What do you think the name of the future Utah MLB team should be?

In an interview last night, KY said there are a number of coaches

BYUJoJo

Yes and perhaps they have been offered and red tape is being cleared. Who knows

Forbidden Fruit

10:41am

That's what I was wondering. It seems logical that those things have already

BYUJoJo

10:45am

They almost have to be. You have to have coaches hired now to start recruiting

This. It they sign Robinson and then Burgess or that dude from Stanford then

We made the "all the bacon and eggs that you have" joke many times. Maybe my favorite line ever on television.

cougfanblue

Yep, it's always bulking season on a cruise. Plus it's awesome with kids because

bulletproof

10:32am

I forgot about the ice cream. I ate so many ice cream cones.

cougfanblue

10:33am

I think it’s mostly below average. People get caught up by the amount of options and the unlimited quantities

TCuz

10:32am

Mass produced food is what it is.

Corn Pop

10:38am

Yeah, we actually got to do a tour of the galley, which was pretty fascinating.

cougfanblue

10:44am

For any cruise where you're paying less than $100/night/person

mobicurious

10:45am

I usually spring for the premier dining options 2-3 nights of the cruise.

OPINIONS

10:34am

We'll probably do that next time. I heard good things about their steakhouse, but again, my standards are high for steak

cougfanblue

10:36am

We hit the steakhouse & teppanyaki last cruise.

Born2Fish

On my cruise I ate a pizza every night at 11pm. I regret nothing.

Jeff Spicoli

We did a Holland America Alaska cruise last year. Food was noticeably better

This is not a slam on Pope, but I wonder if UK fans are questioning his pursuit of BYU recruits/players when they likely

Which BYU players do you feel could have made the NBA with the right development

Hup

10:24am

Yoeli Childs, Eric Mika

SausageKing

Yoeli was too slow laterally I think

No one new to your list but I will say Mika is the first one that comes to mind.

If only someone could’ve taught collinsworth how to shoot.

Pepe

What is "play in the NBA" criteria? Couple other guys . . .

Nodak Cougar

10:37am

Appear in a game (Eric Mika made it by this definition - 1 appearance)

Hup

10:44am

Actually...Sadly...None of them

Adrielle

Always felt Mika left too early. Another year might have made the difference.

A large tip might help the process

Cougrrrs Roll

Do you have a platinum or higher level status with Marriott. If you do and the

bYuFB

10:12am

it all depends on how full the hotel was the night before

mobicurious

10:17am

At the very least, most hotels should at least hold bags for you so you could leave those before checking in and go out

Pete

If you actually do have an executive suite, then it depends on when your room

POLL: Found out my 6th grader plays QB at recess and another kid has been paying him $1 every time he throws him the ball. My son has $46 cash from him so far. Should we intervene?

Odysseus

10:09am

Keep accepting the deal, but don’t throw to him at all several days in a row. The price will go up.

TCuz

10:13am

TCuz, I think I need to hire you to be my agent. That's actually brilliant.

BoiseBlue

10:21am

Does the rest of the team know what he’s doing?

Crowgar

10:15am

I’m not sure. He said there are like 20 people on each team calling for the ball

Introduce him to the “mom tax” and maybe she’ll get on board

Especially if he is stealing it from the parents.

That's how NIL really should go

Id wonder where a 6th grader is coming up with $50. I also wonder if there’s

DubuMfalme

Sounds like a win/win.

Yes

10:23am

The kid is paying your kid for confidence and credibility amongst his peers. I don't see it as that big of a deal if..

Yes, but wait until he's made an even $100

Born2Fish

Max Shulga in the portal. BYU should really consider bringing him in.

Mostlyaccurate

10:08am

USU fans if he came here:

provoprodigy

10:17am

Does he have any ties to BYU? Or Utah?

ldssdl

10:18am

Played at USU for 3 years. Followed the coach to VCU last year.

Mostlyaccurate

10:19am

So he's playing for a 5th year? Is that a covid year?

durandal

10:24am

I assume so.

