Before badmouthing Wade's stats fresh off a mission at Gonzaga....

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

Hard to get that excited about a short, somewhat nonathletic PG from Utah

Richbyu

7/11/18 3:36pm

So why do you think Gonzaga recruited him?

Indy Coug

7/11/18 3:37pm

I don't know. They usually get much more regarded players than Wade.

Richbyu

7/11/18 3:38pm

BYU "passed" because Frank Jackson had verbally committed

Indy Coug

7/11/18 3:39pm

OK. But only 2 offers. USU and Gonzaga.

Richbyu

7/11/18 3:40pm

Name 5 programs better than Gonzaga in the last 5 years

TPcoug

7/11/18 6:11pm

Why?

Richbyu

7/11/18 9:41pm

"His only offers were BYU and Kentucky"

Dissenter

7/11/18 10:35pm

USU and Gonzaga.

Richbyu

7/11/18 11:02pm

It was a mistake. That is why they are relieved he is

Jdoc

7/11/18 3:40pm

Link?

Indy Coug

7/11/18 3:40pm

Read between the lines. He hardly played last

Jdoc

7/11/18 3:42pm

If he was from another state you would be more excited?

cougarnerd

7/11/18 3:43pm

Maybe. Just seems odd that we recruit 3 counties in Utah.

Richbyu

7/11/18 3:50pm

Take a look at the roster. You are wrong on this.

TAMUCoug

7/12/18 10:23am

Right, we were all salivating when Jimmer signed his LOI. He was tall, athletic

PortlandBlue

7/11/18 3:44pm

I think there was a fair amount of excitement on CB, but he certainly wasn't a nationally-hyped recruit

Indy Coug

7/11/18 3:48pm

What we do know is that Wade will be nothing like Jimmer. Sorry.

Jdoc

7/11/18 3:48pm

I'm sure in 2007 you would have said that Jimmer would be nothing like Jimmer ended up being

Indy Coug

7/11/18 3:48pm

Wade is almost 22 years old and has done nothing on the collegiate level. Jimmer

Jdoc

7/11/18 3:52pm

I don't think Wade is Jimmer. The point is you're making absolute judgments based on essentially nothing

Indy Coug

7/11/18 3:54pm

Incorrect. We know that Wade hardly saw the court last year and that Gonzaga was

Jdoc

7/11/18 3:58pm

BYU maybe should hire Steve Cleveland as a recruiting consultant. He was able

Richbyu

7/11/18 3:55pm

BYU has 7 4-star players on their roster now. That's using ESPN's ratings

Indy Coug

7/11/18 3:56pm

We also have a lot of scrubs.

Richbyu

7/11/18 4:01pm

So do about 330 to 340 of the 351 teams in the nation

Indy Coug

7/11/18 4:02pm

Wish Dave Rose could win a Conference Championship. It's been rough.

Richbyu

7/11/18 4:04pm

Jimmer is huge compared to Wade. Wade looks like he is 5'10". Plus, Jimmer had

Richbyu

7/11/18 3:51pm

Do you just make crap up? Jimmer had offers from Siena and BYU. That's it.

SierraCoug

7/11/18 3:55pm

He's clearly making just about everything up in this thread

Indy Coug

7/11/18 3:57pm

Wade is 6’2” with shoes on, I spoke to someone who saw Wade and Emery side by

AltaCougar79

7/11/18 5:00pm

Jimmer was the all time leading scorer in NY state bball history.

jkccoug

7/12/18 2:07am

What does being from Utah have anything to do with his ability?

thebruce

7/11/18 3:51pm

Nothing. Just odd that our recruiting area is basically 3 counties in Utah.

Richbyu

7/11/18 3:53pm

Have you looked at our roster? It's not all 3 counties in Utah. Your statement is easily debunked.

Indy Coug

7/11/18 3:55pm

Ok, you are correct. I was thinking of a few years ago. But regardless:

Richbyu

7/11/18 4:00pm

Cannon was "signed" as a walk-on. Irrelevant. Troy is a walk-on. Irrelevant.

Indy Coug

7/11/18 4:01pm

Andrus, Nixon, Shaw? Relevant or Not Relevant?

Richbyu

7/11/18 4:03pm

If you think BYU should have a roster 13 to 15 deep of 4-star or better players

Indy Coug

7/11/18 4:03pm

I'd be thrilled if BYU / Dave Rose could win a conference championship.

Richbyu

7/11/18 4:04pm

Different argument.

thebruce

7/11/18 7:03pm

It says more about the poster than wade.

bald man

7/11/18 4:25pm

He's going to be serious firepower off the bench at worst......

mokelembembe

7/11/18 3:58pm

He reminds me of Sam Burgess but with better ballhandling

CaliWG

7/11/18 4:22pm

If he can be Sam Burgess that's a win.

ArchbishopMitty

7/11/18 5:22pm

He was a Rivals top 150 player in a class that included some pretty good players

icecougar

7/11/18 8:25pm

A time will come where we're glad we have him...

icecougar

7/12/18 4:26pm

BYU will need a solid PG when Hardnett leaves after this year

Coogar2

7/11/18 6:42pm

why do you think he's leaving?

icecougar

7/12/18 4:28pm

He’s a definite upgrade over McKay Cannon.
