be a defensive impact player. At worst he’s an offensive liability. He can dunk. Not much else.

People are seriously underestimating this team

clocker

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

SinkingQuffa

6/17/21 7:10am

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

Coooooogs

6/17/21 10:40am

He most surely will not be replaced in some ways.

SinkingQuffa

6/17/21 10:56am

Haarms was soft and had a 2 inch vertical.

beantownblue

6/17/21 11:05am

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

SinkingQuffa

6/17/21 11:24am

His touch was terrible, he was terrible on offense. I don’t know if I’ve ever

Worthington comes to my mind

OldFogey

true forget about him

youngcoug20

6/17/21 12:09pm

He had 11+ points per game and shot almost 55% from the field.

Zastava

6/17/21 12:16pm

And he made FTs.

Haarms had an inconsistent motor but when he was aggressively contesting shots..

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

Most BYU fans think they will do fine in conference and finish second and make

Bro, it’s June. Let’s save the natty talk til early December.

By December it will be obvious that we aren't NC material so he'd better get it

As an aside I was on campus last week and watched Lohner work out, he is a

That was me, bro. Not Lohner. I get that all the time. 🙂

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

Colorado

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

ChiefBeef

6/17/21 6:34am

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

Soy Celeste

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

Underwear Olympics?

coastcat

And that was written six years ago. Proof that hope springs eternal.

Soy Celeste

6/17/21 7:26am

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

My thoughts

I’ll have what he’s having.

Natty certainly not but Pope will once again piece together a very competitive

A plethora!

I must be one. As we sit now I think finishing at least 3rd in the WCC won't be

SinkingQuffa

6/17/21 7:22am

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

OldFogey

6/17/21 10:53am

Just look at the number of replies by doubters, guy

I get it. I see all the replies, but was saying that I hadn't seen previously

I think this team could be dangerous. How dangerous will depend on...

Zastava

6/17/21 8:33am

I think Harward can condition himself into a bigger contributor.

SinkingQuffa

6/17/21 8:47am

Agreed. I like Harward. He can be a force when he’s playing aggressively.

Zastava

6/17/21 9:14am

Honest Question: What happened to Harward this past season?

lbmango

6/17/21 3:55pm

Teams schemed him. Can't roll left. Body him up early. Run on him.

SinkingQuffa

6/17/21 4:03pm

Can't roll left? Sounds like Zoolander. He's not an "ambi-turner".

OldFogey

6/17/21 4:10pm

He faked to his left good enough — but unfortunately is was all fake.

SinkingQuffa

6/17/21 4:18pm

Excellent analysis, this squad is strong and deep.

clocker

6/17/21 11:38am

Way too much is expected from Baxter at this point.

I trust Pope & company will put together a competitive team

BYU Fan

6/17/21 9:23am

We’ll definitely miss Haarms. We have nobody to replace him, but...

Zastava

6/17/21 10:31am

I do too and it's based on equal parts trust and hope...

icecougar

Are you hearing rumblings about Lowell possibly returning?

Zastava

6/17/21 3:36pm

Barcello is a master at blending. He plays according to the needs of the team.

Zag posters believe that BYU will be dancing, not the Gaels.

Were for sure better than the mighty gaels. I think we are in the tournament

Dat_rmishner

At this point aren't people just estimating?
