The Hillstead transfer has me a bit worried, but for different reasons.

Isn't he friends with Koz?

That's news to me. I didn't think BYU had any connections

MajorZeus

His family probably pushed it. They are big Utah fans.

I would guess Pope pushed it.

Seems like he went for Pope not for Kentucky, so maybe not that hasty.

KU has loaded up with high quality transfers. Here’s another one.

TempeCoug

They will be more than five deep this year.

Bill Self knows the weakness that was March 2024

MajorZeus

Big deal. We beat them in Lawrence. We're better until proven otherwise.

We need more assistant and player announcements to get CB away from Pope talk

Hoopster

"I plan to just ignore Pope/UK"... but then posts about him

Why are you still talking about our last coach?

LV Mike

7:31am

So, as of right now, our depth chart looks like this?

LeonMarek

7:10am

We need Hall or transfer portal as the PG.

fbguru

That’s not bad. And should get better.

In this highly unlikely scenario, Baker would play PG and Knell SG

A Drew Aitch

BYU makes top 6 for this guy. What do we know abt him?

Soupie Grandma Sycamore

7:03am

He apparently plays basketball in Hell?

BoiseBlue

7:04am

Which makes sense why he’s down to 6 instead of the standard 5

Powerbait DPM

7:18am

Another Utah transfer? Nice.

Hambone

7:20am

Looks like a deacon in my ward

SJS

7:04am

He’s a point guard in a 6-8 body. Can shoot and drive and is smooth.

Forbidden Fruit

7:07am

He's good. (highlights below) Pope reached out to him before going to UK.

Mostlyaccurate

7:08am

He's got some of that Jaxson Robinson type skillset. I remember a couple national media types saying

mokelembembe

7:09am

A versatile, skilled 6’8 guard/wing who can provide mins at 1-3

mjmill

7:16am

Sounds like he could fill a Jax type roll.

Soupie

7:18am

He played well against BYU 2 years ago while he was at Dayton. He's an excellent combo guard option. What BYU needs most

roseyscenario

7:16am

I think he wants to play PG, so I doubt we get him.

Is that really what you're seeing here over the last week? You sure you know how "><" logic works?

SinkingQuffa

7:00am

Yeah Lane Kiffin needed security to get out of Tennessee and they burned stuff

califcougar

7:04am

A major portion of Tennessee's loudest fans are proud hillbillies that live within 100 miles of the school

SinkingQuffa

7:12am

BYU isn’t comparing itself to that situation.

bluesloth

7:15am

But one fan is trying to here, ain't he?

SinkingQuffa

7:16am

He’s contrasting our fans with theirs. How is that a problem? Shouldn’t we want

bluesloth

7:21am

Because he's being apologetic of the nasty element of CB right now

SinkingQuffa

7:28am

That's the whole point.

shoganai

7:15am

I'm seeing a clear comparison. We're supposed to be proud of ourselves cuz we're clearly better

SinkingQuffa

7:18am

You are free to disagree and not feel proud of BYU fans.

shoganai

7:20am

I do realize that the Pope-hating element on the board here is not fairly representative of our fanbase.

SinkingQuffa

I really don't see what the point of continuing this thread is.
