as a walk-on. Most the

jreid191

4:48pm

What if he surprised us by coming back to BYU

There's a certain CONCACAF country missing from this list

The Jets drafted a gun-slinger and made him play game manager.

When do we get to vote Ryan?

CAROLINACOUG96

Fueger's bat signal was for...

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

4:15pm

I'm sure that UK's fans are thrilled to get a 3* guy.

TheWanderer

4:18pm

He's 6 spots ahead of Kozlowski

Indy Coug

4:19pm

I'm sure that UK's fans are thrilled to be 6 spots ahead of BYU. SIX whole spots

TheWanderer

4:26pm

Perusing BBN reaction they are quite happy with the signing. Local hero

wisconsincougs

4:28pm

What is wrong with his legs?

Junior Deputy

4:19pm

He's a right leg jumper

David Lo Pan

4:26pm

skipped leg day on his left leg but not on the right

ElkhunterUT

4:40pm

Dang, that’s a lot of puss.

Q-grr

4:53pm

RE: What is wrong with his legs?

Hup

5:02pm

I wish we could have a separate category for UK stuff so we could ignore it easier

Zenoch

4:20pm

How hard was it to ignore? You simply read the OP header and move on.

Indy Coug

4:20pm

I get that, but I don't even want to see it. But that's just me. Maybe it's time for me to turn off the NCAA BB category

Zenoch

4:25pm

You underestimate the power of CB. Every post seen demands a click

Mikey

4:32pm

Look at that photoshopped leg. 🤣

Ham

4:27pm

That is Ute-mismatched-door-handles quality.

Yukon

4:30pm

Another wing guard combo for Chandler to fight for playing time 👍🏻 hope

kotacoug

4:28pm

Actually, exactly the type of guy they want and need

Nodak Cougar

Doogal McCougar

Anyone have any ideas for lowest Auto Loan Rate in Utah right now? 6.49%?

Julius Pepperwood

4:15pm

The ROC is going to LOVE this dude

mjmill All-American

4:14pm

Meh. I think the ROC is more looking to cheer for USU players.

BYU Big12 T&F entries for the championship. Link:

The Women will likely do worse than Indoors without Lexy Halladay. Guessing the Men too.

Are the marks/times at that link all prelims?

POLL: Who starts at FS week 1?

BYUfannonLDS

4:12pm

Does anyone think the starting FS will be a portal pick up?

BYUfannonLDS

4:40pm

No, I think safety has some real depth with Harper, Alfrey, Wall, and Damuni all returning plus adding Satuala

puntersarepeople

The re-bundling continues: Disney and Warner Bros-Discovery will bundle Disney+, Hulu, and Max this summer

TCuz Coastal Elite

4:10pm

Can't wait until I can get Netflix, Disney+, Max, Hulu, prime and YouTube tv all

Cougar TD

4:11pm

We chose streaming over cable so we could pay just for the content we wanted…

Ben Swife

4:16pm

Yep... I'm joking

Cougar TD

4:59pm

Since I have Max and Hulu already, that might be good news.

Cougar-Duck

4:14pm

Sounds a lot like cable tv

Squirt

4:43pm

Does it, though? It doesn’t have any live TV.

TCuz

4:45pm

Max has had some live sports

Any good places to find quality appliances for cheaper in northern Utah, like liquidators etc? Refrigerators primarily

How far north? Hooker Appliance in North Logan. Sells scratch and dents

I'd better check my login to X. I might be logged in as TNT. It just put this in my feed.

Avery

I wouldn’t put your resume in for a basketball analytics job

BYUheaven

4:04pm

lol, yeah I’m glad you aren’t coaching. The only way to win is to put emphasis

A Drew Aitch

4:05pm

It's probably going to be very similar, given the make up of our roster

Indy Coug

4:05pm

Layups and 3s only ftw

ManicBlue

4:05pm

Go look at a typical NBA team shot chart. That's what BYU's will look like. Lot's of 3's.

