I'm more optimistic than I was three months ago about 2020/2021. With so many

disparate new parts to integrate, Pope has his work cut out for him. Hoping for the best.

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

jreid191

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.

Link? Everything I’ve seen says it’s unlikely

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

This season? Maybe, but we might not have a single special scorer.

5thNephi

5/26/20 4:36pm

I don’t think we need one

puntersarepeople

5/26/20 4:38pm

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

5/26/20 4:44pm

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

I hope so. But I think those Zags lineups had many more capable scorers than

5thNephi

5/26/20 8:25pm

true, we have a lot to prove this coming season...

icecougar

5/26/20 8:46pm

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

puntersarepeople

5/26/20 8:30pm

I really think they’re going to struggle offensively without TJ, Yoeli, and Jake

initially but I think they'll come together during the OOC schedule just like...

I don’t know much about Lowell and Harward

D.T. Survivor

5/26/20 9:44pm

Pope is bullish on Harward

Running an effective system like that is very tough when your opponent

It's read and react so there's always a counter to whatever the defense does...
