jvr7 All-American

10:18am

This is crazy

ballen

10:18am

BYU locked up a top 5 class in the country. This is after:

spidercoug

10:18am

Whelp…work today will consist of me just hitting the refresh button on CB.

cougarfanatic All-American

10:17am

Pretty insane that most years the 9th guy of a byu rotation barely deserves a D1

UnoDoctor

10:16am

Every scholarship player could start at another D1 school

Archaea

10:17am

First time since (fill in the blank) bball excitement surpassed football?

RockyBalboa

10:16am

Honestly, it's been this way since Jimmer

BYUCougarsFan

10:16am

LOL. Right. The entire time we were in the WCC it has been that way? LAME POST

fulano

10:18am

It's been surpassed since the TCU FB game last year

GlutealGuy

10:18am

2023

kimdaddy35

10:18am

2019 when Mark Pope came in

RGGeemer

10:18am

So where does Catchings put our class ranking?

UNLVcougar

10:15am

Just looked into this. If other teams don't move much, we're sitting at 12th

Leonardo

10:16am

#12 composite, #25 overall, that is with Demin not having a rating

The Dark Knight

10:16am

If Kevin Young is half the coach that he is a recruiter...

Article: BYU signs 4-star talent Kanon Catchings View

[Deseret News]

10:14am

I know there are other donors giving big money but Ryan Smith seems to stick out and be leading the charge here.

Niiineteeen84 Blowhard

10:14am

Holy Crap! KY wasn't speaking in hyperbole when he said "BYU will be an NBA pipeline!" Word! The rill dill

Leaving Young right now to CB:

RE: Leaving Young right now to CB:

Hooda88

10:16am

Just think about this....Catchings turned down two final four teams to come to BYU.

jvr7 All-American

10:13am

I'm sure a lot is due to his relationship with Fanning

RGGeemer

10:16am

Utes: "there must be a hitch in his game, or someone is offering him free socks"

Bob Vance

10:16am

So my espn app notification said Catchings is a projected 1st round

cougarfann888

10:12am

Yes

Malacis

10:13am

Right now yes.

kccougar

10:13am

Hi Siri, what is the location of the Final Four in March 2025?

Malacis

10:12am

Siri: The Final Four is in April

foofcoug

10:14am

she actually said I didn't quite catch that

Malacis

10:15am

How are BYU fans supposed to know this?

scrambled egg

10:16am

I'm embarrassed right now.

TailgateU

10:12am

All that matters is Ainge can now attend games and have the Jazz pay for it.

Hypnotoad

10:12am

Ainge:

It's A Bowling Ball

10:13am

POLL: So is it Kanon like CAN-un or Kanon like CANE-un?

SinkingQuffa Intervention Needed

10:12am

Early returns: we Cougs need some edjumacation on the matter.

SinkingQuffa

10:14am

Are all scholarships filled now or is there still one left?

rebelCoug

10:09am

One left.

LifeLongLakerFan

10:10am

1 more. I'm hoping for a more traditional big man, but at this point it would

RGGeemer

10:11am

I thought about that this morning and it would be icing on the gravy

EM_Puma

10:12am

Does Worthington have any eligibility left?

GlutealGuy

10:13am

You will approve of the new guy.

Archaea

10:15am

Imagine the hype if AJ comes next year

arizonacougarfan

10:09am

When he comes here

Cougar TD this morning

Cougar TD

10:08am

Stating the obvious, but this is recruiting based on KY's NBA reputation

The Dark Knight

10:08am

If Demin was ranked (for this I had him rated as #10 high schooler), BYU would

spidercoug

10:08am

Holy crap

BYUCougarsFan

10:08am

He'll be ranked in just a bit, they wait for the foreign guys to sign

tacallaway

10:08am

Even if they underrate Demin:

spidercoug

10:15am

Chew on that Utah!

EM_Puma

10:16am

Is this any good?

mjmill All-American

10:07am

My most optimistic times for BYU bball in my lifetime:

Skeeziks

10:07am

Glorious.

Coug123

10:07am

In light of our branding of KY, let's offer up KC as the new reference

MajorZeus

BYU Bball is putting on its big boy pants

Huge Manatee

Is that real video footage? If so, how does that come to be?

LifeLongLakerFan

RE: Is that real video footage? If so, how does that come to be?