Mostlyaccurate

10:30am

Combo guard? Or more of a PG?

puntersarepeople

10:21am

Beyond the basics do fancy facilities matter anymore?

CougarCanuck76

10:07am

Apparently many pro facilities are kind of dumpy, so maybe not.

BlueFever

10:10am

When facility upgrades & player salaries compete directly with AD & coach salaries, facilities will be the first loser

Underhill

10:41am

Proposed solution to this NCAA NIL mess…

TheManintheArena

10:06am

It's nuts to think that BYU's head coach is going to get paid more than Arizona

Schrodizzy

10:06am

That's what a top dog program does - so refreshing.

NOCAL_YFAN

10:07am

I’m surprised the even released contract details at all, the amount is even more

Rhubarb

10:13am

BYU doesn't release that stuff, it was probably his agent.

Schrodizzy

10:19am

Question begged, though: was Kevin's hefty price tag reflective enough in regards to his value as a D1 HC?

SinkingQuffa

10:14am

BYU has a limited pool, so makes that decision a bit different

Dr T-bone

10:22am

For sure. It still doesn't make him a great D1 HC hire, though.

SinkingQuffa

10:26am

I don't see the big contract as equaling a guaranteed good hire. But it is a

bluesloth

10:22am

Or at least that one of our boosters was successful in telling our BOT to loosen up & look the other way for 5 minutes.

SinkingQuffa

10:29am

When most of the money likely came from a specific booster(s), it’s a huge win

bigbossbyu

10:24am

It's not a huge win, imo — until the product on the court justifies it. It was an encouraging "win" I guess

SinkingQuffa

An acquaintance of mine was sitting passenger in our work vehicle. Name of company was on the side of vehicle.

Dallin Hall will play in the NBA

ballen

Is this a guess? Or, have you heard that from a reliable source?

BYUJoJo

10:22am

Of course it's a guess. The kid is only a sophmore.

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

10:23am

So basically 1 year too late for a good shot to play in the NBA

ochobeeguy

He will at the least develop further and take his chances

It will only happen if he improves his shooting

Some of Winters' stuff has also been questioned, as well.

The accusation (which I am not making) is that Winters uses Ambrose to make himself look better than he was

YLife

I think you make a case as to why he has a legit shot, anyway. AND as to why he prob wants to stay put.

SinkingQuffa

9:59am

I've been a big defender of Hall's play. He directs the offense very well & has better size & strength than many PGs

Soupie

10:01am

Only if he stays does he have a chance

palangi

10:03am

I’m laughing he won’t legitimately play in the NBA.

RdF3

“It” factor in Utah high school basketball ≠ NBA

RealTaysomHill

10:05am

Why do so many people think Hall can't defend?

ochobeeguy

10:05am

Because he is a physical defender and doesn’t get steals with quickness. Steals

BYUheaven

10:06am

Yep, Harden was top 5 one year in steals…

ochobeeguy

10:15am

Because he’s not super fast laterally

puntersarepeople

10:18am

It may be the best part of his game

Remigius

10:18am

BYU hasn’t put a player in the NBA that stuck since Bradley. Dallin Hall isn’t

Jimmer played 241 games, I would count that personally

If you're not on draft radar going into your Junior year it's very unlikely.

shoganai

I think he was saying that he will eventually figure that out while in college

travelcoug

He is not “crafty enough” offensively. His finish% at the rim is terrible. He

royal_blue

10:11am

Excellent college player. Will never play in the NBA

Iman23

10:12am

Here are the things that make that unlikely: Size, quickness, and shooting.

Mikey

10:14am

Also Age. I forgot to add that one.

Mikey

10:15am

I agree he could. Being a 22 yo sophomore hurts.

Plato

10:14am

He would need to majorly improve his shooting.

Bandit

10:15am

Just for comparison Delapadova shot 42/38/86 for his career

Their ball handling skills aren’t even in the same vacinity.

All the naysayers, My player comp for him who I could see him become…Dellavedova
