Given the type & level of player he is, we should expect a lot better than that.

If he is fully healthy, as reported. Pope began looking past him this last year only because of his injury. We were able to sign Averette because Jesse relinquished his schollie & agreed to stay on as a walkon (& even contemplated quitting).

If Wade's healthy, though — we can't forget the level of recruit he is.

Jesse Wade making buckets

I know that Wade is actually really good, but I don't get excited over someone sitting there making some shots.

RdF3

9/29/20 6:32pm

I think the bigger story is he seems to be healthy. We need another Guard who can play the Point.

CrimWalCoug

9/29/20 6:35pm

Again, you can’t take anything away from that video. It doesn’t prove he’s healthy.

RdF3

9/29/20 6:36pm

I mean, I don't think anyone sees it as hard proof, but it's encouraging to see

Epileptic Beagle

Has nothing to do with usu or byu. I just have this hobby horse about seeing people online get excited that some player

RdF3

9/30/20 8:45am

Yeah, but what I mean is it's exciting for fans of the team to see a player

Epileptic Beagle

9/30/20 8:47am

I'm absolutely a fan of byu basketball.

RdF3

9/30/20 8:54am

Not everyone remembers swish. But I do. Go Aggies!

Epileptic Beagle

Yes, I’m an Aggie fan first, but I’m also a fan of BYU.

There's a phrase for guys like you: "Not a true BYU fan."

BleedCougarBlue2

9/30/20 7:02pm

C'mon man, that's not fair. No spittin on our own. Even if he is an Aggie 1st.

SinkingQuffa

He said last spring that he was 100% and feeling the best physically...

I expect nothing from him. Anything more than that would be a pleasant surprise.

raines31

9/29/20 6:45pm

Prepare to be surprised. His injury was no joke & a huge disappointment

Easy there! Jesse is a great shooter,

I'm not expecting him to, but in the course of the season it could EASILY happen

SinkingQuffa

^^Never seen Wade play. Dudes a legit scorer. He will be a fun one.

cougsrule

9/30/20 12:43am

No one has ever doubted he was a great player and scorer.

BYUHgrad

9/30/20 6:13am

I think more than a few fans are unaware how good he was/is.

SinkingQuffa

9/30/20 8:49am

Yep, I'm with you, if he gives us 8 minutes a game the next two years

Mitty

9/29/20 10:36pm

Given the type & level of player he is, we should expect a lot better than that.

SinkingQuffa

9/29/20 10:58pm

It's unfortunate but it made sense to relinquish the schollie, he hasn't yet

Mitty

9/29/20 11:15pm

As long as he's healthy & practicing, no reason to be fatalistic.

SinkingQuffa

9/30/20 12:07am

That “level of recruit” looked completely out of place at Gonzaga. Completely.

raines31

9/30/20 12:12am

Straight back from a mission as a spot player?

SinkingQuffa

9/30/20 12:17am

a lot of freshman struggle in adjusting to the D-1 game. Especially after a 2 yr

icecougar

9/30/20 1:26pm

Wade is not seen as a PG at all. 3rd PG might be Harding or Johnson before Wade.

roseyscenario

9/29/20 9:43pm

I could see Dave playing Wade at the 2 beyond short stretches, but not

SinkingQuffa

9/29/20 10:33pm

Won't he be too small to pair defensively with AB or BA? I figured he

Mitty

9/29/20 10:37pm

Averette is shorter, yet he will be on court with AB more than half the game.

roseyscenario

9/30/20 9:02am

Good point, we won't have big guards but we'll be big everywhere else.

Mitty

9/30/20 9:16am

Pope has several big guards who will play a lot. I believe you are correct

NowIsTheTime

9/30/20 9:34am

If Jesse's gonna play much this year it'll be because he forces the issue.

SinkingQuffa

9/30/20 10:08am

Averette's standing reach best's Wade's by 6 inches probably, though.

SinkingQuffa

9/30/20 9:25am

I know it. Shame on Indy for sharing. If it ain't 100% useful,

SinkingQuffa

9/29/20 6:47pm

It’s just a pet peeve of mine when people get excited about a player making a few shots in a row in shoot around.

RdF3

9/29/20 6:53pm

Considering the news I've heard on Jesse over the last year-n-a-half

SinkingQuffa

9/29/20 6:58pm

I know of a few BYU players who were healthy and couldn’t make 10 three pointers

LakeshowCougs

9/29/20 7:00pm

I’m a crappy basketball player and can easily make 15 in a row.

RdF3

Nah. Nice try, tho

Is the dude's knee or whatever better finally? I mean how long does it

Mitty

It was a really stubborn injury that was mismanaged.

SinkingQuffa

It's going to be hard to find minutes on this team but I think Wade will...
