hard to get excited for BYU B-Ball with commits like these. Not knocking Beo,

Chester Copperpot

Everything you said could have been said about one Jimmer Fredette

kimdaddy35

3/31/15 1:29pm

Kind of feel the same way, why the quick hate on him?

Cougar TD

3/31/15 1:30pm

I am not hating him. He just is the same thing we already have. This commit

Chester Copperpot

3/31/15 1:32pm

So should Rose be targeting more 2nd-tier non-LDS "athletes" *wink, wink*?

Mantis Mutu

3/31/15 1:49pm

I think we can make room for the seventh highest scoring player in the country

wiscougarfan

3/31/15 2:20pm

I'd rather make room in such short supply for someone with

southernfriedcougar

3/31/15 2:23pm

Winder was never as quick and explosive as BYU fans want to believe

blucoug18

3/31/15 3:35pm

I never said he was this great athletic specimen.

southernfriedcougar

3/31/15 4:16pm

That's pretty impressive. The 49 pt game wasn't much of a fluke, then.

Mantis Mutu

3/31/15 3:14pm

Just cause he's white? Racist.

Preppy

3/31/15 2:27pm

Uh, how many state records did Beo break in Washington?

Chester Copperpot

3/31/15 1:30pm

How many D-1 programs recruited Jimmer?

kimdaddy35

3/31/15 1:31pm

It looks like he may have a few before he is done

kimdaddy35

3/31/15 1:32pm

Or about Dantley Walker.....

Goatnapper'96

3/31/15 1:31pm

So why offers from Washington, CU, Boise St

kimdaddy35

3/31/15 1:37pm

I do like that he's a solid-built kid with a high release & the ability to score

Mantis Mutu

3/31/15 1:39pm

Quite a few did, in fact. Said he wouldn't get to the rim & would have problems

Mantis Mutu

3/31/15 1:36pm

Did Jimmer shoot a set shot with a slow release in HS?

CoopDizz

3/31/15 1:45pm

Outliers are common enough that this is a good point

DapperDan

3/31/15 1:50pm

Beo may be great, but Jimmer is the exception not the rule.

Cougar Insider

3/31/15 1:50pm

With the solid recruits Rose has landed that last few years, I don't agree.

Mantis Mutu

3/31/15 1:54pm

i don't agree either. If Rose thinks he can play, I'm certain he can.

Bluforever

3/31/15 2:07pm

Have you looked at BYU's recruiting? Its all big men.

CaliWG

3/31/15 1:31pm

2016 - 17 Emery, Haws, Chatman, Calvert, Beo, Bartley, Toolson

CaughtForaTouchdown

3/31/15 4:03pm

Seems like a similar situation that turned out well

Cougforgood

3/31/15 1:33pm

Could be, but his commitment doesn't get me excited. Hope he proves me wrong.

Chester Copperpot

3/31/15 1:34pm

agreed. not much to get excited about

Cougforgood

3/31/15 1:38pm

Agreed - 35% from three and 39% from the field against pretty weak HS

RE: Agreed - 35% from three and 39% from the field against pretty weak HS

dukestirr

4/1/15 8:32am

I get you - but even then 35% from three at that level isn't very encouraging.

CaughtForaTouchdown

4/1/15 2:28pm

He won't see the court for 4-5 years. How many big men will have come through

BigD Coug

3/31/15 1:33pm

Richland is in the largest classification in Washington high schools (4A)

QuickCoug

3/31/15 1:34pm

WA B-Ball must suck then. Kid probably can't even dunk.

Chester Copperpot

3/31/15 1:40pm

Partially agree but we can't ONLY recruit big men.

Walter Bellhaven

3/31/15 1:42pm

Every team needs shooters

I'mBatman

3/31/15 1:47pm

RE: Small School? They're in the largest classification in the state of WA

crazyhenry

3/31/15 2:05pm

Yeah, that was a two level gym, didn't look small to me.

CaliWG

3/31/15 2:11pm

The Richland "Bombers" play in Washington's largest high school division, 4A.

PortlandBlue

3/31/15 2:50pm

um, how is that NOT knocking him? #blesshisheart #nooffensebut...

fattycoug

3/31/15 3:29pm

Lol. Small school in WA. Do you realize how many

Gentleman Stan

3/31/15 3:36pm

I dont see much ability to create...jsut shoots set shots

LasVegasBlue

3/31/15 9:12pm

"Not knocking Beo," well you kind of just did

ALC

3/31/15 9:30pm

Don't know how exciting that is. Surprised they offered.

southernfriedcougar

3/31/15 1:25pm

Do you know more about him? Why do you say that?

