Hey Pope:

ChiCityCoug

9:44pm

Where has the Saunders watcher been? We need an update.

Blueto

9:44pm

Shout out to Robby McCombs: well sourced & usually right.

Forzaitalia

9:44pm

At this point, he seems to be the most reliable insider

Lakers…smh..this is a veteran team down 2-0 to a team that has beat them…

Does that make Waterman the bitter son who never left?

paulb

9:42pm

There's no way he's regretting it.

Jeffacka

9:42pm

Why would he regret it?

fredetteaboutit13

9:43pm

Need 3 guards and 2 bigs

Dr T-bone

9:37pm

Add one less guard but add a wing that can handle the ball

puntersarepeople

9:40pm

I'd say a PG, a Combo G and a wing. Another Post player. Don't really care what

cougarfan84

9:42pm

Yes, as long as it is a 3 that can handle the ball

Dr T-bone

9:42pm

Yeah we need someone who can at least threaten teams from the perimeter like JRob

puntersarepeople

9:44pm

Just find a Michael Jordan type player. If not maybe a Danny Ainge type

Ted Lasso

9:41pm

Oklahoma had a guy who is 6’8”, 322 lbs? Didn’t know that.

Japan Coug

9:36pm

Yeah, and I wanted him to go to SF.

Jeffacka

9:37pm

The chiefs just drafted the fastest receiver in combine history

gww687

9:36pm

Definitely their biggest need lucky to have him fall in their laps

Cougz19

9:37pm

Henry Ruggs. John Ross.

TCuz

9:37pm

Did they run faster 40s? I thought worthy was fastest

gww687

9:41pm

Worthy is faster

TCuz

9:42pm

He wrecked us in Austin, IIRC.

Japan Coug

9:37pm

Really slight frame, maybe like a DaVonta Smith.

GfB

9:38pm

He is not close to the receiver Smith was

LakeshowCougs

9:44pm

And Al Davis just rolled over in his grave

Accipiter

9:44pm

And doing it through a trade with the Bills who needed a WR like him too

braddahmike

9:44pm

Say what you will about the Falcons taking Penix but he’s going to be great once

fredetteaboutit13

9:34pm

The Xavier Worthy fantasy draft slot is going to be very, very, very high.

TCuz Coastal Elite

9:34pm

Jalen Blackman and Dallin Hall are both rated at 93 on 247 as a transfer

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

9:29pm

RE: Jalen Blackman and Dallin Hall are both rated at 93 on 247 as a transfer

Dark Forest Green

9:29pm

Can Blackman play the 2? I wouldn't mind that.

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

9:30pm

Absolutely he can. Same way Rudi Williams was best off the ball at the 2

mjmill

9:35pm

I’d rather take Dallin Jalen is undersized and not a great defender

Cougz19

9:30pm

I don’t know about Jalen’s defense but according to what I’ve read they are

Bullrider

9:37pm

Hall has 15 pounds on Jalen

puntersarepeople

9:39pm

I'd say they're similar. But their value is in the context of BYU's roster and scheme, not a rating on 247

puntersarepeople

9:31pm

Let’s get both

RenoCoug

9:32pm

This program really needs one or both, but if I had to pick, I would take the new guy.

Blue2thebone

9:35pm

This might be the right take if we can't get a scorer to replace Jax and need someone to play through

Hey Coach Pope, keep your NIL money. I’m going back to Provo.

BYUheaven

9:37pm

Wonder if it was a last ditch effort to keep Ritchie, last minute nil deal?

Dr T-bone

9:25pm

I think he saw his role diminished when andrej committed to uk

Cougz19

9:28pm

*listed Kentucky in top 3

Mexicougazul

9:29pm

He hasn't committed.

LifeLongLakerFan

9:29pm

Undoubtedly he got paid or he wouldn’t have returned

I'mBatman

9:40pm

There absolutely is doubt. He could have exactly the same NIL deal as he had

fattycoug

9:42pm

I think (very contrary to the snake-skin salesman take) that coach Pope had him out & laid out the best plan

SinkingQuffa

9:42pm

Need to make a push to get Sissoko as backup center or I would also take another

Cougz19

9:25pm

The Bills need a WR and trade their pick to their nemesis Chiefs who also need a WR. Wonderful.

TCuz Coastal Elite

9:24pm

Last Chiefs Bills draft trade worked out great imo.

GfB

9:25pm

And the Chiefs draft speedster WR Xavier Worthy. Not sure Mahomes has the arm for that.

TCuz

9:26pm

Chiefs seem to draft a WR every first round

RenoCoug

9:27pm

I can’t remember the last time the Chiefs drafted a first round WR. Not recently.

TCuz

9:29pm

NM, last WR in 1st was 2007, admittedly not a Chiefs fan

RenoCoug

9:31pm

Tyreek seemed to do pretty well in KC

Cougz19

RE: Tyreek seemed to do pretty well in KC

garyfan

9:31pm

Seems like a great pick for KC. Need weapons.

