BYU is right now a basketball school with a football program

Based on what?

So what does our depth chart look like now?

brj8 All-American

11:26am

did that tall UCLA kid go elsewhere? Or is he still an option?

StraightOuttaOrem

Sounds like he's leaning towards Nebraska but still a possibility

jreid191

We still need a true big IMO, but that list keeps getting better each day.

It's a more than decent rotation right now. Still need a 4, but if we had to ...

BYU is overpaying for Egor Demin

CougarCanuck76

11:22am

How would you or anyone on this site know that?

GfB

11:23am

Could be. Well stated.

SinkingQuffa

11:23am

IF he elevates BYU to a higher level of recruiting and play, it isn't overpaying

Archaea

11:23am

This is the correct take, gotta spend some money to make money

StraightOuttaOrem

RE: BYU is overpaying for Egor Demin

Borg

11:28am

I don't know how much that really matters. Guys are hitting the portal for more

Corn Pop

11:32am

If it works out - then it wasn't overpaying.

Eddie

11:34am

Sounds like more could be coming

provoprodigy

11:21am

More are. I just wish we could know who is coming.

Archaea

11:22am

That does not mean what you and others are saying it means.

RGGeemer

11:22am

He's just referring to Demin

RGGeemer

11:23am

This. People are reading it as multi-commitments when what he said was

jreid191

11:26am

But he used the plural which creates ambiguity

Archaea

11:26am

Eh, it's the generalized one, I'm pretty sure

RGGeemer

11:31am

Yeah my brain saw it as multi commitment and not multi week

provoprodigy

11:25am

I don't think Pope could have got Demin if he stayed at BYU, but BYU proving

Shinshin

11:19am

True, even though this wasn't his intention when he left.

hooscoug

Had Pope got equal funding? Who knows? If Pope's recruiting could be judged by how many times we were Top-3 finalists

Thoughts on the 2023 MLB season? A success? MLB at its best?

Corn Pop

11:13am

My team couldn’t win when it mattered most? It’s the format’s fault! Time to change the format to bolster my team’s odds

scootsy

You can do better than that.

Corn Pop

I'm not sure that a team that led their division for most of the season then lost their last series to land a wild card

Huh, I would have guessed you thought 2023 was a success for MLB.

Not a chance. I would NEVER ask the EQ to help with that. Only close friends comfortable enough telling me no if they

BlueBlood94

11:15am

That's too bad. You're denying them the blessing of performing service.

BIG XII Coug

Not pianos though. That is a tricky move that is dangerous and requires pros.

If you were even remotely qualified to judge my situation enough to make such a comment, you wouldn't. But judge away.

That escalated quickly.

Yes, thank you. You are correct.

BlueBlood94

I'm not judging. It's a logical question.

Depends on the size of the piano. Anything bigger that a cheap, small, upright piano, pay the $150.
