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

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

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

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

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

Mass produced food is what it is.

Corn Pop

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

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

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

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

Beyond the basics do fancy facilities matter anymore?

CougarCanuck76

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

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

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

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

“It” factor in Utah high school basketball ≠ NBA

RealTaysomHill

10:05am

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

ochobeeguy

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

Yep, Harden was top 5 one year in steals…

Because he’s not super fast laterally
