The question has always been "Is he healthy?" I hope you are right that he is...but playing a whole season is still TBD.

Jesse Wade making buckets

I know that Wade is actually really good, but I don't get excited over someone sitting there making some shots.

RdF3

9/29/20 6:32pm

I think the bigger story is he seems to be healthy. We need another Guard who can play the Point.

CrimWalCoug

9/29/20 6:35pm

Again, you can’t take anything away from that video. It doesn’t prove he’s healthy.

RdF3

9/29/20 6:36pm

I mean, I don't think anyone sees it as hard proof, but it's encouraging to see

Has nothing to do with usu or byu. I just have this hobby horse about seeing people online get excited that some player

RdF3

9/30/20 8:45am

Yeah, but what I mean is it's exciting for fans of the team to see a player

Epileptic Beagle

9/30/20 8:47am

I'm absolutely a fan of byu basketball.

RdF3

9/30/20 8:54am

Not everyone remembers swish. But I do. Go Aggies!

Epileptic Beagle

9/30/20 1:21pm

Yes, I’m an Aggie fan first, but I’m also a fan of BYU.

There's a phrase for guys like you: "Not a true BYU fan."

BleedCougarBlue2

9/30/20 7:02pm

C'mon man, that's not fair. No spittin on our own. Even if he is an Aggie 1st.

He said last spring that he was 100% and feeling the best physically...

I expect nothing from him. Anything more than that would be a pleasant surprise.

raines31

9/29/20 6:45pm

Prepare to be surprised. His injury was no joke & a huge disappointment

SinkingQuffa

Easy there! Jesse is a great shooter,

I'm not expecting him to, but in the course of the season it could EASILY happen

SinkingQuffa

^^Never seen Wade play. Dudes a legit scorer. He will be a fun one.

I think more than a few fans are unaware how good he was/is.

SinkingQuffa

9/30/20 8:49am

Yep, I'm with you, if he gives us 8 minutes a game the next two years

Mitty

9/29/20 10:36pm

Given the type & level of player he is, we should expect a lot better than that.

SinkingQuffa

9/29/20 10:58pm

It's unfortunate but it made sense to relinquish the schollie, he hasn't yet

Mitty

9/29/20 11:15pm

As long as he's healthy & practicing, no reason to be fatalistic.

SinkingQuffa

9/30/20 12:07am

That “level of recruit” looked completely out of place at Gonzaga. Completely.

raines31

9/30/20 12:12am

Straight back from a mission as a spot player?

SinkingQuffa

9/30/20 12:17am

a lot of freshman struggle in adjusting to the D-1 game. Especially after a 2 yr

icecougar

9/30/20 1:26pm

Wade is not seen as a PG at all. 3rd PG might be Harding or Johnson before Wade.

roseyscenario

9/29/20 9:43pm

I could see Dave playing Wade at the 2 beyond short stretches, but not

SinkingQuffa

9/29/20 10:33pm

Won't he be too small to pair defensively with AB or BA? I figured he

Mitty

9/29/20 10:37pm

Averette is shorter, yet he will be on court with AB more than half the game.

roseyscenario

9/30/20 9:02am

Good point, we won't have big guards but we'll be big everywhere else.

Mitty

9/30/20 9:16am

Pope has several big guards who will play a lot. I believe you are correct

NowIsTheTime

9/30/20 9:34am

If Jesse's gonna play much this year it'll be because he forces the issue.

SinkingQuffa

9/30/20 10:08am

Averette's standing reach best's Wade's by 6 inches probably, though.

SinkingQuffa

9/30/20 9:25am

I know it. Shame on Indy for sharing. If it ain't 100% useful,

SinkingQuffa

9/29/20 6:47pm

It’s just a pet peeve of mine when people get excited about a player making a few shots in a row in shoot around.

RdF3

9/29/20 6:53pm

Considering the news I've heard on Jesse over the last year-n-a-half

SinkingQuffa

9/29/20 6:58pm

I know of a few BYU players who were healthy and couldn’t make 10 three pointers

LakeshowCougs

9/29/20 7:00pm

I’m a crappy basketball player and can easily make 15 in a row.

RdF3

9/29/20 7:23pm

No you can’t.

Zastava

9/29/20 7:34pm

Easily.

RdF3

9/29/20 7:42pm

If you shoot 80% on uncontested threes then you will go 15/15 on 3.5% of your 15

Salami Karate

9/29/20 7:48pm

Yeah, it doesn’t really work like that. There’s a lot of variables at play.

RdF3

9/29/20 7:51pm

Then what are you waiting for? Prove it. Film yourself doing it & post it.

I'm a middle age dude who clarified I know I'm not very good at basketball

I watched Wade and Baxter putting up shots earlier this summer.

Zastava

9/29/20 7:31pm

Great guy, great shooter. Hope he can see some game action this year.

NowIsTheTime

9/29/20 9:06pm

Is the dude's knee or whatever better finally? I mean how long does it

Mitty

9/29/20 10:35pm

It was a really stubborn injury that was mismanaged.

SinkingQuffa

9/29/20 10:43pm

It's going to be hard to find minutes on this team but I think Wade will...

icecougar

9/30/20 1:34pm

Especially on a team loaded with defensive players
