We needed depth up front and Brandon also could score.

You have some good bball insights but you are way off base on this one. BYU was FF bound but for the inordinate punishment and its destructive timing.

Final Four would've happened w/ Davies, imo

The injuries in Jimmers senior year were brutal. Not just Davies.

Collinsworth's injury was very damaging

Sooooooo overhyped. Especially Haws. Good yewt.

Gerald-DeGroot

And let me clarify. Haws is a good player. But the HYPE was unreal.

National rank of 55 for TJ Haws.

A good team starts with good recruiting. Those guys were/are all super talented.

Yes, they were/are. But it takes more than talent to win

I'm gonna say this as one pretty critical of the LDS Church/religion:

Are you Mormon? Just curious.

I would say most definitely. As for my inner circle's opins, it depends

mantis mutu

12/13/17 1:06pm

The OP is pretty clearly talking about being a “letdown in BB,”

garyfan

12/13/17 1:32pm

And my point was we should temper our expectations due to the limitations

mantis mutu

12/13/17 1:36pm

Sorry, I missed your point. I thought you were saying

garyfan

12/13/17 1:54pm

No, bro. It was a good clarification to make.

I believe Emery didn't finish his 2 year mission, as you stated above.

Exactly. What the? Did people really expect a Fab5 final four run?

teancum

12/13/17 1:59pm

Neither were letdowns. We don't know 2011 would've been different with Davies.

Gerald-DeGroot

It wasn't the rebounds, it was the scoring inside that we missed without Davies

LP3 was definitely a let down... I can't say the same for Davies though.
