Buddy that scandal wasn't his fault

Sure, some things could've been prevented, but he couldn't have known that it was gonna turn into a debacle. There was waaaaay more to it and behind the scenes than you could imagine.

Thank you Nick Emery for everything you brought to the team. I'm really excited seeing where your path goes past basketball.

Sad to hear of his retirement, was looking forward to seeing him do well this

he may live to regret it. Why not just give it one more year?

buckeyecougarguy

7/23/19 10:47am

Cause he now has a five year old kid

New coaching staff? Lack of playing time? Drama? Scandal? Family? Heart not init

It doesn’t seem odd to me at all

Alpi Gusto

7/23/19 11:06am

I just can't think of a player of his stature that just retired unless they were

buckeyecougarguy

7/23/19 11:11am

Ok, I’ll try and explain it one more time

Alpi Gusto

7/23/19 11:21am

i'm not denying he hasn't had non basketball issues that would make someone feel

buckeyecougarguy

7/23/19 12:01pm

I don’t buy it, sorry.

and this whole there's more to life than basketball talk... I think thats

If you're even questioning whether or not a player makes the team it's a pretty

i expected him to make the team and be a major contributer. Whether or not he

Doesn’t owe BYU anything?!

Brigham

7/23/19 11:19am

Lol. First off, no one cares about the “scandal” he brought to the team

Alpi Gusto

7/23/19 11:28am

I won't lie, I care. Do I think Nick is a bad guy? No. Am I extremely

kimdaddy35

7/23/19 11:36am

Well said. Someone better care. If not, we'll see a whole lot more of it in

777

7/23/19 6:28pm

Disagree. There are many of us that care. I would say you are not a true fan

Whose fault was it?

Brigham

7/23/19 5:10pm

We'll just say that it had a lot to do with his ex-wife

troymac32

7/23/19 5:51pm

Hmmmmm.

Cougstreak

7/23/19 6:45pm

The time commitment to college athletics is unbelievable

Sexytaxman

7/23/19 12:00pm

I wouldn't say we treated him horribly, but you do make great points

troymac32

7/23/19 2:20pm

Say what? Opposing fans & trolls treated him poorly but not many real BYU fans

SwisshQiumi

7/23/19 2:58pm

I think he saw the writing on the wall that he wasn't going to play much

Dangerous

7/23/19 10:52am

I think you might be hitting the nail on the head!

BYURider

7/23/19 11:09pm

I'm just guessing here

JKLCoug

May live to regret spending loads of that extra time with his wife and kid?

7/23/19 10:59am

yeah maybe. He had the rest of his life to do that. One more year to complete

buckeyecougarguy

7/23/19 11:05am

Emery isn't very good anymore. He may have gotten back to form, but I don't

Ash

7/23/19 4:14pm

his career kind of played out like Tanner Mangums career for me. Different

buckeyecougarguy

7/23/19 4:25pm

Both sucked (as in the experience, not the guys)

ZW is a cold blooded killer and a leader

Sexytaxman

7/23/19 4:42pm

I really do hope so

puntersarepeople

7/23/19 5:30pm

He's getting older. Most likely lost a step since sitting out. New coaches

777

7/23/19 6:22pm

False

puntersarepeople

7/23/19 6:52pm

That surprised me

Jesse Wade and TJ Haws both set to play 40 mpg this year.

BGRTHNUMEGO

7/23/19 10:49am

Wade will come of the bench so he won't play 40mpg. Haws, Toolson, and Wade

7/23/19 10:53am

I only see that scenario if Harward gets the hardship waiver. If he does not

BYUheaven

7/23/19 10:58am

I've yet to hear any reason why Harward would get a hardship waiver.

JuicyJam

7/23/19 11:08am

Trevin Knell could get some time if he’s far enough along

puntersarepeople

7/23/19 12:27pm

Wade is going to go from nothing to 40 min?

7/23/19 10:59am

Not surprising to me. I don't think he was going to see much time this year

Dangerous

7/23/19 10:51am

I wish him all the best in his new endeavors.

StalwartBraveTrue

7/23/19 11:12am

I wish Emery the best. He is certainly one of the most polarizing

kimdaddy35

7/23/19 11:22am

Makes me sad. I love this guy and wish I could have seen him play at his best.

You only get to be a college kid once. Hopefully he won't look back and regret

Acorn

7/23/19 12:13pm

He's way past "kid" stage, though. Not just by age but in life experience

fattycoug

Life moves on. Wish him well.

coolblue

I respect his decision.

This makes me sad, all the best Nick!

As fans we cheered your success as a basketball player...

Man, what a bummer. Would liked to have seen him come back strong.

BleedCougarBlue2

7/23/19 3:23pm

I was really hoping he was going to get back to his freshman-like performance

7/23/19 4:16pm

This makes me sad. Best of luck, Nick!