Niiineteeen84

4:05pm

Honestly, we didn't have the best shooters, overall. But we were so unathletic & physically-challenged

SinkingQuffa

4:06pm

BYU's D was what was inconsistent

Dr T-bone

4:07pm

This is correct. Our D is why we struggled. It dropped off a cliff after

Mitty

4:11pm

The defensive ability of Keita is a game changer there. It fixes a big problem

BYUheaven

4:13pm

We could really use another big defensive guard like JR could have been if he'd

Mitty

4:34pm

You are going to be disappointed

JimmyZ

RE: I hope coach Young doesn’t put as much emphasis on 3s

downtownchrisbrown

We were actually very consistent, that’s why we were 2nd in the NCAA

Hall Saunders Knell Waterman Koz and Baker will all be good shooters and if we

marinact

I would not recommend watching BYU basketball from here on out then buddy

CougBlue94

4:28pm

Yeah, I hope he tries to find less efficient ways to play. Said nobody ever.

CalGTR

4:29pm

It might drop a little but a high volume will be key to our success.

JuicyJam

4:38pm

You'd rather be consistent but bad?

ochobeeguy

Reminds me of an all time freezing cold take:

royal_blue

4:47pm

Is today’s generation soft for having 4-6 week paternity leave? I get some of

Cougs or die

3:59pm

Should be longer

TCuz

4:00pm

Paternity leave for dogs?

CSoul

4:07pm

Yes and Yes

Mikey

4:00pm

So they are soft, but you still would have taken it?

Cougs or die

4:00pm

Of course

Mikey

4:03pm

So you are also soft, you just didn’t have the option? Haha I say this truly

Cougs or die

4:06pm

They aren't soft for taking it. They are soft because it exists

Mikey

4:08pm

If it's there and you don't take it you're stooopid.

fldnstrm

4:11pm

I know people that have 16 weeks. Sounds amazing.

JuicyJam

4:00pm

Soft? Like as in wimpy or something because they have extra time with

AtomicHamster

4:01pm

Yup. Was told today “back in my day I only had 3 days. You don’t need 3+ weeks

Cougs or die

4:02pm

Wow.

AtomicHamster

4:10pm

I don’t acknowledge needing extra time above and beyond what I already have to bond with the baby as a thing

JollyGreenGiant

4:18pm

This was their statement. Not my thoughts or reasons behind why or why not

Cougs or die

4:24pm

Would have definitely taken it.

530Coug

4:02pm

I get 12. Why wouldn’t I take what’s allotted?

HingleMcCringleberry

4:02pm

The point of 99% of employment is not to show how tough one is.

TheWanderer

4:02pm

We can't whine about fathers not being in homes and then complain that they are soft when they are

RSL

4:03pm

My company gave me 8. Now it's 12.

shoganai

4:03pm

My wife is about to have 19 weeks. If anything our generation is smarter and has

SpecialKC

4:03pm

I think smarter in the sense that home life has a huge impact on work life. If

Cougs or die

Is it paid for? Also, depending on the job. I couldn't be away for that amount

md7Coug

4:05pm

When my third child was born, we came home from the hospital and I dropped my wife off with

PROBcoug

4:06pm

Absolutely would have taken it. They might be "softer" for expecting more time

vagabonder

4:10pm

4-6 weeks is fine. I think beyond that is unneeded, but that's my opinion. I think the thing that

CSoul

4:10pm

In Europe it’s something like 6 months for paternity, 12 months for maternity.

CallSign

4:16pm

No one has kids in Europe. They basically have to beg people to have kids. Their businesses are also

CSoul

4:20pm

It’s a reference point. Answer lies somewhere between the extremes.

CallSign

4:41pm

We do 12 weeks paid maternity, 4 weeks paid paternity. More than that unpaid on a case by case basis.

CSoul

4:44pm

U.S. is not the other extreme. Lots of countries have much worse workers' rights

Doogal McCougar

4:46pm

Thank goodness we have better labor laws than Bangladesh! We have arrived!

TheWanderer

4:48pm

It's not a question of whether one would take it if given the option. But there are significant business costs involved

Bob Vance

4:19pm

Everything an employer gives an employee is bad for their bottom line.

TheWanderer

4:46pm

Look into attachment research and you see this is a net positive

troutmaster13

4:25pm

I highly doubt it's anything more than an emotional net positive. Kind of like when they said that there

Bob Vance

I think paid maternity/paternity leave is great. I wish I would have had it.
