It’s called the dunker’s spot
A player starts in the opposite short corner, moves to the elbow, and then dives to the rim if his defender tries to double.

Baxter is officially cleared to play — but will he?

Not sure what to think. Not sure how his game fits.

Rebounding & rim protection are two things this team could really use
CaliWG
2/4/20 5:17pm
Offensive rebounding and 2nd chance points were big advantages for SMC

He would’ve been able to d up on Fitts

2/4/20 5:40pm
agree. up to the coaches who get to see his work but maybe he'd be served well
Idahofallsblue

He's not sticking around for 3 more years regardless
CaliWG
2/4/20 5:19pm
He’s a long way from pro ready and could use game time to develop

Two year is probably enough
puntersarepeople
2/4/20 6:09pm
He could be the missing piece that BYU needs this year

His D is much better than ok

Holy crap.

Seems late in the season to put someone into the rotation. I'd be afraid he

If he's healthy, I say play him now. He is a real talent. Do your magic coaches!

I hope so.

is the redshirt thing a consideration at this point, or as he already burned it

I don’t know the rules but other CB folks insist that’s not an option
byujdmba
2/4/20 5:44pm
If he plays 1 minute then he cannot redshirt. If he doesn't play he can redshirt
Broda

You play your best players

Play him if he's healthy

Play him if he’s willing.

We need him in tournament play
letthewookieewin
2/4/20 5:25pm
How do the redshirt rules work? Could he play <25% of the games and still RS?
Trent

no, it has to be season ending.

I trust Gavin and Pope to make a good decision. I'm 100% OK with whatever they collectively decide.
SingleStrapBackpack
2/4/20 5:29pm
WOW. This is huge if he decides. He can start getting in the rotation now so by

Hasn’t played in 4 months. Might be a while before he is rotation ready.
Turnpike Lane

With a shoulder though it would seem he could stay in pretty decent shape still.
Broda
2/4/20 5:41pm
If he could get into the rotation about 5 games from the end of the season

My thoughts, as well.

Awesome, but whose minutes do you take away? Most players have

Well, Toolson is likely out for a week. Harding has food poisoning...

Really tough decision - each big has played well for very different reasons

I wish basketball had a similar Redshirt rule to football.
cougaman
2/4/20 5:39pm
If he's going Pro, he'd be crazy to stick around until he's 25
Born2Fish
2/4/20 5:43pm
It doesn't hurt to have the option to stay another year. He isn't required to
cougaman
2/4/20 5:46pm
I'd say play him if that's what he wants to do.
OldFogey

Based on his comments last week I expect him to play

Ash. Knock it off with the positivity. You’re gonna hurt yourself.
Big Daddy D

Tempting, but could also mess up team dynamics
zerome4sooners
2/4/20 7:27pm
Maybe but he is not a volume shooter who needs the ball. He will play D, reboun
johnnybyu
2/4/20 7:46pm
I think he also has the potential to be extremely effective as a rim runner on the PnR when Haws has the ball
SingleStrapBackpack
2/4/20 7:54pm
He basically eliminates the monster double on Yoeli too
CaliWG
2/4/20 8:04pm
Yep

If he and Childs are both down low, there is no room for either to work.

CaliWG

It's called the Jazz traded away Favors because it doesn't work.
ochobeeguy

Yoeli can actually shoot though
puntersarepeople
2/5/20 6:04pm
Watch some film
puntersarepeople
2/5/20 7:25am
but if he is in, it is 1 less shooter
ochobeeguy
2/4/20 9:12pm
also if he's in, defenders are in big trouble if they leave him to collapse on Haws or Barcello when they drive inside
SingleStrapBackpack
2/4/20 9:24pm
honestly he's the missing link IMO
jkccoug
2/4/20 9:54pm
He should grab a chance to dance. Something might happen later on
JoMax
2/4/20 7:34pm
If he can play, play him. Don't wait for next year. If you want to make a run, make the run THIS year.
SpiffCoug
2/5/20 12:04pm
Agree 100%. This team is likely tournament bound. There are no guarantees that
Mojojojo

If he can play and contribute without disrupting team chemistry, play him.
