Chester Copperpot

he looks like a great player on his small high school in WA. He would kill the kids in my area as well, but look at who he is playing against. BYU needs some big men, not small shooting guards.

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

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

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

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

check that number 54

LasVegasBlue

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