It seems at the time we definitely needed an inside presence.
If I remember correctly our bigs couldn't rebound worth crap two seasons ago. Totally killed us.

I think we're pretty sure we're not.

Shaw and Aytes.

Davis. I've been VERY unimpressed with him this year. Neilson is better.

Was he really runnoft or did he simply not like the style of play that the coach

Reportedly byu wanted him to be an outside player
BYU '80

The scholly was most likely down to him or Shaw. Hindsight..... but can see where it was a tough choice at the time.

Neilson is a far better player

No one projected Shaw to be better, tho.

LOL you're trying to tell me Rose cut a player because he can't play defense???

No. I'm telling you that his total game wasn't good enough to take a

Rose made a poor choice when he went with Aytes over Neilson.

I don't think the choice was between Aytes & Nielsen, it was between

Me too. Nielson barely got a chance.

He's had 2, 2 good games is all. Let him be gone

He's averaging 12.4 pts and 9.6 rebs a game...

The question is how come Isaac is developing better at UVU then he did at BYU?

Kaufusi improved in the season he worked with Pope at BYU...

No defense for this.

Pope is the main reason- he is a great big man coach.

What has Pope done to show that he is a "great" big man coach? What did he do for BYU's big
lightmann

If I remember correctly, Hartsock improved a lot
CFMcK
12/7/16 9:38am
Hartsock improved as a result of ongoing playing time, he should have improved as much as he did anyway.
lightmann
12/7/16 4:03pm
Gave Mika his "While on Mission" plan to improve his game - seemed to work
OGSuperfan
12/7/16 9:55am
Kaufusi showed marked improvement in his game during his time with Rose...
icecougar
12/7/16 11:38am
He should have. When he came in as a freshman his bb skills were very rudimentary.
lightmann
12/7/16 4:08pm
I am not convinced of this. Very few of the big men on his watch developed
Thrill
12/7/16 10:58am
Because BYU was a guard heavy team during his tenure; but the big men he DID

It doesn't matter if they were guard oriented or not, which guys besides those

I wouldn't say "few" generally. The big issue is at the 4/5 positions.

Probably because he gets a lot more playing time then he ever would at byu, in

I gave you a thumbs up; however Shaw has progressed nicely. We don't know

Shaw has progressed nicely...based on what? compared to what?
ag4cougs
12/7/16 12:11pm
He's contributed and can be trusted...this is based on Wrubell/Durrant/Cleveland
BYUSwoop
12/7/16 12:30pm
lots of guys can be trusted, doesn't make them D1 players.

Semantics...Shaw is proving to be a D1 players
BYUSwoop

By necessity. Perhaps I watch too much basketball.

This one hurts but in hindsight it's a swing and miss by Rose...

Yeah...we prob let a good one go there

Why would neilson stay to play Aytes 10 min a game when he starts at UVU?

Interesting. So, not like it was just Rose cutting him.

Odd, because a stretch 4/5 is so highly prized in basketball these days

Nielson wanted to play outside and Rose wanted him to play inside - there were other differences as well
