You are not a big 12 quality coach. Someone with the program and infrastructure Pope has should easily be able to recruit a group of true freshman capable of that. Not exactly a high bar with this group this year and yet they are not even close to hitting it.

Holmoe is a puppet. He doesn't do anything unless told to do so. Pope was..

It’s pretty evident isn’t it?

12/8/22 10:51am

Lol. This is ridiculous. Pope isn’t getting fired this year.

We have two terrible losses and he hasn’t even lost the team yet

Yes, indeed. Things are bad and I agree, they are likely to get worse. However,

We will see. The Judkins rumors make me think otherwise

So it’s better to have to fire a coach one year into big 12 play. Every recruit

I sincerely hope you are wrong.

BYU is a tough place to recruit.

The goal right now is not to become Gonzaga. It's to beat SD and UVU.

This is such a stupid and overused excuse. I sure hope the AD don’t have this

This is also a product of the NBA moving to isolation basketball

Problem is that Pope has brought his UVU recruiting model to BYU

GerryWorld

Team is too diverse for this guy
