One of the more underrated/forgotten wins of the Dave Rose era

Louisville earned a #3 Seed and made it to the Elite 8 in 2008. I know it was Rose who decided what style the program would play when he was hired, but Dave Rice really knew how to put together an offense. Those teams could push the ball in transition, run an effective secondary break, and had a sound half court system.

Is that Jimmer at the end of the bench?

Yes. Ben Murdock played over him. Still a head scratcher.

Coaches got vehicle kickbacks from Murdock Chevrolet.

Recruiting is down. We had better height, athleticism, and shooting. That

Last year BYU had 6 top 100 recruits. Most ever but recruiting is down

Think he's saying "on the roster"

Ah

2/21/18 9:15pm

Who exactly? The LP3, for sure. I'm guessing Childs also. Who else?

Dastrup and Eli were both big-time recruits. I believe both were 4 star guys

MaxxPower

2/21/18 9:29pm

Bryant was a big time recruit?

2/21/18 10:37pm

No. Offers put of HS were Elon, Gardner-webb, Loyola, Vermont, etc.

That’s what I thought

2/21/18 11:11pm

I meant recruiting him from elon, not from high school

MaxxPower

2/22/18 8:24am

Eli was a 4 star transfer?

2/22/18 8:31am

So Bryant definitely wasn’t. And Child’s was a big recruit but I’m not sure

2/22/18 12:36am

Why does it seem like we were so much better, tougher, athletic, and bigger back

2/21/18 2:57pm

Because we were

Sidenote - HDTV has made watching sports so much better.

wow....watching that makes me more depressed about our offense this year...

What annoyed me so much were the national articles that gave BYU no credit for

I think that was same tourney that we almost beat UNC as well

I was going to mention this as well

Plaisted, Cummard, Tavernari that was a fun team to watch play

BYUFootballisBack

2/21/18 3:04pm

Tavernari was maybe the most frustrating player I've ever seen play

MaxxPower

2/21/18 4:04pm

cut from the same cloth as Nick Emery...

icecougar

2/22/18 6:34pm

I completely disagree, respectfully...

MaxxPower

2/22/18 7:23pm

Tavernari could play really good D when he tried. Really good.

2/22/18 7:36pm

Seems like forever ago - basketball was playing like that. Hall, Unga, Pitta,

That was a nice era for football and basketball. Good times. Looking back at it,

Between Anae 1.0 in Football & Rice in Basketball, it was a fun product to watch

CaliWG

The offenses at BYU when Rice was assistant generally weren't that high scoring

Longing for the MWC years is beneath us.

2/21/18 8:01pm

I don't care to go back to the MWC. I miss having a football team that regularly

Plaisted was an absolute beast in that tourney. I believe Dickie V said

Program has not been the same since Rice left for UNLV

reddead

2/21/18 9:39pm

Not sure it was all Rice. He sucked bad at UNLV, with better players.

Iman23

2/22/18 7:01am

He’s a great OC & recruiter, just not a good head coach

CaliWG

2/22/18 7:10am

That team had athletes.