LifeLongLakerFan

9:34pm

Cooper DeJean slipping this far is a dream scenario for the Bills

Odysseus

9:23pm

Could actually be!

Desert Rat

9:27pm

As of tonight, here’s the roster:

mjmill All-American

9:21pm

Agree. Get Hall back and a legit big and this should be a competitive team again

Forzaitalia

9:24pm

Give me 2 athletic bigs, Hall, & 1 quick PG with good handles that can shoot FTs

VACougMD

9:25pm

If we get Hall, then another wing who can shoot after the bigs.

ConnCoug

9:25pm

If Hall goes down, you have to have someone that can handle the ball. If one of

VACougMD

9:27pm

Also Koz can fill a shooter role, forgot about that. Multiple ball handling options would be nice.

ConnCoug

9:39pm

Says 96% of all college coaches every day

Bluforever

9:26pm

Right. I'm stating the obvious, I know. haha

VACougMD

9:27pm

Trey is a quick PG with handles that shot free throws better than Dallin.

Boring

9:27pm

We need wings if Hall returns

LakeshowCougs

9:30pm

Jarom has been posting just like this on twitter with each roster update…

Kdubb

9:25pm

Haha yeah I’m Jarom + grey hair and a hundred pounds

mjmill

9:30pm

Don't be surprised if Young wants to play Davis and Waterman together when Fouss is out

puntersarepeople

9:26pm

Agreed. I could see KY using Waterman as a Euro style stretch 5 at times

mjmill

9:29pm

Don't you think he is our starter at that position?

Plato

9:31pm

That seems obvious. Davis is a bigger, better shooting Fous.... hopefully.

Plato

9:31pm

People undersell Fous. Fous is very good. Big, quick first step. Good moves

VACougMD

9:35pm

Yes, it would be a huge win. Fous is great.

Plato

9:37pm

He's taller but he isn't bigger. His shooting probably won't be better next year but his defense might be

puntersarepeople

9:36pm

If he's taller, he's bigger. Look at the tape. He's a strong dude.

Plato

9:37pm

Did we have no freshmen this yr?

Plato

9:29pm

Marcus Adams, but he obviously transferred.

RenoCoug

Some truth to that

I'mBatman

9:17pm

Just need Dallin to come back and Drake Allen to transfer and we good!

CougarGuy84

9:13pm

Drake Allen already committed to Utah state.

RdF3

9:14pm

He is trying to hit all of the mid major Utah teams before he graduates

A Drew Aitch

9:15pm

And Saunders was going to Kentucky…

ochobeeguy

9:22pm

he just committed to usu. idk if we were recruiting him. he wouldn’t start here.

Tyl3Rina

9:14pm

He’s going to usu as a backup pg. They already brought in a starting PG in front of him.

RdF3

9:16pm

If Dallin came back I’d be happy with Drake as a back up PG

A Drew Aitch

9:14pm

I don’t think he’s looking for a PWO spot but I’d take it!

DieHarder

9:16pm

Or Jalen Blackman if Dallin doesn't come back. Either would be great.

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

9:21pm

With Davis and Koz Saunders should get to play the 3 this year. If we get Dallin

johnnybyu

9:11pm

Get Hall back, add big(s?) and another pg.

Mostlyaccurate

9:12pm

Need another big. I would take Sissoko here unless KY has tricks up his sleeve.

LifeLongLakerFan

9:13pm

I'm hoping Justin Young and Dunson can work some magic.

Mostlyaccurate

9:14pm

Need another big and backup PG

RenoCoug

9:14pm

I would go athletic wing assuming Baker can play the 1 and we have Trey still.

johnnybyu

9:16pm

Yep after Hall that is the next need. Sissoko and Dallin and we are in great

johnnybyu

9:15pm

Ooooooh baby

I get the sentiment, but Saunders didn’t take a visit to UK because he

DieHarder

9:14pm

Now Dallin! Please Come back!

CougarGuy84

9:10pm

With Hall’s return and one more good transfer, we’re a solid B12 team again.

d-coug

9:09pm

Need a couple bigs

Buffalo

9:11pm

Need a center. If Waterman makes half of the improvement he did last year he

johnnybyu

9:13pm

Waterman needs to learn to finish strong and high.

LifeLongLakerFan

9:14pm

Dunk the ball, son

RenoCoug

9:17pm

Waterman could be the guy that benefits most from KY. I thought Waterman was

johnnybyu

9:21pm

Yeah, Waterman/Fouss/Davis/Koz are all plus rebounders. Might only need one more

d-coug

9:14pm

Waterman needs to put on some muscle. A little more strength would really help his game.

Housemartin

He went from waste of a scholarship to contributor last year, could be good

Spencer Rattler - South Carolina, Michael Pratt - Tulane.

Wow. Rattler has fallen from grace. Wasn't he the number 1 overall

LifeLongLakerFan

Broncos will pick all three of them.

ochobeeguy

Zach will have a chance to remake his career as a QB2. Not a bad gig

letthewookieewin Walking Carpet

#2 right now would be a good situation for Zach.

Sure it is. He is going to KY after all.
