Pope was always good with water bottle but this has to reflect him right now

Cmon Kalani. You are being left behind by basketball

TNT

1:12pm

Uh-oh. An apology may be coming soon

TNT

1:14pm

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

Blueto

1:15pm

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

TNT

1:16pm

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

1:13pm

I'll start holding my breath for that to happen

tony

Hahahahahaha...wait, are you seriously asking?

show me any evidence to the contrary

Can the ROC chant NHL!!! NHL!!! NHL!!! NHL!!!! At the rivalry game?

Q-grr

We don't need Egor at 4.

TailgateU

1:07pm

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

SinkingQuffa

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

What are reasonable expectations for Egor next season?

20 ppg, 4 asst., 1 rb.

BYUheaven

I'd be pleased if he did 12/6/4

RenoCoug

1:05pm

If all he does is replace Waterman I’ll be disappointed

Warner

1:16pm

Chet Holmgren like

I could see around PPG(14), but definitely not his shooting %s(73% 2fg& 39% 3fg)

Longseason

1:07pm

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

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.

12:57pm

You don't think Hall was?

RGGeemer

12:57pm

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.

ldssdl

12:56pm

Increasingly clear that sports are unsustainable at Utah

Gustav

12:55pm

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

247 2024 Big12 Basketball Recruiting Rankings

12:54pm

Didn’t realize ASU was having such a strong off season.

12:56pm

Same. They snuck in a 5-star commit.

1:00pm

RE: 247 2024 Big12 Basketball Recruiting Rankings

RGGeemer

12:56pm

Demin not ranked and probably 5 star equivalent

UnoDoctor

12:57pm

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

cougarfan84

1:02pm

For instance, on the composite ranking, BYU would move from 6th in conference/

cougarfan84

1:08pm

BYU only having 1 actual transfer hurts their transfer portal ranking

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

babycarrot

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

12:51pm

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

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

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.

SinkingQuffa

12:56pm

Robinson was maybe the laziest defender on the team.

Frankfromtheballpark

12:58pm

Johnson was a solid defender

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

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

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

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

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

Saunders is going to start

AF Cougar

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

12:41pm

I 100% agree with this and don't understand thinking to the contrary.

Mitty

12:48pm

Idk. I think they both want/deserve more than 20 minutes per game and could see them overlap for 5-10 minutes together

Except Burgess just said they are looking at doing it
