I had no idea who Kevin Young was when I woke up this am, but I'm a huge fan now

Wondering how Saunders, Hall, Khalifa and Davis are seeing this news. If it

Hopefully Isaac's Dad will weigh in.

Chandler big timing us makes me love Isaac and his dad even more now.

Davis' Dad has confirmed that Isaac is staying (like an hour ago)

Even though he hasn't coached a game yet. Young > Kalani

TNT to Kalani today

This is insane

That can't be right

He’s not dead, but somewhere Cecil Samuelson is rolling over.

Go Big or Go Home

Truly insane. All the years of CB angst over comp and then this happens.

JJ Reddick endorsing KY

Gustav

12:54pm

Don’t think it is a coincidence that value of Young’s contract is more than

bluegaucho

12:53pm

So why was Young the highest paid assistant? His resume doesn't seem amazing

Hill4Heisman

12:52pm

Because he's a good coach?

12:53pm

To keep him from going elsewhere

RenoCoug

12:54pm

NBA teams aren’t paying assistants based on Resume. They know who the most

califcougar

12:55pm

Because he is an offensive genius and everyone knows that. Doesn't matter his resume.

CSoul

12:56pm

You're right. I bet Phoenix is just stupid.

Geldir

12:57pm

Funny thing is - if you would have asked if we could Upgrade to KY over Pope

Julius Pepperwood

12:52pm

If it were Pope and Chandler for Young, would folks still have taken that trade?

MightyFreakingCougar

12:53pm

I think it's a long term upgrade, but there might be some short term pain

El Jefe

12:55pm

KY Has the same amount of NCAA Tourney wins as Pope

Julius Pepperwood

12:56pm

I was very excited about next year. Pope did actually put together something

Don Carlton

12:56pm

The trade isn't finished shaking out just yet. NIL is a wild ride.

tacallaway

12:58pm

Young is a better coach than Pope. We’ll soon see if he can recruit.

12:52pm

How do we know he's an upgrade?

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

12:53pm

Honestly, we don't know that yet.

mudpupper

12:54pm

Could chandler potentially come back? Or can he not enter the portal?

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

12:52pm

He could - but he is a Pope guy 100%. He's going to UK

Julius Pepperwood

12:52pm

Ship has sailed... moving on

Coug

12:52pm

Sure just curious

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

12:53pm

He supposedly reaffirmed commitment to UK after Young hire was announced.

Hoopster

I see

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

How? He was busy knocking doors!

MightyFreakingCougar

He's a free agent post mission until he signs an NLI, but he's gone

Who are potential targets in the transfer portal to fill the gaps …

BYU03OSU06

12:50pm

Guard from LMU is still available

RenoCoug

Too many names to list

kimdaddy35

12:51pm

So far Dallin Hall (BYU), Richie Saunders (BYU), and Aly Khalifa (BYU).

DieHarder

12:51pm

we should target Kentucky players. i hear their new coach is only average.

Norseman

I know of at least one other player who was trying to work it out to hit the portal, but thankfully has a significant

Does mean this mean beards are okay now??

There is now a demand for beards at BYU

Surprising…with KY you’d think for sure he would’ve picked BYU

TempeCoug

12:49pm

Nationally, this was big. It could flame out, but this was a statement

SoBlueitHurts

12:50pm

He likely is. Pope was on the hot seat before this year

BYU '80

12:50pm

That’s because he is.

Alan Schaefer

12:51pm

Young was the only LDS guy on the planet that would be an upgrade over Pope

tacallaway

Danny Ainge. But I think this all but puts that dream to rest. Danny would be

Alan Schaefer

He’s correct

DavisCoCoug

I believe he liked the hire 😉

AF_Puma

Have things come out about how Pope at BYU was not rosey & good?

TBD, but the bar is low

I'd pay $100 max for Copper Rock. Way overrated.

dahurt45

12:57pm

It’s a fun course. Just don’t miss the fairway. There is no rough, only lava.

Are green fees $300?

Yes. Plus a caddy tip on top.

Bingo. Just win a single tournament game and we will love you.

I mean, we won't. We could lose to the Dream Team and CB would be mad the game wasn't coached well enough and how we

An NBA coach who wants to be at BYU. I'll take that over

Hawk Talons

Pope had no ties to byu either. Youngs wife is a byu grad

byuTX

None of those schools are paying buyouts to the MW to join WSU or OSU.

jackcrack7

12:43pm

They really should include USU. It would make them better.

TailgateU

12:44pm

Just an opinion but USU would be a great add there.

I'd rather USU be in the 8th best conference than the 5th best conference

Wait for the ACC to blow up

Yeah they'd have a shot at getting Stanford and Cal after the ACC blows up

CameronG

12:55pm

Didn't the MWC sign a deal with them that they have to take all of them?

CameronG

12:46pm

I think they can pick and choose, but have to pay hefty penalties if they don't

12:49pm

You're right, they'd have to pay $67.5M for 6 schools and that's before school

They’ll join the MWC once they’ve spent all the Pac12 money they can. So ~2026. (Unless they get an unlikely P4 invite)

This is their bargaining phase. I almost feel bad for the former pac-12.

Mike Bolton

This is what will happen. The Pac 12 will still exist, the MWC will not

So many sour grapes.

We can't afford to lose good players, but if someone is not with us, so be it.
