Kind of fun that Ainge gets to scout a legit prospect for the jazz at his

12:36pm

All of this is just about expensing/deducting his BYU ticket/parking costs.

DirtyWater

12:37pm

I would imagine the number of scouts at BYU games will be at an all-time high. Something recruits should note.

The 435

12:40pm

Not since the Jimmers Sr year has there been this much hype for BYU in the

bigbossbyu

12:32pm

NHL home opener will probably be bigger. But MC will be amazing.

Stucoug83

12:34pm

Really need a big. Does this make Burke look at KYU more or less. Personally, I’d like someone with more experience

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.

GfB

12:45pm

KYU? Let’s make some shirts!

This is the guy if he pulls out of the draft

Hate to say it but many thinking it, Trey Stewart might be on the outside now

MajorZeus

12:28pm

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

mulletino

12:30pm

Not disputing a good teammate and KY making something out of him. But Trey has

Let the coaches decide.

Wait, they decide???

I meant to respond to the post above you. I agree with you that there is no

Archaea

All he has to do is elevate himself to average in one single offensive area.

Mitty

12:42pm

I know they haven't played as a team YET, but I am honestly stoked to see Demin,

BYU I Bleed Blue

12:26pm

Saunders is going to start

AF Cougar

12:28pm

Demin driving, drawing defense, and dishing to a Keita dunk is gonna be dynamic

Chemistry may take some time to develop. I wish we had a summer trip abroad.

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

seco03

On paper, is there a better combo for coach/big booster than KY/RS for NBA

Who’s she talking about?

HimmerFredette

12:19pm

Whoever ends up committing within the next 1-3 wks

CougarCanuck76

It is either Mags or the player from Italy.

Archaea

Who’s from Italy

HimmerFredette

12:21pm

It's a mystery player whose name

Archaea

It’s this guy. He’s a bit undersized but super athletic. Can jump out of the gym

I don't see the risk as you. BYU has matured since Crowton

BYUheaven

Our roster is already significantly better than last year

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

Koz will not be starting. If he does we are in trouble at that position.

The version of Khalifa we got in March was not at all good.

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

12:05pm

This is very true.

Depends on scheme for Keita. Better defender and rim runner, worse passer

arcawley

12:05pm

Does Keiba have a transfer rating?

Viva Campeche

12:10pm

High school ratings have Keiba as the better player

Viva Campeche

12:15pm

I think we'll have to see how each contributes - different players

Nodak Cougar

12:13pm

Keiba is better than end-of-season Khalifa. Plus, Khalifa won't be playing

We already are in trouble at the 4. Ergo, Koz will get a ton of minutes
