I’m excited about him, but I don’t expect any freshmen to start. Maybe midseaso

Harward?

Soupie

1/23/20 1:36pm

I was so close

Cougforgood

1/23/20 1:37pm

Harward will get plenty of PT but I think w/a year up on him Lee will be 1st off

storytime

1/23/20 1:45pm

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Lip Gallagher

Harward?

Cougforgood

1/23/20 1:36pm

I'm late to the game on Lowell, I guess. What's the story behind a 4* recruit,

Goliath

1/23/20 1:38pm

He and Baxter have the biggest upside on the team. He may be even higher bc

storytime

1/23/20 1:53pm

Tillie-esque potential IMO

puntersarepeople

1/23/20 10:00pm

Mark Pope

kudzucoug

1/23/20 2:38pm

Do we know how prone to exaggeration Mark Pope is? But for Goliath, Pope claimed

Lance71

1/23/20 3:35pm

Barcello, Harding, Lowell, Baxter, harward

TN_Coug

1/23/20 1:41pm

That's very likely that we play a bigger lineup & lowell at 3 especially vs Zags

storytime

1/23/20 1:47pm

That's the line right there...and you still have 4 shooters if Harward's shot

BYUheaven

1/23/20 1:55pm

My preferred lineup as well...at least right now.

ag4cougs

1/23/20 3:02pm

Our biggest struggle next year will be getting dribble penetration.

Cougforgood

1/23/20 7:08pm

I assume Pope will be active on the transfer portal

puntersarepeople

1/23/20 7:10pm

I don't remember ever seeing Wade play. I know he was good in HS

ReggaeCoug

1/23/20 1:41pm

what you see from Barcello on the offensive end is similar to what you see from

storytime

1/23/20 1:44pm

Wade is a better outside shooter

PortlandBlue

1/23/20 2:14pm

Wade isn't anything yet and Barcello is shooting about 43% from 3.

Lip Gallagher

1/23/20 5:14pm

We literally haven't seen him though so it's impossible to factor him in.

Lip Gallagher

1/23/20 4:27pm

He was a bench warmer at Gonzaga.

Oldcougfan

1/23/20 1:44pm

Have you seen him play since HS?

storytime

1/23/20 1:48pm

I have zero expectations for Wade. How he got to Zaga I will never understand.

raines31

1/23/20 1:56pm

Great chance, he never is the same post major knee injury.

storytime

1/23/20 1:59pm

Pope will have a great case as to why a wing grad transfer/JC guy should come

storytime

1/23/20 2:01pm

Super fresh off a mission

puntersarepeople

1/23/20 5:07pm

I don’t see Barcello and Wade starting together.

PJMort

1/23/20 1:48pm

I see it this way as well. And all have proven to be productive in college

ReggaeCoug

1/23/20 1:50pm

obviously we'll see a drop off next yr unless Pope finds star wing grad transfer

storytime

1/23/20 1:50pm

There's a lot of scoring to replace.

mudpupper

1/23/20 1:53pm

yep... a lot.

storytime

1/23/20 1:54pm

Thoughts on Hunter Erickson?

Phasor

1/23/20 1:56pm

I’m excited about him, but I don’t expect any freshmen to start. Maybe midseaso

PJMort

1/23/20 2:04pm

yeah, lots of upside. Didn't watch him a ton in HS but all depends on mission

storytime

1/23/20 2:04pm

He'll get significant minutes. His defense is good and he can score at all 3

ayfan

1/23/20 2:08pm

I think Isaiah White from UVU will grad transfer and start at the 3

ayfan

1/23/20 2:00pm

I like where your head is at. This is very likely

storytime

1/23/20 2:03pm

man, we'll be really good next year if some of those possibilities turn into actuality

SingleStrapBackpack

1/23/20 2:23pm

Is that hunch about White or are you hearing things?

ag4cougs

1/23/20 2:55pm

There is a decent amount of smoke around it, and i've heard some credible rumors

ayfan

1/23/20 3:27pm

looking at the stats, White and Averette struggle with shooting the ball

byuprof

1/23/20 2:57pm

Jardine's long and can hit from 3, tho. Would be a solid pickup.

ag4cougs

1/23/20 2:59pm

White can board and would bring a lot of intangibles to the team.

storytime

1/23/20 3:02pm

White hit 39% from 3 last year, and has missed some time with an injury i think

ayfan

1/23/20 3:26pm

RE: White hit 39% from 3 last year, and has missed some time with an injury i

Lip Gallagher

1/23/20 5:27pm

Averette played significant minutes at Oklahoma State for 2 years, and is fast

ayfan

1/23/20 3:29pm

I haven't seen Lowell or Harward play but this doesn't inspire

JuicyJam

1/23/20 2:19pm

I think both will be very good. I don't see Lee ever being as good as Harward, and Lowell could be a star. + Baxter

SingleStrapBackpack

1/23/20 2:24pm

Both are skilled players.

