It’s not Pope’s fault that Colin Chandler is on his mission.

He's not a current player. Who are the three best on the court today?

shoganai

12/8/22 7:24am

I don’t know. Saunders, Hall, and Chandler were the best in-state guys

Carlson, Ashworth, Kohler

This is true. Unless there were open court hours it doesn’t really do much good.

If they’d let kids play on them these days maybe they’d be good

Did Pope recruit him when he was at UVU?

JoeExotic

Not sure. He told me about his lack of recruitment from BYU over a game of pool.

Carlson didn’t want to wait behind Childs again. He did that in highschool and that’s why he went to Utah.

Yoeli was a year older and not going on mission

JoeExotic

Blue2thebone

I worry Pope has sacrificed long term development and program build for short

sandiegocgrfan

Don't give up hope yet...

BackPacker

12/8/22 12:57pm

you mean long term development guys like AAA, Stewart and GG?

icecougar

12/8/22 3:12pm

even if the best LDS players aren't here that's often the case for BYU...

McCombs mentioned Tolu Smith on twitter today. That's one I always forget about. He's probably #1.
