the only incoming players who have not played D-1 basketball are Spencer Johnson, Gideon George, Hunter Erickson and Caleb Lohner (if he commits). Everyone else has shown to some degree that they can score at the D-1 level.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You are correct

6/25/20 5:35pm

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

Mitty

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.

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

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

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

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

Kind of reminds me of Jonah Trinnaman

That kid definitely had some eye-popping athleticism.

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

I’d be interested to see him play with KAT

KAT?

Yes, that’s a common abbreviation

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

SlantRoute

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

No, I haven't seen a loaded front line quite like this year in 50 years. The

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

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