Some storylines for our long distance runners today at Stanford.

CrimWalCoug All-American in practice

7:36am

I’ve recently discovered that how I eat my meals and snacks may be even more

Jfly1975

7:36am

I have nothing to say about Pope today. So there is that!

Syre

7:34am

Looks like KY was in Provo last night

CougarCanuck76

7:33am

Jaden Rashada just wants to be "the version of himself" and values loyalty

runnincoug

7:32am

Not that different from young tech people moving every time they get a better

vagabonder

7:36am

A dedication haiku to getting older

RSL 429 Too Many Requests

7:31am

The Hillstead transfer has me a bit worried, but for different reasons.

The Y's Insider

7:31am

He's an experienced QB who started several games for USU and has three years

LV Mike

7:32am

Because we literally have 10 qbs on the roster.

The Y's Insider

7:35am

I was just hoping we finally graduated from G5 players in the B12

CougarCanuck76

7:37am

How we missed on Hammond when we have a QB room like we do is just nuts

A Drew Aitch

7:35am

We’ve got room for more

CougarCanuck76

7:36am

I think it was 13th string

LifeLongLakerFan

When does spring ball start?

conetah

7:30am

RE: When does spring ball start?

Skeptical Optimist

7:32am

Townshead at SLC…

Longseason

7:28am

Townsend Tripple?

Kevin Arnold

7:30am

Do we actually have a shot at Hugo Gonzalez?

Mostlyaccurate

7:24am

Isn't he friends with Koz?

LV Mike

7:28am

That's news to me. I didn't think BYU had any connections

Mostlyaccurate

7:30am

That does seem to be what a few insiders/subscribers were hinting at a

fbguru

7:28am

Thanks for mentioning his name. Now he’s going to be recruited by others.

Forbidden Fruit

7:30am

He's the #3 ranked SG in the 2025 NBA draft.

Mostlyaccurate

7:32am

Yeah I guess in that case he would be.

Forbidden Fruit

7:36am

Essays, essays, essays

Magneto

7:23am

Hey must have really bombed the rest of the application

txblue

7:26am

And recommendations. I think they matter

SaturdaySpecialDay

7:31am

He got rejected by MIT too, as well as apparently every other elite university

vagabonder

7:33am

So KSL wants me to be outraged yet they completely omit his GPA from the article

Peter Venkman

7:35am

Chandler declaration and speed of transfer in hindsight was premature. Kid is

MajorZeus

7:22am

His family probably pushed it. They are big Utah fans.

Dangerous

7:23am

I would guess Pope pushed it.

porl thompson

7:27am

Seems like he went for Pope not for Kentucky, so maybe not that hasty.

Plato

7:28am

UK fan message boards: we’re better off without guy who belongs on newsies cast

Cooouuugs

7:20am

now that he's back give him the respect of spelling his name right. Richie no t

cwilke1

7:21am

Payton answers all CB questions about Zach, if he’ll be QB1,2,3 detail on Nix

SwanSong

7:20am

What a great day yesterday. We have Denver taking a commanding lead

Avery

7:18am

KU has loaded up with high quality transfers. Here’s another one.

TempeCoug

7:17am

They will be more than five deep this year.

Indy Coug

7:21am

Bill Self knows the weakness that was March 2024

MajorZeus

7:23am

Big deal. We beat them in Lawrence. We're better until proven otherwise.

creameryon9th

7:27am

We need more assistant and player announcements to get CB away from Pope talk

Hoopster

7:10am

"I plan to just ignore Pope/UK"... but then posts about him

SJS

7:15am

Why are you still talking about our last coach?

A Drew Aitch

7:15am

What in BYU’s history woul make you “trust that eventually things will work

Jay Rick

7:16am

I would like to announce an assistant

Cougrrrs Roll

7:20am

We need more posts about how we shouldn't complain about "Pope a Dope"

LV Mike

7:31am

So, as of right now, our depth chart looks like this?

LeonMarek

7:10am

We need Hall or transfer portal as the PG.

fbguru

7:15am

That’s not bad. And should get better.

