As long as Wade's in the mix (yes, I agree we can't expect anything from him,

despite the dormant talent).

But as long as Wade's healthy heading into summer, I have a hard time projecting Averette as a "key reserve" kinda kid. I sure hope he comes in with the mentality & goal of seizing that sort of role for himself, but I highly doubt Pope's promised that role to him were he to sign.

So it may be Averette?

No touching All-American

didn't realize that dude was still on the market

He just became available

6/2/20 5:08am

Interesting. Guess I had it backwards. IIRC he was someone CB talked about as a potential transfer a long time ago so I

Averette would be a good signing. Fast guard who can penetrate

ayfan

6/1/20 7:01pm

Yeah and he probably won’t get lots of minutes

puntersarepeople

6/1/20 7:03pm

He played 20 minutes per game on a solid Oklahoma St team as a Sophomore

ayfan

6/1/20 7:20pm

Oh really?

puntersarepeople

6/1/20 9:05pm

I think he's the perfect fit. Excited to see him in there.

mokelembembe

6/1/20 7:07pm

Didn't you once mention him as a possible transfer?

No touching

6/1/20 7:10pm

Yeah I was hoping. It seemed like he was planning on staying though.

mokelembembe

6/1/20 7:12pm

Same. Would love having 2 guards like him and Barcello starting and splitting pg

Highlights......

I like his highlights

Vegasjohn

1 year. He'd be a grad transfer.

jreid191

6/1/20 8:55pm

He would be very good at the point for us

NowIsTheTime

Grad transfer?

coug10278

6/1/20 7:24pm

yes

No touching

We need PG help right away. I think he would be a good fit

It could bcm a bit sticky if Wade comes on strong this summer.

SinkingQuffa

6/2/20 3:11am

Averette is much more ready for PG duty than Wade. After 5 years, if BYU gets

roseyscenario

6/2/20 6:56am

I agree we'll need another 1 that's at least capable defensively

SinkingQuffa

6/2/20 10:20am

IMO, he would be 20+ major minute guy, 6th or 7th man. Big role.

roseyscenario

6/2/20 10:28am

He got 15 mpg as a freshman and 20 mpg as a sophomore for OSU.

jreid191

6/2/20 10:41am

Assuming Wade doesn't play a lick. That was the reason for my post.

SinkingQuffa

6/2/20 10:43am

Averette is simply better than you think.

roseyscenario

6/2/20 11:03am

Maybe so. As a facilitator I wasn't very impressed at all. I saw two games.

SinkingQuffa

6/2/20 11:11am

Where would those minutes come from? If Barcello plays 30 minutes

runnincoug

6/2/20 11:01am

He's a Barcello/Harding equivalent, IMO, at least.

roseyscenario

6/2/20 11:08am

As a facilitator? Wow, I really had to catch more UVU games last year.

SinkingQuffa

6/2/20 11:16am

Maybe you will be right. I think otherwise. Games have to be played. Depends in

roseyscenario

6/2/20 11:27am

Like I said, he's a solid signing for a backup as a Sr transfer. We'd be

SinkingQuffa

6/2/20 11:29am

You keep saying backup, which diminishes his standing as a top 6 or 7 player.

Barcello may be better at the 2 than at the 1, but is also better at the 1 than

jreid191

6/2/20 11:19am

Over Harding/Johnson? He's kind of short at the 2 unless we have length at the 1

runnincoug

6/2/20 11:29am

Length does matter. But at PG, lots of great short ones. Don't see him @ 2 on D.

roseyscenario

6/2/20 11:40am

I really like Isaiah Washington as well and think he'd be a great fit for this

jreid191

6/1/20 8:03pm

I'd take him over anyone else. A quick pg who can penetrate with his quicks

Ash

6/1/20 8:26pm

I like him. Did Pope recruit him?

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

6/2/20 9:15am

Yes. He redshirted at UVU during Pope's final season there.

jreid191

6/2/20 9:20am

Averette is a powerful

WesternCoug

I hope Pope gets him!

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

It'd be crazy if he didn't have any "top" schools and Just chose BYU.

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

6/2/20 12:10pm

he'd be perfect...

icecougar

6/2/20 1:44pm

With Alverette we might be foul-out proof

Vegasjohn

6/2/20 2:18pm

hahaa...unless they bring a few extra refs

icecougar

6/2/20 3:21pm

Man, I wish that were as funny as it shoulda been.

SinkingQuffa

6/2/20 3:34pm

IMO, among all discussed PG transfers, this is Player BYU needs most, assuming

roseyscenario

6/2/20 6:00pm

If he does suddenly sign, I wonder if he's not been in the bag for a while

I've heard coaches say (Fueger said it again yesterday), that

It means the coaches are willing to sit down & "have the conversation" w/ only

SinkingQuffa

Probably correct, but

NowIsTheTime

6/2/20 9:07pm

It used to seem like they were for sure looking for 2 transfers and now the vibe

jreid191

6/2/20 9:15pm

Likely true. Looked like a player was not going to make a return after a multi

roseyscenario

6/2/20 9:59pm

I'm glad the numbers at least show that coach really hates

SinkingQuffa

6/2/20 9:18pm

Lots of "strategery" going on with roster management.

Frankincense

6/2/20 9:31pm

Pope gets paid enough, I don't feel all too bad for him.

SinkingQuffa

6/2/20 9:36pm

Criddle has said that Wade isn't on schollie currently.

mokelembembe

6/2/20 9:34pm

Didn't know that, there's the answer

Frankincense

6/2/20 9:45pm

Signing up to two guys doesn’t necessarily mean that both would be playing this

You’re talking about two different things
