Yeah. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I'd like to find out though

Doubt Baker comes off the bench. He's a 25+ min player, regardless.

One of the problems is that BB recruiting is a much more sure thing than FB

Blueto

Nice uptick in recruiting. But can the discipline and coaching issues be fixed?

TNT

Only TWO 5-star commits in the entire conference?

DirtyWater

Thank you Jay Hill! Good thing he can recruit to BYU when CB tells

kimdaddy35

1:22pm

Uh . . . BYU is doing well in FB recruiting right now and more

Nodak Cougar

1:21pm

You realize neither team is actually playing right now...

Denile

1:23pm

Did BYU determine we can't compete in FB, but we can potentially compete in BB

tony

1:10pm

No. We are now in the B12 and will soon start getting that $$$. Our budget has increased for all football too.

HarlemCoug

1:11pm

Sure seems like it.

tony

1:11pm

How so? We're in peak BBall recruiting season... it's not like other teams are out there signing up a ton of elite

HarlemCoug

I'll start holding my breath for that to happen

Where our current roster stands... yeah, we really do.

SinkingQuffa

But you need to be able to defend. That is why positions matter.

You still need height or the ability to defend height. That's what a 4/5 is

With the draft hype, will Demin compete for preseason BXII freshman of the year?

CycloneCoug

12:59pm

We can only hope.

Kdubb

1:00pm

would he really be considered a top 10 pick if he wasn't in the mix for BXII

Blue Ridge

1:05pm

Of course, but he's not the top 2025 prospect in the big 12. Baylor has him

wisconsincougs

1:09pm

VJ Edgecomb is rated slightly higher, but they are equivalent level prospects.

cougarfan84

1:16pm

BYU needs a 4 that shoot and possibly play the 5 when Young wants to go 5 out

kimdaddy35

12:58pm

So we need another waterman

Blue2thebone

1:04pm

Bummed we couldn't keep Noah

RenoCoug

1:06pm

Yes. Or a Berke.

kimdaddy35

1:07pm

I'm sure Demin was promised the PG spot. He will be the 1 guard.

Booya Grandma

You don't think Hall was?

RGGeemer

Exactly gotta find a way to maximize them both and keep them both happy

Blue2thebone

1:05pm

I bet the run a 2 pg system. Pros have off guard handle the ball a bunch

Stucoug83

1:00pm

May be true but the KY offense needs multiple ball handlers and shooters on the

WallaX2

1:00pm

There really isn’t 1,2,3s anymore.

kotacoug

1:01pm

Why would BYU promise him the 1 when he is capable of playing multiple positions

cougarfan84

1:01pm

You have no idea on this.

LifeLongLakerFan

1:06pm

At Madrid, he plays more of a combo role now.

RenoCoug

1:07pm

The goal is positionless basketball, so both will have the ball a lot

Dr T-bone

1:11pm

Biggest holes I can see on this roster are a 4 and 5 who can shoot 3's and pass.

Increasingly clear that sports are unsustainable at Utah

Not to worry. The Church will help them out as needed.

Correct. Adding a rating for him would shoot BYU up those lists.

Indy Coug

I don't, but I assume Louisville paid him no more than 300k which we could have

ChubbyMoose

12:54pm

I don’t think we did, but had to prioritize NIL to get Demin

puntersarepeople

Should we have tied him up and locked him away?

Yes

TNT

1:07pm

I really wanted to see he & Knell thumb-wrestle for caboose in the rotation, too.

SinkingQuffa

12:52pm

I don't know what happened w/Aguaman, but it feels like he chose to leave more

Benfica1

12:56pm

Might not feeling forced out... but was probably seeing himself more & more outside of KY's vision for his rotation.

SinkingQuffa

1:13pm

We certainly wouldn't be the most athletic team, but that's a lot of experience & talent.

SinkingQuffa

12:50pm

I think Demin, Jax, and Richie is a much better team defensive group

puntersarepeople

12:52pm

Jax didn't play much defense last year

RGGeemer

True, but when he did he was good at it. And when it really counted he did play D

puntersarepeople

Huh? Jax?

Sure, that 1x a game he tried hard he was good. How about the other 20+ minutes?

Frankfromtheballpark

1:08pm

TNT said this during the season and took a lot of heat on CB

TNT

1:08pm

Defensively, we'll be much more versatile this year than last even if we don't bring in Jax.

Robinson was maybe the laziest defender on the team.
