Right on. He needs time to bring in better guys but is off to a good recruiting
start. We are going to be very happy with Mark Pope and his staff

Pope has got to increase the talent level. Recent signees not going to get us...

BYU has the talent. Great additions from UVU. But we're cursed (Childs/Wade/Baxter).

yeah, looking at a more athletic suu team was demoralizing.

11/14/19 11:52am
All teams are more athletic than this team besides BYU's 1 and 26

Yep - we need to find a Keena Young type player. His recruiting has left

11/14/19 11:53am
"His recruiting has left a lot to desire"?! The guy has had the job for a total of 7 months. Good heavens.

Sign Maddy against Michigan State 😮 ?
Archaea
11/14/19 12:03pm
Well yeah, that sure would be nice. But having an expectation that our 7-month coach is going to win a recruiting battle
SingleStrapBackpack
11/14/19 12:06pm
You don't read sarcasm very well. I give Pope a complete pass this year
Archaea
11/14/19 12:11pm
Yeah, we have a lot of very good players. Unfortunately, 5 of them can't play due to injury or RS.
SingleStrapBackpack
11/14/19 3:26pm
Take the five best players off every team and tell me how well those teams
Archaea
11/14/19 3:30pm
That's my point. You realize I was agreeing with you....right?
SingleStrapBackpack
11/14/19 3:33pm
I do.
Archaea
11/14/19 4:19pm
Good points. I'm definitely being too harsh. I would like to see us get some
Dangerous
11/14/19 12:15pm
I think we will see that over time. I think Pope is well connected and will be a good recruiter.

Right on. He needs time to bring in better guys but is off to a good recruiting

Do we have an updated roster chart showing who's on mission & such?
Soupie
11/14/19 11:53am
He hasn’t been here long and I’m sure it’s hard to get guys who weren’t already BYU guys before he was hired
DieHarder
11/14/19 11:53am
He’s been the coach for less than a year, and BYU’s top 2 big men are out
ldssdl
11/14/19 11:56am
Give him three or four years. He didn't come into a great situation roster wise.
-C9-
11/14/19 11:53am
My worry is that the roster looks worse moving forward with who he is bringing
Dangerous
11/14/19 11:54am
My fear exactly.
bluefish
11/14/19 12:18pm
I'm willing to give him another year. Steve Cleveland brought in guys...
bluefish
11/14/19 12:16pm
Let's let him survive this year. Even Coach Izzo couldn't win with this team.

When you get a job that late in the process after so many departures and

Toolson is pretty much BYU's 2nd best player. Lowell and Harward will be big in the future. Not sure what else Pope...
mulletino
11/14/19 11:58am
But at some point, he has to stop with the emergency signings.
Archaea
11/14/19 11:59am
And that point is not anywhere within his first year or coaching at the school
sidsie716
11/14/19 12:00pm
agreed. He's doing the only things he can at this point. This year's team
Archaea
11/14/19 12:04pm
Yeah, it's pretty bad right now.

The beauty of Pope's recruiting is that he doesn't do that....
mokelembembe
11/14/19 12:46pm
He also flipped a kid to BYU that wound up top 100 on espn right? From American Fork.
Grit for Brains
11/14/19 12:00pm
Yes. Trey Stewart.

Childs and Baxter would make a huge difference this year.
CopperLix
11/14/19 11:54am
And Wade

If SUU can get D1 transfers to Cedar City, Pope should be able to get some to

Again, came in way late to the game

The red hair kid actually played for USU last year but flunked out halfway through the season.

It would be really tough for him at BYU. He was good.

Academics get in the way

Stupid facts. Why can't we just generalize and sharpen the pitchforks?
stoils
11/14/19 4:14pm
I actually like the talent he has gotten
CaliWG
11/14/19 12:01pm
He just got hired in April, didn’t really get a chance to get his feet under him
pegushin

He was the best and most logical choice to hire. I think we give

Why does everyone think this is so easy to do?
Canusa

I agree it isn't easy to do, but it must be done. That's the job description...
bluefish
11/14/19 4:13pm
I totally agree it needs to be done
Canusa
11/14/19 4:17pm
Time will tell, but I think Pope will be better than either Cleveland or Rose at doing exactly what you're asking for
SingleStrapBackpack
11/14/19 4:19pm
These signees are fine/great for depth and role players
Little Mac
11/14/19 5:36pm
And to avoid injuries.
Archaea
11/14/19 5:57pm
Like Wyatt Lowell (3/4*), Richie Saunders (3*), Alex Barcello (4* U of A transfer), and Trey Stewart (4* on ESPN)?
SingleStrapBackpack
11/14/19 6:04pm
Yes. Agreed.
Little Mac

Yeah, this year is going to be rough at times. We're in for some not-pretty moments in Maui.