That is gross and glorious at the same time.

BYU Football right now!

Cougar TD

10:05am

a 4 star WR was CBed to BYU yesterday

arizonacougarfan

10:06am

He is excited for BYU basketball too

Huge Manatee

10:07am

Again, I am just joking. But what is happening on the basketball side of things

Cougar TD

10:09am

I can't remember a summer where I'm this much more excited for hoops than

westsidecoug

10:04am

that will never happen for me, but it is crazy.

Belboz

10:04am

Recruiting and NIL have left me gobsmacked.

AtomicHamster

10:04am

Sage uses CB for insights too

This is all because of him 🫶

This paragraph perfectly sums up how good its been for BYU basketball

Kolipoki

10:01am

All my children will be named Ryan Smith

carlstud

10:01am

Why not Kevin just to mix things up? Maybe throw in a Shane.

Soupie

10:02am

BYU, next time we're hanging out with Duke/Kentucky/UCONN

Unibro

10:01am

Most of us the day Pope left vs most of us right now. What is happening???!!!!

keithcoug All-American

10:00am

Not just that day but the following days when players were hitting the portal--

CougSilver

10:02am

The fun thing with these one-and-dones and the new transfer rules…

cougfanblue All-American

10:00am

Let's take a moment to recognize Tom Holmoe in all of this. The guy was ready

LifeLongLakerFan

9:59am

agreed. feels like he had a plan and was ready to pounce

Norseman

10:00am

I'm sure it helped to have a nice pile of money to throw at Young from the Pope

Huge Manatee

10:02am

And to think there is one more scholarship available. Wow. Phenomenal recruiting

vabeachcoug

9:59am

If it’s not a massive 7-ft banger with the footwork of a ballerina and the touch of a licensed masseuse…

cougfanblue

10:02am

Does all of the BYU Basketball success & seeing what money can do make you want

WaffleCheese

9:58am

You haven’t got a raise in 8 years?

allaboutthegainz

10:04am

Do you mean you haven't gotten a promotion? No annual merit or cost of living ?

fulano

10:11am

Sometimes I think about giving this all up and becoming a billionaire.

gaffer

10:14am

If you could have you would have.

Sea Chicken

10:18am

It's nice to have this talent on the roster. But I just wish BYU also had

BGRTHNUMEGO

9:57am

Maybe these players will teach them something!

Hoopster

9:59am

Finally changed home and auto insurance from Farmers to Allstate. I was with

SBB

9:57am

Progressive went down for me this year after five years of modest rate increases

Hoopster

9:58am

It is a well known strategy of the insurance companies

NanoFab Coug

10:00am

You should shop it even more frequently than that

OlanchoCoug

10:02am

Yep. I'd stick with any non-captive agency which proactively shopped

ebv

10:03am

I usually shop every other year through my broker.

RootieBoy

10:04am

Pooled risk. Everyone gets to share in the pain together even when you don’t use it

Catchings has already grown! Article lists him at 6-10!!!

CougarCanuck76

10:07am

Went to Joes Real BBQ in Gilbert for work last week. Thats some dang good bbq

Magneto

9:55am

Hopefully you got the brisket, the cheesy potatoes and the root beer cake

AZ Coug

9:57am

Next time you are in Gilbert step it up a notch at Caldwell County BBQ.

craigman

9:58am

agreed, my experience was that Caldwell was a little better

Supercoug

9:59am

It would be super cool to have Olympic trails for Golf

arnold palmer

9:55am

I had the same thought but then you’d possibly get some no names qualify.

pink22

10:08am

KY can recruit!

Archaea

9:55am

Fanning seems to be playing a big role as well

Huge Manatee

9:56am

Dunson, Burgess and Fanning!

Archaea

10:06am

I think the spike in recruiting is more about funding, but KY is clearly no slouch as a first year HC.

SinkingQuffa

10:05am

The funding just gets us to the table. I'm sure NCSt and FSU were competitive.

LifeLongLakerFan

10:09am

KY is definitely doing his part.

SinkingQuffa

10:18am

But is KY responsible for some of that funding? Why is it showing up now?

GlutealGuy

10:11am

High level talent + The BYU filter could be a really good combo. Because it's one thing to be like Calipari

mokelembembe

10:16am

TWO projected first round picks on the roster? Has that ever happened before?

