Cougrrrs Roll All-American

Plus next year any seniors who return and BYU wants to keep on scholarship. But this is just for 2021-2022.

So all of that 14 won't be on scholarship next year.

Pretty sure we’re looking at a scholarship crunch for next season

I have a feeling we see Lee and Knell transfer. Lee to UVU and knell to a

I expect Harding & Lee back next year.

Lee still provides value especially big man goes down. Harding needs to be

I don't think he will have offers - unless he switches to football - left tackle

Phreddy

2/26/21 12:48pm

I think every player on this team would have a place to go if they ever left. That's the beauty of Pope....

Knell a likely starter next year. Hope he stays. Would like Lee to stay also.

2/26/21 12:54pm

I think you are right on about Knell next year. Don't know if Lee will play

Phreddy

2/26/21 12:57pm

Lee’s wife is on Women’s hoop team.

Goatnapper'96

2/26/21 1:00pm

He will be on the team - I just don't think he will get much time

Phreddy

2/26/21 1:06pm

I think he will play more next year than this.

Goatnapper'96

2/26/21 1:11pm

Nice Kid but I hope that is not true from a talent level on the team perspective

Phreddy

2/26/21 1:28pm

Even if Haarms were to stay, I don't see how Atiki's not our primary backup

SinkingQuffa

2/27/21 9:48am

We need some depth with someone that can bang down low; Harward will have foul

BYU'01

2/28/21 7:30pm

Pope loves Knell. And Lee's wife is also at BYU, hard to see him transferring.

ldssdl

2/26/21 2:08pm

Knell's got upside as a situational shooter. He stays.

SinkingQuffa

2/26/21 6:37pm

Not sure why Knell would transfer

JKLCoug

I guess if Lee crossed town to uvu things wouldn't be so bad w the wifey.

maybe a disappointing season of underperforming combined with an off-season of..

2/27/21 1:25pm

I think BYU needs Barcello to stay or replace him with a transfer

BYU Fan

2/26/21 12:41pm

Agreed. If AB leaves, expect Pope to go hard after a grad transfer PG.

Zastava

2/26/21 1:25pm

I don’t think Hansen will be on scholarship.

Goatnapper'96

2/26/21 12:42pm

I would guess Trey Stewart is also asked to walkon first year unless Barcello stays

mokelembembe

2/26/21 1:04pm

Uh, no.

Lip Gallagher

I'd love to see pope keep everyone and develop team chemistry

Mostlyaccurate

2/26/21 12:46pm

I agree. I really believe BYU’s rotation next year is 10.

Goatnapper'96

2/26/21 12:57pm

Does everyone get an extra year? I thought it was just seniors

LeonMarek

2/26/21 1:05pm

I suspect a couple guys on that list will either move on or be asked to...

Zastava

2/26/21 1:20pm

So, the same as every year?

mwcoug

2/26/21 1:26pm

We added 3 players last summer. Very different from that

DieHarder

2/26/21 1:33pm

It just seems like we always talk about scholarship crunches, not having more

mwcoug

2/26/21 1:39pm

Check out the Google sheets list of players. Maybe there won't be a cap

Hinta

2/26/21 1:36pm

There will be a cap, but it's likely to be 16.

Lance71

2/26/21 2:20pm

My prediction is AB and BA come back. Haarms is clearly gone.

CrimWalCoug

2/26/21 2:21pm

Interesting. As Joaquin Andujar said: "There is one word in America says it all,

roseyscenario

2/26/21 2:33pm

I agree at least AB and then BA depending on how the year goes. I love AB but

johnnybyu

2/26/21 2:40pm

Haarms will be back next year

JCowart

2/26/21 11:56pm

I think the coaches try really hard to talk him into it. It's for his own good.

SinkingQuffa

2/27/21 3:59am

He can develop those skills elsewhere. I don't think Haarms will stick around.

BYUALWAYSNUM1

2/27/21 8:02am

But if he trusts the coaches to for sure help him meet his goals — why

SinkingQuffa

2/27/21 9:43am

IMO he'd be better served going pro overseas

JoeExotic

2/27/21 8:27am

Why come to BYU in the first place? Was a grad transfer--coulda left a year ago.

SinkingQuffa

2/27/21 5:48pm

Absolutely not for his own good

Lip Gallagher

2/27/21 9:22am

He's already decided that he's leaving

Cougrrrs Roll

2/27/21 9:41am

Nope...he’s already told folks internally that he is coming back.

JCowart

2/27/21 2:34pm

Source? 100%?

2/27/21 4:54pm

OK whatever

Sure hope so. Not sure there are any Point Guards on that list.

Forzaitalia

2/27/21 12:32pm

Is Jesse Wade not on scholarship

Oldcougfan

2/26/21 2:46pm

Don't believe so.

My uneducated guess would be

byulover

2/26/21 3:08pm

Hunter Erickson is NOT the next Cory Calvert.

Zastava

2/26/21 3:21pm

He stands in the corner, dribbles to the top of the key and passes

kapcreations

2/26/21 3:37pm

He’s played 21 minutes of garbage time

DieHarder

2/26/21 3:43pm

^Precisely this^. Lohner was just as timid, just as lost at the beginning...

Zastava

2/26/21 3:50pm

From warmups looks like his hops are back. He’s bouncy

wisconsincougs

2/26/21 5:01pm

He’s definitely got hops.

Zastava

2/27/21 8:29am

It's a crunch without even taking into account Pope likes to get transfers

Hinta

2/26/21 3:23pm

Why do people make future potential predictions based on freshman

Lip Gallagher

2/26/21 5:03pm

Calvert? Uh...athletically...not even a similar animal.

SinkingQuffa

2/26/21 6:57pm

Do you really know anything or are you just guessing?

Are you sure we don't get more scholarships since the NCAA gave extra

sandiegocgrfan

2/27/21 1:30pm

It hasn't been approved yet. But they are considering 16 scholarships

Lance71

2/27/21 1:56pm

Seniors can return for the extra year and not be counted

Cougrrrs Roll

14 is with the assumption of Hansen added.
