Why Not Burgess? This is Why!

I would just caution that Smith might be be more of a basketball booster

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at Kentucky, if he doesn't become a HC

That would be shocking to me.

kimdaddy35

Not sure Burgess and Pope are close now

WallaX2

If Young wants him I think he will be on staff.

kimdaddy35

We should let Young hire who he wants and not pull a Kalani

I'm confused, what did Santiago do?

This is Ryan Smith, Danny Ainge and Holmoe

Archaea

I'm still 100% on board with moving on from Santiago. Sorry Gman.

Maybe he abstained from the interview process

Cougs4Lfe

1:53pm

Hall and Saunders for sure. They are BYU guys. Would like all 3

johnnybyu

1:55pm

I think the quick and solid coaching hire gives us a good chance to keep all 3

CalY

1:55pm

I think Saunders is the best player of those three.

shoganai

1:56pm

Out of those 3 I would list in order: Saunders, Khalifa, Hall. But I would

kimdaddy35

1:57pm

Hall would be the most important for a good season next year. Not really close

Considering we don't even have a backup PG.....

Will Pope to KY and KY to BYU make our portal players reconsider?

Cylon Coug

Hopefully Hall and Saunders

acougfan

If it doesn’t, they’re stupid and probably don’t belong at BYU

Stupid? That sounds harsh.

It was meant to be. NIL money runs out quick.

At least it was outside the box. Gotta park the bus for the next hour.

I don't think that is soft at all. Arujo is completely behind and interferes

He reached out from behind and grabbed the shoulder. I agree it was soft contact but the right call
