old guard tandem, yes. Able to match up with the Zag’s guards, no.

...AB and Lucas will be maybe the 2nd best guard tandem in the WCC but the Zag’s have a very deep backcourt with seniors Nembhard and Bolton (Gr transfer from Iowa St) and incoming freshman Nolan Hickman (switched his commitment from Kentucky to Gonzaga) and 5 star top 25 player Hunter Sallis. Not sure if Sallis is a one and done but he’s close.

AS for Baxter being the guy who puts us in the Natty discussion? Love him and hope he has a great year but...

People are seriously underestimating this team

Yeah they aren’t matching up with Gonzaga I’m sorry but that’s probably the most

If Haarms had returned we MIGHT have had a shot knocking off the Zags in Provo

You are overestimating Haarms. Pope will find an experienced big to replace him

He most surely will not be replaced in some ways.

Haarms was soft and had a 2 inch vertical.

He wasn't explosive, but for a 7'3 guy he was freakishly quick & limber.

Assuming Baxter at 100% after a major surgery is optimistic. Have you forgotten

What has Baxter even done in the two minutes that he WAS healthy?

Agree. I’ve never understood the obsession CB has with Baxter. At best he could

He’s a four star stretch 4 that BYU rarely gets. People just want to see that

you need to be a threat from 3 to be a "stretch" 4...

I'm totally with you. Just seemed like a random shot in the dark with "people".
