I think Barcello is this season’s Toolson as far as leadership is concerned.

CrimWalCoug All-American in practice

But there is likely a gap after that.

How is this year’s team even close to being as good as last year’s team? Two answers.

CrimWalCoug All-American in practice

Simple answer: they aren't

mudpupper

1/20/21 7:43pm

Yet they have a better record and are being prognosticated to make the tournament with a decent seed.

CrimWalCoug

1/20/21 7:52pm

Weaker schedule and didn’t have their best player sitting out half the year

puntersarepeople

1/20/21 7:54pm

It wasn’t a weaker schedule

cougfan03

1/20/21 7:59pm

It surely isn't as pretty, and we lack the crazy-good shooting of last year, but

BamaCoug

1/20/21 10:42pm

They aren’t.

Each team has a flaw. Last year BYU didn’t have the players in the post to bang

ldssdl

1/20/21 7:52pm

Height, depth, athleticism. We don't have an elite post scorer like Yoeli

SinkingQuffa

Bro you’re smoking something

puntersarepeople

1/20/21 8:05pm

I did wrap up the last 10 minutes of that USF game like a fine strain

SinkingQuffa

1/20/21 8:15pm

give me a break

puntersarepeople

1/20/21 8:33pm

If they bodied Yo up correctly — like Bennet drilled into his guy to do —

SinkingQuffa

1/20/21 8:43pm

😂 man this years team can only dream of being as good as last year’s team

puntersarepeople

1/20/21 8:48pm

In reality, they're already better. I think last week proved it.

SinkingQuffa

1/20/21 8:51pm

Disagree. Last year's team even with YC didn't rebound well. I think you guys

Ash

1/20/21 9:53pm

This team is really different than last years, and yet it is a solid team

D.T. Survivor

1/20/21 9:22pm

All-time because of what they were, or because what they did?

SinkingQuffa

1/21/21 2:52am

How do you think this year's SMC compares to last years SMC squad?

archie

1/21/21 7:55am

They didn't come close to replacing the talent of Ford & Fitts.

SinkingQuffa

1/21/21 11:23am

I just saw that SMC just got their first win of the conference

archie

1/22/21 8:50am

One of several problems w your point, though

SinkingQuffa

1/22/21 9:02am

Interest in piqued. Why is pope intentionally keeping his team down?

StalwartBraveTrue

1/22/21 9:07am

My theory is that our current rotation is too undisciplined on offense

SinkingQuffa

1/22/21 5:16pm

Okay. I’ll be on the look out the next few games for signs of this.

StalwartBraveTrue

1/22/21 5:28pm

Last year's team was the best since Jimmer's senior year. We won't know for sure

D.T. Survivor

1/22/21 4:17pm

erickson is elite? he looks average at best. And the fact he doesn't play at all

bald man

1/21/21 8:18am

"elite athlete" And how would you know what he looks like? Go to practice?

SinkingQuffa

1/21/21 11:12am

I’m going off the fact he played a little in the

bald man

1/21/21 7:20pm

Not this time he didn't. His tone & substance didn't suggest that at all.

SinkingQuffa

1/21/21 7:28pm

I love the team this year, but the one huge things we miss is the experience

RebelScum

I think Barcello is this season’s Toolson as far as leadership is concerned.

CrimWalCoug

1/20/21 8:16pm

Definitely great leadership with him, for sure.

RebelScum

1/20/21 8:16pm

Seems like there’s still some major upside as this team still has a lot of room

Refugee

1/21/21 4:41am

Big difference is TJ haws. We miss him this year. He created shots For team.

POLISHcoug

1/20/21 8:21pm

Oh yeah. I'd take the TJ team because of him, but I can't stand seeing teams

Ash

1/20/21 9:55pm

Not me. I’m still not sure how CB created a “Haws sucks” narrative

puntersarepeople

1/20/21 10:16pm

We have a lot of "fans" on here who don't understand anything about sports other

Ash

1/21/21 6:47am

That is very sad and true.

POLISHcoug

1/21/21 11:39am

100%. TJ would make this team into a top 15 type team with his playmaking.

archie

1/21/21 7:59am

Deeper team that grinds and result is more consistent not necessarily better

stansburycoug

1/20/21 8:42pm

This team has a lot of upside if they can start to hit shots.

StalwartBraveTrue

1/20/21 8:48pm

RE: This team has a lot of upside if they can start to hit shots.

Doogser

1/20/21 9:04pm

Agree. Imagine if teams have to respect the three and figure out how to stop big

StalwartBraveTrue

1/20/21 9:23pm

Ya I miss having 5 guys on the floor able to hit the 3. That is the one thing

Blue chunks

1/20/21 10:04pm

Need a few home games. Does wonders for FG%.

Bluforever

1/20/21 9:05pm

Yep. Length goes a long way in hoops. Pope has recruited very well to avoid

Ash

1/20/21 9:51pm

Team would be scary good if Baxter was healthy

bad84cougar

1/20/21 9:56pm

One word: POPE

BYUvermont

1/20/21 10:48pm

Answer is: DEFENSE and depth
