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

SinkingQuffa Intervention Needed

Cuz if you do your description of him is vastly at odds with how Pope recently described his practice performance lately.

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

1/20/21 8:01pm

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

1/20/21 8:13pm

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
