Don’t think it is a coincidence that value of Young’s contract is more than

bluegaucho

12:53pm

So why was Young the highest paid assistant? His resume doesn't seem amazing

Hill4Heisman

12:52pm

Because he's a good coach?

To keep him from going elsewhere

NBA teams aren’t paying assistants based on Resume. They know who the most

Funny thing is - if you would have asked if we could Upgrade to KY over Pope

Julius Pepperwood

12:52pm

If it were Pope and Chandler for Young, would folks still have taken that trade?

MightyFreakingCougar

12:53pm

I think it's a long term upgrade, but there might be some short term pain

El Jefe

12:55pm

Young is a better coach than Pope. We’ll soon see if he can recruit.

12:52pm

How do we know he's an upgrade?

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

Honestly, we don't know that yet.

mudpupper

Could chandler potentially come back? Or can he not enter the portal?

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

He could - but he is a Pope guy 100%. He's going to UK

Sure just curious

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

He supposedly reaffirmed commitment to UK after Young hire was announced.

He's a free agent post mission until he signs an NLI, but he's gone

Who are potential targets in the transfer portal to fill the gaps …

Guard from LMU is still available

Too many names to list

kimdaddy35

So far Dallin Hall (BYU), Richie Saunders (BYU), and Aly Khalifa (BYU).

we should target Kentucky players. i hear their new coach is only average.

I know of at least one other player who was trying to work it out to hit the portal, but thankfully has a significant

TempeCoug

12:49pm

Nationally, this was big. It could flame out, but this was a statement

SoBlueitHurts

12:50pm

He likely is. Pope was on the hot seat before this year

BYU '80

12:50pm

That’s because he is.

Alan Schaefer

12:51pm

Young was the only LDS guy on the planet that would be an upgrade over Pope

tacallaway

He’s correct

DavisCoCoug

Bingo. Just win a single tournament game and we will love you.

None of those schools are paying buyouts to the MW to join WSU or OSU.

jackcrack7

12:43pm

They really should include USU. It would make them better.

TailgateU

12:44pm

Just an opinion but USU would be a great add there.

I'd rather USU be in the 8th best conference than the 5th best conference

thewaterboy

Didn't the MWC sign a deal with them that they have to take all of them?

CameronG

12:46pm

I think they can pick and choose, but have to pay hefty penalties if they don't

12:49pm

You're right, they'd have to pay $67.5M for 6 schools and that's before school

CameronG

12:54pm

Are they having a secret meeting at the airport?

Slightly a rumor. It's been understood for the last year that they would rather

And we don’t have to put up with the coach that was hired by Kentucky anymore.

Who knows how he'll pan out, regardless, he was our highest rated recruit in forever. It hurts to lose him.

Jimo Dashen

So many sour grapes.

durandal

We can't afford to lose good players, but if someone is not with us, so be it.
