they want to sign "1 or 2 more guys." According to the verbal commits spreadsheet (below), we have 12 guys on scholarship, NCAA only allows 13. What's the story with the "2 more guys" when we only have one schollie to give? Anyone know?

So it may be Averette?

didn't realize that dude was still on the market

He just became available

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?

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

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.

roseyscenario

6/2/20 11:37am

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

6/2/20 11:44am

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

SinkingQuffa

6/2/20 6:25pm

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

NowIsTheTime

6/2/20 8:39pm

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

SinkingQuffa

6/2/20 9:00pm

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
