best I remember I think was Kite, Roberts, Trumbo, Durrant era of the early 80's. Maybe I'm falling for the hype, but there seems to be so much quality depth on this team.

His versatility will ensure him lots of minutes, but we're desperate for points

Wow! This group hasn't had a single official practice and it's already short of

Don't mean to be a pessimist, but w/out a proven D1 scorer, it's tough to

SinkingQuffa

6/22/20 10:42pm

I would certainly call Averette and Haarms proven D1 Scorers... Barcello as well

Guys who can in a variety of ways give you a consistent & efficient 10+ pts?

SinkingQuffa

6/23/20 10:48am

what do you mean by proven D-1 scorer?

icecougar

6/23/20 3:24pm

The only guy who's been asked to carry a D1 team w his scoring ability

SinkingQuffa

6/23/20 4:50pm

UVU had pretty balanced scoring last season. Averette didn't have to carry the..

icecougar

6/23/20 6:17pm

I think we'll see balanced scoring too. But we need 1 or 2 guys who can really

SinkingQuffa

6/23/20 8:00pm

there's a mindset that needs to come naturally to a player to fill that role...

icecougar

6/25/20 1:43pm

While I don't see a sure-fire guy, let alone two, I'm confident

SinkingQuffa

6/26/20 12:29am

This year we will have some rough scoring droughts early I bet

puntersarepeople

6/26/20 8:28am

That can't be denied. I forget all the time how good we'll prob be on D this

SinkingQuffa

6/26/20 9:56am

I think we have guys that can score, maybe don’t have a closer. A go to guy

KendoVABeach

6/23/20 5:28pm

i'm willing to bet we have that guy...

icecougar

6/23/20 6:26pm

You are correct

NowIsTheTime

6/25/20 5:35pm

I think that makes sense to wonder about this, we lost so much scoring.

Mitty

6/23/20 3:25pm

Yet he may be the best pick and roll big

puntersarepeople

6/22/20 10:44pm

I think Haarms video shows he will be the number one big on the pick n roll.

jre85

6/22/20 10:52pm

He & Haarms hopefully gets some magic going w at least 1 other guy.

SinkingQuffa

6/23/20 6:56am

I agree. Start Baxter if healthy. Baxter has the most potential of any player.

Forzaitalia

6/22/20 10:56pm

His upside is insane. We’re so lucky to have Pope working with him. I

bigbossbyu

6/23/20 1:16am

I wish he were a more fluid player. I'd be more willing to see his

SinkingQuffa

6/23/20 7:41am

Kind of reminds me of Jonah Trinnaman

ThorLebowski

6/23/20 8:51am

That kid definitely had some eye-popping athleticism.

SinkingQuffa

6/23/20 8:58am

missing most of the past season was a real setback. He's no where near Yoeli's..

icecougar

6/23/20 7:07pm

I’d be interested to see him play with KAT

puntersarepeople

6/23/20 8:22pm

KAT?

icecougar

6/25/20 1:46pm

Yes, that’s a common abbreviation

puntersarepeople

6/25/20 5:41pm

You haven't seen anyone like Baxter at BYU in 50+ years?

SlantRoute

6/23/20 9:34am

Maybe he has info that “BYU fans are going to be excited about”

AF Cougar

Got it. I thought you were referring specifically to Baxter, only.

SlantRoute

6/23/20 10:59am

man, Baxter sure has a spin machine going on - I love the guy but he is not

Pobs

6/23/20 11:42am

Yep, he has a lot of development to do, still very raw.

Mitty

6/23/20 3:27pm

his jumper looks almost Lonzo Ball-ish

icecougar

6/23/20 3:20pm

It will certainly be interesting if he can earn a starting spot. He hasn't
