He can be playing for money next year and maybe get closer to home doing it. Only makes sense for him to go. He could change his mind but it seems unlikely.

Pretty sure we’re looking at a scholarship crunch for next season

I have a feeling we see Lee and Knell transfer. Lee to UVU and knell to a

I expect Harding & Lee back next year.

2/26/21 12:45pm

Lee still provides value especially big man goes down. Harding needs to be

I don't think he will have offers - unless he switches to football - left tackle

Phreddy

2/26/21 12:48pm

I think every player on this team would have a place to go if they ever left. That's the beauty of Pope....

Knell a likely starter next year. Hope he stays. Would like Lee to stay also.

2/26/21 12:54pm

I think you are right on about Knell next year. Don't know if Lee will play

Phreddy

2/26/21 12:57pm

Lee’s wife is on Women’s hoop team.

Goatnapper'96

2/26/21 1:00pm

He will be on the team - I just don't think he will get much time

Phreddy

2/26/21 1:06pm

I think he will play more next year than this.

Goatnapper'96

2/26/21 1:11pm

Nice Kid but I hope that is not true from a talent level on the team perspective

Phreddy

2/26/21 1:28pm

Even if Haarms were to stay, I don't see how Atiki's not our primary backup

SinkingQuffa

2/27/21 9:48am

We need some depth with someone that can bang down low; Harward will have foul

BYU'01

Pope loves Knell. And Lee's wife is also at BYU, hard to see him transferring.

2/26/21 2:08pm

Knell's got upside as a situational shooter. He stays.

SinkingQuffa

2/26/21 6:37pm

Not sure why Knell would transfer

I guess if Lee crossed town to uvu things wouldn't be so bad w the wifey.

maybe a disappointing season of underperforming combined with an off-season of..

I think BYU needs Barcello to stay or replace him with a transfer

BYU Fan

2/26/21 12:41pm

I don’t think Hansen will be on scholarship.

Goatnapper'96

2/26/21 12:42pm

I would guess Trey Stewart is also asked to walkon first year unless Barcello stays

mokelembembe

2/26/21 1:04pm

Uh, no.

Lip Gallagher

I'd love to see pope keep everyone and develop team chemistry

Mostlyaccurate

2/26/21 12:46pm

I agree. I really believe BYU’s rotation next year is 10.

Goatnapper'96

2/26/21 12:57pm

Does everyone get an extra year? I thought it was just seniors

LeonMarek

2/26/21 1:05pm

So, the same as every year?

mwcoug

2/26/21 1:26pm

We added 3 players last summer. Very different from that

DieHarder

2/26/21 1:33pm

It just seems like we always talk about scholarship crunches, not having more

mwcoug

2/26/21 1:39pm

Check out the Google sheets list of players. Maybe there won't be a cap

Hinta

2/26/21 1:36pm

There will be a cap, but it's likely to be 16.

Lance71

2/26/21 2:20pm

My prediction is AB and BA come back. Haarms is clearly gone.

CrimWalCoug

2/26/21 2:21pm

Interesting. As Joaquin Andujar said: "There is one word in America says it all,

roseyscenario

2/26/21 2:33pm

I agree at least AB and then BA depending on how the year goes. I love AB but

johnnybyu

Haarms will be back next year

JCowart

2/26/21 11:56pm

I think the coaches try really hard to talk him into it. It's for his own good.

SinkingQuffa

2/27/21 3:59am

He can develop those skills elsewhere. I don't think Haarms will stick around.

BYUALWAYSNUM1

2/27/21 8:02am

But if he trusts the coaches to for sure help him meet his goals — why

SinkingQuffa

2/27/21 9:43am

IMO he'd be better served going pro overseas

JoeExotic

2/27/21 8:27am

Why come to BYU in the first place? Was a grad transfer--coulda left a year ago.

SinkingQuffa

2/27/21 5:48pm

Absolutely not for his own good

Lip Gallagher

2/27/21 9:22am

He's already decided that he's leaving

Cougrrrs Roll

2/27/21 9:41am

Nope...he’s already told folks internally that he is coming back.

JCowart

2/27/21 2:34pm

Source? 100%?

OK whatever

Sure hope so. Not sure there are any Point Guards on that list.

Is Jesse Wade not on scholarship

Oldcougfan

Don't believe so.

byulover

It's a crunch without even taking into account Pope likes to get transfers

Hinta

2/26/21 3:23pm

Why do people make future potential predictions based on freshman

Lip Gallagher

2/26/21 5:03pm

Calvert? Uh...athletically...not even a similar animal.

SinkingQuffa

Do you really know anything or are you just guessing?

Are you sure we don't get more scholarships since the NCAA gave extra

sandiegocgrfan

2/27/21 1:30pm

It hasn't been approved yet. But they are considering 16 scholarships

Lance71

2/27/21 1:56pm

Seniors can return for the extra year and not be counted

Cougrrrs Roll

2/28/21 9:49pm

Only get 13 headcount scholarships for basketball

Cougrrrs Roll

2/28/21 9:56pm

14 is with the assumption of Hansen added.
