Sounds promising

here we go again

What?

Gerald-DeGroot

5/30/17 11:34am

Is that the most negative thing you can come up with?

Big Daddy D

5/30/17 3:26pm

Huh?

Gerald-DeGroot

5/31/17 12:33am

I read where he comitted to California in "16. Any story there?

5/29/17 10:36pm

Coaching change, he asked for release.

thebruce

5/29/17 10:37pm

This kid plays w/ the level of control we DESPERATELY needed

mantis mutu

5/29/17 10:36pm

Page says after his mission. So he's not going to help this year.

Lance71

5/29/17 10:37pm

Got that. I was talking down the road. Seljaas & Hardnett

mantis mutu

5/29/17 10:40pm

I thought I was going crazy, I couldn't remember an RJ from the team...

billyrust

5/29/17 10:38pm

LJ, RJ...

5/29/17 10:41pm

I understand Nick had a rough year last year. But your impressions of TJ are completely misplaced.

slatecoug

5/30/17 12:11am

please, let's not use him (or Tavernari) as our yardstick on shot selection

warp

5/30/17 7:10am

You missed the entire point.

slatecoug

5/30/17 9:01am

I didn't realize that. Good stat.

tcherrin

5/30/17 11:51am

Offensive game reminds me a lot of Jackson Emery. Don't know how he is

Pimpin4Paradise

5/29/17 10:43pm

Better shooter than Jackson. Not Jackson defensively

thebruce

5/29/17 10:44pm

Offensively, his game is MUCH more advanced than Jax's.

mantis mutu

5/29/17 10:45pm

Spot on.

Big Daddy D

5/29/17 11:14pm

Unless his highlights are misleading, he is a spot up shooter. Nowhere in his

Pimpin4Paradise

5/30/17 7:10am

Gotta watch again maybe. But I thought he put the ball on the floor a lot

mantis mutu

5/30/17 8:49am

His stats seem to indicate more than just a spot up shooter

wisconsincougs

5/30/17 12:42pm

Did you watch Jackson play in high school?

Shteve

5/30/17 9:13am

No. But I didn't have to. I imagine Jax was so much

mantis mutu

5/30/17 9:21am

That's about right.

thebruce

5/30/17 12:49pm

Did he get the offer, and commit same day? Love it. None of the BullShiz game

BlueFrog

5/29/17 10:45pm

Nice player, great shooter. He'll be joining team same year as Harding, Lee. There remains a scholarship open for fall.

roseyscenario

5/29/17 10:53pm

Fingers crossed

thebruce

5/29/17 11:33pm

Fingers crossed a scholly remains open or gets filled for this fall?

coug10278

5/29/17 11:44pm

I'm hoping it gets filled. With an outsider.

thebruce

5/29/17 11:53pm

Still hoping BYU gets the recruit for this year that you alluded to a few days

Coogar2

5/30/17 12:14am

Yes. It appears to be in the hands of the great NCAA bureaucracy in the sky.

roseyscenario

5/30/17 7:05am

Lots of Rudy candles are in order.

mantis mutu

5/30/17 9:27am

Shenanigans.

BYUSwoop

5/30/17 9:58am

Watched him a lot, was in the same region as Seljas. Interesting to see BYU

Cougarfan777

5/29/17 11:06pm

It's hard to get excited about mission-first kids.

OpusX

5/29/17 11:44pm

Should we start for you now?

Q-grr

5/30/17 12:27am

Excellent

1-Wing RCAF

5/30/17 12:09am

Can never have too many three-point shooters.

jensen46

5/30/17 6:06am

The only question fans should be asking about every recruit: Can he play D?

Ash

5/30/17 6:38am

If he's an elite shooter we want him whether can can play D or not.

thebruce

5/30/17 8:03am

False. Plenty of "elite shooters" have fizzled out even in just recent memory.

Ash

5/30/17 8:48am

Toolson didn't fizzle out because of his basketball ability.

thebruce

5/30/17 8:53am

Well, that's a question for the Coach Rose disciples I guess. All I know is that

Ash

5/30/17 8:56am

I certainly don't consider myself a coach Rose disciple.

thebruce

5/30/17 9:06am

Well of course anyone would agree with that, so it's not saying much. But where

Ash

5/30/17 9:18am

considering the team is 2 years away and we don't know what the roster will look

thebruce

5/30/17 9:23am

I should also add

thebruce

5/30/17 10:02am

small sample size but...

icecougar

5/30/17 11:14am

Talk about one dimensional

coug10278

5/30/17 9:44am

This mentality sums up everything that is wrong with BYU basketball

youngster

5/30/17 9:12am

so, let's reverse it.

thebruce

5/30/17 9:20am

Agree to a point. But we don't really mean totally 1 dimensional, otherwise Dantley Walker would've been good. No?

roseyscenario

5/30/17 10:47am

Dantley Walker isn't elite IMO

thebruce

5/30/17 11:06am

You are right of course, but wasn't Dantley a phenomenal shooter in high school? IIRC he averaged > 30pt. > 40% from 3,

roseyscenario

5/30/17 11:33am

I agree Iirc he played for like a 2A school in Nevada.

thebruce

5/30/17 11:44am

Going by his hilights alone, I'm non convinced he's an elite shooter.

OpusX

5/30/17 11:42am

I like this get.

Mark320

5/30/17 7:06am

I served in Uruguay. I hope he loves it there

Preppy

5/30/17 8:43am

Viva La Uruguaya! I repaired the well pump in the branch Chapel in Isla Patrulla

Y'sWoody

5/30/17 10:22am

Was he offered by BYU out of H.S.?

MSG

5/30/17 10:06am

no, we offered PoPoola...but since he didn't come to BYU it left a spot for him

thebruce

5/30/17 10:13am

Thanks! I wondered.

MSG

5/30/17 10:55am

not the same recruiting class as Popoola technically since he's a mission first

LEHI cougar

5/30/17 11:24am

great GIF!

warp

5/30/17 12:37pm

Yes but they would still have overlapped.

thebruce

5/30/17 12:41pm

only by 1 or 2 years. any mission first kid is the equivalent to a player in

LEHI cougar

5/30/17 12:57pm

The 2 year overlap is enough in some cases.
