idk, Baxter played above the rim like nobody else on our team except for Childs.

We have a serious lack of athleticism at BYU that we refuse to address by recruiting short, small guards who can't get shots off against good teams (Emery is a prime example). The current game demands length. Baxter, Bergerson, and Childs have it. Those 3 should be on the court--and if they're not ready then give them the reps to get there. Otherwise it's just more of the same next season.

Let’s hope no Emery

That’s just lack of knowledge there

Past 7 posts are anti Emery

Was just gonna say the same.

considering they joined in 2018 its possible. though i'd expect there would be more personal attacks if that were the ca

If Emery plays within the offense he will help. If he

Jdoc

3/18/18 8:59pm

Even his slightly less productive Soph year is way better than other options.

bstod

3/18/18 9:00pm

Yes, unless he causes chemistry issues with Bryant

Jdoc

3/18/18 9:03pm

And there weren’t those last year. TBH, Eli and Yo can cause them on their own.

bstod

3/18/18 9:06pm

I think they will be fine together, but it is a potential issue.

Jdoc

3/18/18 9:10pm

He shot 37% from 3, we woulda killed to have that this year.

bstod

3/18/18 9:12pm

Also, had a little better A/TO than Hardnett.

bstod

3/18/18 9:18pm

Nope.

This post deserves every thumbs down that it received. More good players is good

No... You can hope no Emery. The rest of us understand that not having Nick was a huge hole

Adrielle

Emery coming off the bench would've been a big difference this year...

icecougar

3/19/18 1:38pm

Based off the past 5 years the players don’t matter. Expect the same.

idcougarfan

3/18/18 8:42pm

I expect improvement, unless 2 of our starters unexpectedly leave the team.

rggee

3/18/18 8:45pm

I would like to believe this but the last 5-6 years have been so similar with

idcougarfan

3/18/18 8:53pm

Not sure where the 5-6 number is coming from. We took 2nd in the WCC and made

rggee

3/18/18 8:55pm

And made the First Four and had Ole Miss on the ropes as an 11 seed in 2015.

rggee

3/18/18 8:56pm

Then Haws left and we had a dropoff to the NIT, then KC left and we again made

rggee

3/18/18 8:58pm

So again, if we can avoid key contributors LEAVING....we should see improvement.

rggee

3/18/18 8:59pm

I think we lost to Ole Miss in the play-in game, did not make the tourney.

Cougtruth

3/18/18 11:25pm

Well BYU is going from having one of the least experienced to most experienced

I believe Gavin Baxter will make a difference.

3/18/18 8:46pm

Great point about Andrus. If he and Nixon can stay healthy next year, that

rggee

3/18/18 8:48pm

Agree. We need Seljaas to figure out his shot.

LifeLongLakerFan

3/18/18 8:50pm

I agree with you and you give me a thumbs down?? Tough crowd.

rggee

3/20/18 6:16am

He'll be home in May. He'll have six months to lose his mission legs

Adrielle

3/19/18 12:43pm

we probably have too many players coming next year

archie

3/19/18 7:12am

Dump Shaw and Nixon. Pretty simple.

Ash

3/19/18 9:18am

Agree with Shaw but not Nixon

JadedCougar

3/19/18 11:37am

Why not? Who else would you dump?

Ash

3/19/18 12:02pm

Nixon probably makes most sense

archie

3/19/18 1:30pm

Nixon was way more valuable this year than Seljaas. I'd get rid of him.

JadedCougar

3/19/18 1:32pm

I could see that. It is possible he gets his shot back, but it was truly

Ash

3/20/18 9:28am

Yeah, Baxter was a baller in HS. I was wrong about Emery because who knew that

Ash

3/19/18 9:16am

They were all ballers in high school.

Jdoc

idk, Baxter played above the rim like nobody else on our team except for Childs.

You raise a good point. Hopefully, Baxter’s athleticism

Jdoc

3/19/18 12:24pm

I'm not much for evaluating high school talent, but I cannot imagine a scenario

Ash

3/19/18 12:27pm

He definitely has more potential. I think a key with

Jdoc

3/19/18 12:40pm

Does he have Haws-itis or can he put on some muscle during the off-season?

Ash

3/19/18 12:45pm

He’s pretty skinny, but I think his frame will allow him to put on

Jdoc

3/19/18 1:22pm

Yes, no and no

icecougar

Thanks for the insights into different players!

You should post this as a new thread so more people see it.

Kolby Lee is not the type of player I see Rose playing.
