Not sure it was all Rice. He sucked bad at UNLV, with better players.

Good coach, but I don't think all that he he's made out to be on CB.

One of the more underrated/forgotten wins of the Dave Rose era

Is that Jimmer at the end of the bench?

Yes. Ben Murdock played over him. Still a head scratcher.

Recruiting is down. We had better height, athleticism, and shooting. That

Last year BYU had 6 top 100 recruits. Most ever but recruiting is down

Who exactly? The LP3, for sure. I'm guessing Childs also. Who else?

Dastrup and Eli were both big-time recruits. I believe both were 4 star guys

MaxxPower

2/21/18 9:29pm

Bryant was a big time recruit?

Gerald-DeGroot

2/21/18 10:37pm

No. Offers put of HS were Elon, Gardner-webb, Loyola, Vermont, etc.

That’s what I thought

Gerald-DeGroot

2/21/18 11:11pm

I meant recruiting him from elon, not from high school

MaxxPower

Eli was a 4 star transfer?

Gerald-DeGroot

2/22/18 8:31am

So Bryant definitely wasn’t. And Child’s was a big recruit but I’m not sure

Gerald-DeGroot

Why does it seem like we were so much better, tougher, athletic, and bigger back

wow....watching that makes me more depressed about our offense this year...

What annoyed me so much were the national articles that gave BYU no credit for

I think that was same tourney that we almost beat UNC as well

Plaisted, Cummard, Tavernari that was a fun team to watch play

BYUFootballisBack

2/21/18 3:04pm

Tavernari was maybe the most frustrating player I've ever seen play

MaxxPower

cut from the same cloth as Nick Emery...

icecougar

2/22/18 6:34pm

I completely disagree, respectfully...

MaxxPower

Tavernari could play really good D when he tried. Really good.

Seems like forever ago - basketball was playing like that. Hall, Unga, Pitta,

That was a nice era for football and basketball. Good times. Looking back at it,

Between Anae 1.0 in Football & Rice in Basketball, it was a fun product to watch

The offenses at BYU when Rice was assistant generally weren't that high scoring

Longing for the MWC years is beneath us.

I don't care to go back to the MWC. I miss having a football team that regularly

Plaisted was an absolute beast in that tourney. I believe Dickie V said

He’s a great OC & recruiter, just not a good head coach

That team had athletes.
