Hopefully between AB, Harding, Johnson & Lowell we can find at least 1, but I'm not too certain on that. If we gotta turn to the RM Erickson we'll probably be lucky to clinch 4th in the WCC. Rose's recruiting really was poor the last few years.

George is a transfer. Just because he came from JC instead of another D1 school

Actually, he's a JC graduate. Though Johnson could be counted as a JC transfer

Still a transfer student regardless. Grad transfers graduated from their

You're right. But in common parlance a simple "transfer" in D1 sports often

They used to commonly be called "JC transfers"

McClung isn’t eligible next year right? So doesn’t matter for

Most people seem to think he would be granted a waiver.

Sorry, only 1 transfer committed but about 6 or 7 others have BYU in there top 5

George is a JC transfer from New Mexico. McClung will ask NCAA to play

This team will make the tourney without McClung IMO

I don’t think we need one

To beat the likes of Gonzaga, we sure will. Our defense & boards

I agree with Punters, I think we'll be fine with a balanced scoring attack...

I wouldn’t expect us to be top 5 or anywhere close

It will be a different team for sure. Likely a top 25 rebounding team and one...

Pope is bullish on Harward