The Dark Knight

9:54am

No. Not like this. Especially wing players

TNT

9:55am

Was either Kite or Roberts a 1st round pick?

Goatnapper'96

9:57am

Kite was 1st round, Roberts 2nd

GlutealGuy

10:05am

Top story on ESPN NCAAM

Niiineteeen84 Blowhard

9:53am

Holy crap. What an athletic family!!!!!!

TNT

9:55am

Best quotes of the article.

Mostlyaccurate

9:56am

That article lists him as 6'10. 247 lists him as 6-8. Which is it?

Huge Manatee

9:57am

Either way, that’s a great size for a college stretch 4.

ldssdl

10:02am

And then the BYU story below has him at 6'9

Huge Manatee

10:03am

And I've read that he's got a 35" vertical.

Mostlyaccurate

10:08am

There’s a reason he’s a projected 1st rounder.

ldssdl

10:10am

5'21"

Turn and Cough

10:13am

Geez. I just never expected to read such an article about BYU basketball.

EM_Puma

9:59am

We'll never know, but I'd love just to hear how MP feels about KY's success.

EM_Puma

10:01am

For those that like outdoor Christmas lights Bliss has their red outdoor refurb

SBB

9:53am

Hall, Egor, Richie, Catchings, Keita starting 5

arizonacougarfan

9:53am

Fouss is still the likely starter at the 5 to me. Exciting either way.

PJMort

9:56am

I think Keita starts. Both will play a lot

LakeshowCougs

10:02am

Both will play a lot but Keita is the better post defender and rim protector

arizonacougarfan

10:04am

I think Hall & Egor are the only locks to start (unless Kanon & Keba were made recruiting promises).

SinkingQuffa

9:59am

A projected FRP isn’t coming off the bench

arizonacougarfan

10:01am

To start the season he could. Particularly if we have some challenging matches.

SinkingQuffa

10:07am

So who are the starting 5 now?

WJCougar

9:53am

Are we a blue blood or just new money?

Unibro

9:51am

RE: Are we a blue blood or just new money?

Kilgore Trout

9:52am

New money, even if we win we will not be a blue blood

fulano

9:52am

A tech start-up.

Plantagenet

9:52am

We are a green blood

zonacougar

9:53am

twenty more of these offseasons, and then ...maybe.

Norseman

9:54am

Not sure, I haven’t seen it yet. Just waiting for the “church money being used

Jstak17

9:54am

personally, cant think of a better way to spend it!

Norseman

9:55am

I think most BYU fans would. If nothing else, just to make the ALUFs howl.

Jstak17

9:56am

What's our record in Final Four games?

Corn Pop

9:54am

We are not blue blood. That takes years to earn, and we have done nothing to

LifeLongLakerFan

9:55am

If idiot Ute fans consider Utah to be a blue blood, then I guess we can consider ourselves one as well. Heck, why don’t

Texas Hammer

9:56am

RE: Are we a blue blood or just new money?

The Dark Knight

I've been banging the drum that BYU has a LOT of

9:54am

one scholarship left, right? even now my brain is saying

Norseman

9:51am

We are a basketball school now. 😔

scootsy (Taylor’s Version)

9:51am

I mourn the precipitous fall of the fb team, but am grateful KY is giving us

Saxa

9:52am

The precipitous fall is much over exaggerated on Cougar Board.

PJMort

9:54am

I guess if a mediocre and underwhelming team is your expectation, it is much

oryguncoug

9:57am

RE: I guess if a mediocre and underwhelming team is your expectation, it is much

PJMort

9:59am

When you consider that the Big12 is relatively stronger in bball than fball,

Is a 0.9849 composite rating on 247 good?

Huge Manatee

9:51am

No. It's not 100.

9:51am

We’re saving the 100 for next year

mitchwhite221

9:53am

They say he’s the highest ever for BYU but I need a list to understand the

DKN

9:51am

I just looked and previously Mika was #1 at .9805

Huge Manatee

9:52am

Where are the Cougs ranked for this recruiting class? Top 25?

dahurt45

9:58am

I thought we were #25 BEFORE this signing

The Dark Knight

9:59am

And isn't that without Demin having a rating?

Huge Manatee

10:04am

A Euro target for the last scholarship or a portal player?

Hoopster

9:49am

Well, basketball has certainly been different this offseason
