I doubt any of them will ever be all league, but I can't remember the last time BYU had four, experienced scholarship-worthy bigs.

I have nothing. We are losing one of our best teams ever.

Mr. Scoobs

Because they are both better than Baxter and Lee.

B-ball is about guards now

I think Harding is going to be great the next two years

Name a great team without great tall guys. Maybe there is one. I don't know.

Yoeli isn't a big man? I'm confused.

Plato

He plays down low, but he's not particularly tall

1. Hes not super tall. 2. We were great without him as well. He missed half the

Great is relative but BYUs last great team didn’t have great bigs

Charles Darwin

Virginia didn’t really have great bigs last year

Charles Darwin

Going back so far proves the point that BBall is still a tall man's game and

Plato

He wasn’t great on that team though.

Charles Darwin

4/1/20 8:42pm

Even if those teams didn't have NBA bigs, they had very good

Plato

That team lost in the sweet 16 because they had to play K. Collinsworth at the 5

No bigs is a significantly different than great bigs.

Charles Darwin

4/1/20 9:07pm

KC wasn't playing the 5.

byubyu

4/1/20 9:11pm

KC absolutely played the 5, and was guarding their Center a lot of the 2nd

Edited: I was wrong

Plato

Florida didn't have a center. They played 2 forwards.

It wasn't just Tyus, It was both him and Macklin. And the switch happened part

ayfan

Macklin had just 4 FGs and 5 rebounds in 32 minutes.

Right, and only Lowell will play out on the perimeter. The other three

No it’s about athleticism and skill whether you’re tall or short

It doesn't break down so simply. Both college and the NBA disagree that it's

What he should’ve said is basketball isn’t about height

Lowell is 6'10" and shoots 38% on 3-pointers. Harward is an NBA-sized center.

Most importantly, with an attitude.

Harward will be a beast. The story I heard is that in practice Yoeli didn't want

rockyrd

I wouldn't say Yo didn't want a piece of Harward but Harward could hold his own

Just telling you what I heard from inside the program.

rockyrd

4/2/20 10:01am

That would be a good sign. Wasn't it Harward who took out Baxter in practice?

Forzaitalia

Watched some practice this past season and heard from others who did the same.

Because Pope is their coach, and because Rose is no longer coaching the Bigs (no offense to his greatness, Rose)