Cougar TD

3/31/15 1:29pm

ESPN says he had offers from Washington, CU and Boise St

kimdaddy35

3/31/15 1:30pm

Just being honest.

southernfriedcougar

3/31/15 1:43pm

His game looks a lot like Haws. I like the potential. Nice pick up

Bob Vance

3/31/15 3:55pm

My first thought:

T-Bird

3/31/15 1:32pm

He's Scott's nephew.

Left Shark Coug

3/31/15 1:35pm

54 on the other team has a mullet that is out of this world, well done.

oryguncoug

3/31/15 1:32pm

The Mullet is by far the best part of that highlight!

jwalk

3/31/15 3:40pm

#54 from the other team is rocking an awesome mullet!

SPUDMUFFIN

3/31/15 1:33pm

Love the mullet man. (#54)

royal_blue

3/31/15 1:33pm

Is it just me, or does this kid look just like Ricky Rubio?

Bostonblue

3/31/15 1:33pm

or Pete Maravich (shaggy mop)

Interview:

kimdaddy35

3/31/15 1:36pm

Looks like a very poor man's Tyler Haws

Walter Bellhaven

3/31/15 1:40pm

So a slower smaller Toolson

kotacoug

3/31/15 1:41pm

Don't think I've ever seen Toolson go to the rack or much from his mid range

Walter Bellhaven

3/31/15 1:43pm

maybe a Mike Rose?

thebruce

3/31/15 1:42pm

Much better handles than Tyler. And better range on his shot, obviously.

Mantis Mutu

3/31/15 2:09pm

If you watch those highlights, those 3s were open.

Walter Bellhaven

3/31/15 7:06pm

Beo's ability to drive & to go both ways has a good deal to do w/ why he's open

Mantis Mutu

4/1/15 1:40am

Harding?

NJBYUFan

3/31/15 1:40pm

Harding is a mission kid. I don't think Beo is.

Goatnapper'96

3/31/15 1:50pm

He actually reminds me a little bit of Jimmer with this shot

kimdaddy35

3/31/15 1:57pm

Think Cody Doolin with a better outside shot

blucoug18

3/31/15 1:59pm

He does remind of Doolin a bit. If he turns out that good, call me excited.

Mantis Mutu

3/31/15 2:02pm

the thing about Doolin was he didn't look like he belonged

blucoug18

3/31/15 2:11pm

What's your relation? Guys w his dynamic scoring abilities shouldn't be shot

Mantis Mutu

3/31/15 2:17pm

relation? I've seen him play

blucoug18

3/31/15 2:22pm

and he finished well with contact. Not every PG is that tough

icecougar

3/31/15 5:33pm

"loves big games?" as in.. he can be relied on to show up?

icecougar

3/31/15 2:18pm

good description

icecougar

3/31/15 5:32pm

What's their mascot? Cauliflower? Celery?..... Oh, bombers.

blueaussie

3/31/15 2:05pm

Scores prolifically... hope he can pass too b/c he won't do that w/ D1 defenders

Almaden Cougar

3/31/15 2:13pm

Always good to have shooters... Jimmer didn't score all the points...

(Private)

3/31/15 2:21pm

I understand not every recruit can be Emery, Haws, Mika, but I don't think this

KendoVABeach

3/31/15 2:25pm

Here's a video of a game winner he hit. Had 29 points that game.

BW84

3/31/15 2:27pm

I loved his reaction after the shot, like he knew it would go in and

Rhino84

3/31/15 2:43pm

Can he play D? Is he quick enough to create his own shot? That should be the

Ash

3/31/15 3:02pm

he's a very committed defender. Guy plays the whole game. Only knock is...

icecougar

3/31/15 5:35pm

That's good to hear. This program needs a culture overhaul if they're going to

Ash

3/31/15 10:12pm

that's a big red flag if those are his real percentages

I'mBatman

4/1/15 7:52am

Reminds me of Jesse Wade out of Davis h.s.

baishel44

3/31/15 3:27pm

Wow. A kid is excited about BYU. Rose likes him. He commits. We trash him.

Bluforever

3/31/15 3:49pm

Yeah, no kidding. Not cool at all.

At first glance, not really too exciting to get another smaller SG that can

I like 52 on the blue team that has the courage to play with a mullet

LasVegasBlue

3/31/15 9:10pm

check that number 54

LasVegasBlue

3/31/15 9:10pm

Judging from the size of the gym, he already plays in the WCC