Mitty

1/23/20 2:40pm

Lowell was WAC Freshman of the year. He could be really good.

PJMort

1/23/20 3:27pm

Nothing against Lowell. Definitely exciting to have a guy at his size with those

JuicyJam

1/23/20 3:36pm

That's fair. We are hoping for guys to continue to develop.

PJMort

1/23/20 4:21pm

I think he was the conference POY because of what he did IN conference. IIRC he didn't play much earlier in the year

SingleStrapBackpack

1/23/20 11:27pm

Not really. In conference play he averaged 16 minutes/game and 5.4 points.

JuicyJam

1/24/20 6:59am

OK. Just going off what I thought I remembered hearing a year ago. Guess I was wrong.

SingleStrapBackpack

1/24/20 8:02am

You don't say. Losing a senior class that has two guys that are some of the best

Lip Gallagher

1/23/20 5:19pm

Really don't think Wade does much

Cougar TD

1/23/20 2:28pm

Lee starts.

Boring

1/23/20 2:30pm

Not sold on Knell

Dynomite

1/23/20 2:36pm

Agree but he’s a freshman that has shown flashes

puntersarepeople

1/23/20 10:02pm

It will be interesting with Barcello and Harding the only two certainties;

Mitty

1/23/20 2:38pm

He’s been adjusting to D1 speed coming off a mission

puntersarepeople

1/23/20 5:12pm

We know he can shoot, but consider guys like Emery, Haws x2, KC were all

Mitty

1/23/20 9:16pm

You guys are nuts!

NowIsTheTime

1/23/20 2:41pm

I like your thinking but Lowell will start the majority of games at the 3 or 4

storytime

1/23/20 2:45pm

I watched Spencer Johnson a lot in HS. he may have grown an inch.

storytime

1/23/20 2:48pm

Yes, how foolish are we. Harward- averaged almost 2 points/game at UVU.

PJMort

1/23/20 4:07pm

That is exactly the starting five I am expecting to see.......

BoiseBlue

1/23/20 4:22pm

You just said our starting 5 will all play professionally? And we are the ones

ReggaeCoug

1/23/20 6:07pm

Professional ball=/=NBA

puntersarepeople

1/23/20 6:46pm

???

Mitty

1/23/20 9:55pm

Johnson is going to come in and start? It's rare we get a JC xfer who can do

Mitty

1/23/20 9:53pm

Yes I'm sure

NowIsTheTime

1/23/20 10:14pm

Well, that's great if he's that good. I'll give you credit if you are right.

Mitty

1/23/20 10:16pm

One of my favorite things to speculate about is hoops....

Goatnapper'96

1/23/20 3:27pm

Again---- Where is Harward? Feel he'll start but not mentioning him at all is plain silly. Did you mean him instead

Soupie

1/23/20 3:30pm

Yes. I wasn't clear...

Goatnapper'96

1/23/20 3:32pm

Again with Harding. Does your keyboard not know how to type "Harward"? They're 2 different guys.

Soupie

1/23/20 3:33pm

I think the keyboard is fine. Yes,

Goatnapper'96

1/23/20 3:35pm

Agree we need a backup PG, been saying this as Wade may end up a nothing.

Mitty

1/23/20 9:59pm

Harding

puntersarepeople

1/23/20 10:03pm

If Knell wants starter minutes he better improve his lateral quickness...

icecougar

1/23/20 3:27pm

Quickness is the last thing to return after a mission. There is hope.

Lance71

1/23/20 3:43pm

Harding is too slow to be great, but will be a ten point guy.

idcougarfan

1/23/20 4:04pm

He is truly the ultimate support guy.

Goatnapper'96

1/23/20 4:17pm

He’s not explosive enough downhill

puntersarepeople

1/23/20 5:17pm

We have had a lot of guys who were so so as athletes but turned out to be great

jre85

1/23/20 11:23pm

I just love that for the first time in a while I’m confident that guys will

doups3

1/23/20 4:48pm

A few thoughts

puntersarepeople

1/23/20 5:20pm

What about Shareef O'neal?

ochobeeguy

1/23/20 7:21pm

Don’t think he’ll come to BYU with our glut of big guys
