I don’t see it

Haarms and Harward are both going to be pretty good and you can’t play three centers easily

So our guards are Barcello, Harding, Knell, Wade, George, Johnson, and Erickson.

I'm not sure George is really a guard

Indy Coug

5/27/20 2:22pm

He’s definitely not a guard from what I have seen

With Haarms, Hardward, Lowell, and Lee, how much PT is really available for

ldssdl

5/27/20 2:27pm

He'll play the 3, but probably never the 2.

No touching

5/27/20 2:29pm

Perhaps I should have said perimeter player or wing instead of guard then.

ldssdl

5/27/20 2:31pm

Some suggest to think of it as 3 positions: ball handlers, wings, rim protectors

Not necessarily. In interviews with both him and his coach they talked about

Only one of those is potentially playing his spot. Non factor

I'd like a ball-handling PG. Liked Barcello much more at the 2 last year.

Mr. Scoobs

Barcello thrived in his off-ball role, but if you want a great defense, it's

Agreed. AB is a good PG. Can he be an outstanding one, which is necessary for a

There is still another scholarship so whomever they end up landing might change

I agree with this although Knell could slide in for Wade or Johnson

George maybe, but

I strongly disagree

Baxter averaged about one made 3 a game his Jr/Sr years of HS. Don't know what

ayfan

He definitely needs training (that he may already have had enough of)

puntersarepeople

5/27/20 3:48pm

You are free to disagree

NowIsTheTime

5/27/20 3:59pm

I don’t think anybody expects him to shoot a ton of threes, just wide open ones

puntersarepeople

5/27/20 4:23pm

yep, if the bigs want more playing time they will need to be able to hit the 3..

icecougar

5/27/20 7:21pm

Agreed. Signed, Dalton Nixon

icecougar

5/27/20 7:14pm

yeah, people are quick to write Knell off but I think he'll surprise some...

icecougar

5/27/20 7:02pm

4 certain starters, IMO: Harward, Barcello, Harding, Haarms. Lots of candidates

roseyscenario

5/27/20 3:07pm

How is he going to play with Haarms? Can he move well enough to do that?

puntersarepeople

5/27/20 3:31pm

Harward is strictly a low post banger. Haarms would fill the 4 if paired with..

icecougar

5/27/20 8:06pm

My thoughts exactly

puntersarepeople

5/27/20 8:13pm

With 40 minutes at the center position, if they each play 25, that's only 10

runnincoug

5/29/20 11:52am

It would only be 5 minutes. Each gets 20 at C. Then play together for 5

ayfan

5/29/20 11:58am

No you’re doing your math wrong

5/29/20 12:04pm

Here's hoping that Baxter develops as hoped into that 5th starter. PG still a

Wow, you are that high on Harward. I don't know much about him other than to

Mitty

Agreed - although we may have to get creative

JoeExotic

Lee should be in the rotation

Remigius

I don’t see it

5/27/20 3:32pm

5 to 8 minutes per game off the bench would be about right.

Pope and staff have their work cut out for them with lack of a true PG. BYU has

Forzaitalia

5/29/20 11:45am

"True PGs" seem to be dying anyway so it's not a big deal

Lip Gallagher

5/29/20 2:42pm

Erickson will contribute at the 2. He is a versatile scorer, and plus defender

ayfan

5/27/20 2:41pm

I'm not so sure we'll see Harding running the point. Connor reminds me...

icecougar

Twice the athlete (ok, maybe 3x) as BZ but we'll see what role(s) he plays

Basketball walk ons rarely do anything. It's not like football. Just saying.

Lip Gallagher

5/27/20 6:45pm

Johnson is not a sleeper for the 8-man rotation

WesternCoug

5/27/20 6:51pm

Let's not pretend there are any guarantees about anything.

Lip Gallagher

5/27/20 7:03pm

The only thing near guarantee level is Barcello will play a lot

You'll hear a loud collective groan from Cougar Nation if (Heaven forbid)...

Harding was all state QB and led his team to football State title.
