No offense to Luke intended
But I'd take Anderson over him every day of the week and twice on Saturday.

What are these "summer games" you are referring to?
Indy Coug
9/21/17 9:18am
Pick-up games/scrimmages in annex/mc
thebruce
9/21/17 9:33am
I think he's mostly referring to scrimmages when it comes to stats tho

I saw Luke Worthington last week and he's much thinner than his freshman year
Indy Coug
9/21/17 9:19am
I'm sure his instagram page on hair products is still thick as ever

I expect Cougs to finish distant third in WCC.

No Nick Emery?

I am saddened by this omission...

Except that it is a mistaken comment. People need a word search.

9/21/17 1:53pm
Guess I meant that I was sad Nick hasn't been lighting it up this summer.
teancum
9/21/17 2:00pm
Nick is very valuable; good on offense and perhaps BYU's best defender.

"the most effective 5 on the court could be Haws, Childs, Bryant, Emery, Seljaas

Any thoughts on Heath Schroyer?
TheWanderer
9/21/17 9:26am
Consensus is he is good and seems to be lead assistant.

9/21/17 10:16am
Excellent update. However, the mediocre schedule falsely enhances expectations.
MichCoug
9/21/17 9:35am
What can we expect out of Dastrup, the player with the most big time offers?
Hinta
9/21/17 9:59am
Payton is highly skilled and could be key if he puts it all together. Not yet.
roseyscenario
9/21/17 10:08am
I think Dastrup could be a big key to this season.
Oldcougfan
9/21/17 11:33am
We really need the starter at the 5 to be Dastrup over Luke
beauso79
9/22/17 10:36am
Yes we very much need Dastrup to put it together. Would make very big difference
roseyscenario
9/22/17 12:44pm
I thought Andrus was serviceable as a freshman. Just needed some more weight
beauso79
9/22/17 1:06pm
Believe Andrus did gain a fair bit of weight on his mission & the pictures I've seen & on BYUSN, he looked it.

I love your posts and insight... But I must still temper my expectations.

Oh wow... I think Luke is terrible but I consider Anderson one of the all time

Worthington is terrible

Cute, but not really. Luke's more fluid & has a much higher Bball IQ.

I hope Luke W has improved. There were many times I wondered how he ever got

So what you are really saying is that this team has NIT Final 4 potential?

Thanks for the update. Ill defined leaderships roles hurt the team last year

... again, not even a mention of Emery???
BoiseBlueCoug
9/21/17 12:54pm
Emery was mentioned as a major player.

And starter.

Can you comment on how the other new guys are looking? Bergersen and Brown?

curious how Kajon Brown has looked in pre-season?

A lack of a true 5 player is my biggest fear... We may be fine to skirt around the WCC w/ Luke as our guy, but we will

If Jacob Larsen is not ready, the Zags will not have a center next year. That

Isn't Tillie still there?
LifeLongLakerFan
9/22/17 8:09am
Yes but Tillie is not a true center who likes to bang in the paint. Right now
BYUheaven
9/22/17 8:31am
Guard play should be great, but we are two quality bigs away from a solid team.
CopperLix
9/21/17 4:00pm
What is your definition of solid? Ncaa team?
thebruce
9/21/17 4:03pm
Sure, a solid team should get at least one tournament win.
CopperLix
9/21/17 4:05pm
One big. With Mika we hit this objective.
BostonCougar
9/21/17 4:18pm
So basically a top 32 team...
thebruce
9/21/17 7:02pm
Uhh, if we are banking on 3s from Child's, we are in trouble
zerome4sooners
9/21/17 5:18pm
Why
Epileptic Beagle
9/21/17 5:56pm
Because I don't think he'll make a high % in games
zerome4sooners
9/22/17 5:50am
Bigs shooting 3s is what makes BYU basketball so terrible.

Who is the last big to host lots of 3's at a low %?

9/22/17 2:06pm
Got to say I disagree with this. Since Rice left after Hartsock's junior year
BYUheaven
9/22/17 3:31pm
In general, they are settling for jumpers and avoiding contact.
ColdFusion1989

I'm not even concerned as much about percentage as I am the mentality.
ColdFusion1989

AT MOST we should hope for a 1 game NIT appearance (home or away)

I hope for more than that, but I do understand the difficulty.

Roster construction - no small ball
chodilicus
9/21/17 6:38pm
Yeah, they would like to play Yo at PF beside a true center. Not philosophy

It's a shame that hartsock didn't pan out.

With no inside out game, the threes will continue to come in transition and from

Penetration is a lot easier when you don't have your bigs in the post.

Are you talking about our offense or defense?
BYU'01

Offense. Defensively a there will be issues

He is talking about our offense. Last year both childs and mika camped out in

You should. But for some reason BYU seems to refuse to use PnR. Which is

Yet here we are with the same unanswered questions as always.
Ash
9/22/17 7:22am
Points 11 and 12 don't jive with me. Play fast transition no matter the success?
Ash
9/22/17 7:26am
I think what Rosey was trying to convey is that BYU wants to slow it down and
BYUheaven
9/22/17 7:40am
They are aware, but can they coach the defects away? Bingo. Agreed.
Ash
9/22/17 9:20am
The threat is always more terrible than the execution. BYU can run and execute
roseyscenario
9/24/17 9:26am
I don't understand why you care so much about our defensive rebounding stats
Ash
9/24/17 1:21pm
But defensive rebounds are a signal that there was a stop. You
soupie
9/24/17 2:41pm
All it signals, having watched every game for several years, is that BYU plays
Ash
9/24/17 6:30pm
Not correct. Your observations fly in face of analytics which show BYU opponent
roseyscenario
9/24/17 6:55pm
The ultimate point is this stat means so little because you have to consider
Ash
9/24/17 7:20pm
BYU was 62nd in FG% defense (42%) and 51st in 3pt FG% defense (33%)
Indy Coug
9/24/17 7:37pm
Yet opponents missed enough to enable BYU to lead nation in defensive rebounds.
roseyscenario
9/24/17 7:40pm
The alternative is opponents get offensive rebounds
roseyscenario
9/24/17 3:27pm
Great post! After listing 4 problems, I was hoping to hear #3 & #4 addressed.
j20
9/22/17 7:46am
Fair point. Didn't cover everything. Consensus is Hardnett a superb defender.
roseyscenario
9/22/17 7:53am
Ah yes, stressing to value every possession should help #3.
j20
9/22/17 8:01am
And it's a smart way to address it, rather than label players as selfish.
roseyscenario
9/22/17 8:33am
Quick pace does not necessarily mean a quick shot
