10:15am

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

CycloneCoug

12:59pm

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

kimdaddy35

12:58pm

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

Booya Grandma

12:57pm

You don't think Hall was?

RGGeemer

12:57pm

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

ldssdl

12:56pm

Increasingly clear that sports are unsustainable at Utah

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

IF we can get Robinson back, our roster would be top tier. Easily preseason top

I don't understand why we just let Waterman walk away so easily.

ChubbyMoose

12:49pm

Why do you think we did?

RGGeemer

12:50pm

How do you know how easy it was?

Indy Coug

12:50pm

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

12:50pm

Should we have tied him up and locked him away?

Carnac

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

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

12:53pm

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

puntersarepeople

12:58pm

Huh? Jax?

RGGeemer

12:59pm

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

SinkingQuffa

12:56pm

Robinson was maybe the laziest defender on the team.

Blue2thebone Intervention Needed

12:30pm

So you're looking for a 6"10+ big with skills and experience?

GfB

12:31pm

Yeah, looking for Waterman. Wish Could have kept him

Blue2thebone

12:35pm

Waterman plays nothing like a big. His physicality (or lack thereof) is his biggest challenge.

He should transfer to UVU Utah state or if none of those teams have spots, he could always go to Utah as a last resort

Blue2thebone

12:29pm

Why? He’s a senior and we still have 3 spots open. He’s been a good teammate and KY may pull something out of him

Saunders is going to start

Fous and Keita aren't going to be on the floor together