Trent

7:16am

In this highly unlikely scenario, Baker would play PG and Knell SG

runnincoug

7:25am

Your bench players are all good enough to start

Cougrrrs Roll

7:26am

The BYU "networking" advantage - is it really better than other mid to top-tier

flyonawall

7:09am

Hyperbole imo

conetah

7:14am

I got into my current grad school because my professor reached out to his

Mostlyaccurate

7:17am

If you plan on living in Utah County or SLC it’s pretty good beyond that it’s

A Drew Aitch

7:18am

The Ivy League networks and Jewish networks are the real deal. BYU and the

shoganai

7:18am

The network is definitely stronger than most in my opinion and observation.

Trent

7:21am

It might be better for athletes than the average student

Hang10

7:23am

At every school this is true

A Drew Aitch

7:27am

BYU makes top 6 for this guy. What do we know abt him?

Soupie Grandma Sycamore

7:03am

He apparently plays basketball in Hell?

BoiseBlue

7:04am

Which makes sense why he’s down to 6 instead of the standard 5

Powerbait DPM

7:18am

Another Utah transfer? Nice.

Hambone

7:20am

Looks like a deacon in my ward

SJS

7:04am

He’s a point guard in a 6-8 body. Can shoot and drive and is smooth.

Forbidden Fruit

7:07am

He's good. (highlights below) Pope reached out to him before going to UK.

Mostlyaccurate

7:08am

He's got some of that Jaxson Robinson type skillset. I remember a couple national media types saying

mokelembembe

7:09am

A versatile, skilled 6’8 guard/wing who can provide mins at 1-3

mjmill

7:16am

Sounds like he could fill a Jax type roll.

Soupie

7:18am

He played well against BYU 2 years ago while he was at Dayton. He's an excellent combo guard option. What BYU needs most

roseyscenario

7:16am

Love his length and versatility

Forbidden Fruit

7:32am

I think he wants to play PG, so I doubt we get him.

SinkingQuffa

7:23am

Let's celebrate the right guys.

Lifer

7:00am

The not prodigal sons are underrated

Longseason

7:05am

“But I was the good son!”

FatThor

7:06am

Let’s celebrate the guys who came back! I’m killing the fatted calf

A Drew Aitch

7:15am

The prodigal son wants a word

MajorZeus

7:28am

Number of posts bashing Pope << Number of posts preaching to everybody to stop

shoganai

6:57am

Is that really what you're seeing here over the last week? You sure you know how "><" logic works?

SinkingQuffa

7:00am

Yeah Lane Kiffin needed security to get out of Tennessee and they burned stuff

califcougar

7:04am

A major portion of Tennessee's loudest fans are proud hillbillies that live within 100 miles of the school

SinkingQuffa

7:12am

BYU isn’t comparing itself to that situation.

bluesloth

7:15am

But one fan is trying to here, ain't he?

SinkingQuffa

7:16am

He’s contrasting our fans with theirs. How is that a problem? Shouldn’t we want

bluesloth

7:21am

Because he's being apologetic of the nasty element of CB right now

SinkingQuffa

7:28am

That's the whole point.

shoganai

7:15am

I'm seeing a clear comparison. We're supposed to be proud of ourselves cuz we're clearly better

SinkingQuffa

7:18am

You are free to disagree and not feel proud of BYU fans.

shoganai

7:20am

I do realize that the Pope-hating element on the board here is not fairly representative of our fanbase.

SinkingQuffa

7:25am

I really don't see what the point of continuing this thread is.

shoganai

7:30am

Yes, you are a rascal. Making a black-n-white, non-substantive statement that grants you the high ground

SinkingQuffa

7:35am

POLL: Where on the depth chart will Zach Wilson open the season

krindorr Playmaker

6:56am

Whatever position he earns in camp.

Corn Pop

7:11am

Draft attendance of 275k in Detroit. Last year 312k in KC, next

SwanSong

6:54am

But Detroit has a domed stadium…

specsauce

7:13am

I went to the KC draft. It was awesome. Good time. Set up was great.

karatekid

7:37am

Guys, chill about Pope. Remember he also chose not to PLAY basketball at BYU.

notaboy

6:54am

Is Uconn the only non power school to win in bball?

bald man

7:00am

UCONN is in the BigEast…. They are a power school.

NorCal_Coug

7:13am

nope. bigEast is not a power conference.

bald man

7:16am

In basketball? They most certainly are…. 😂

NorCal_Coug

7:16am

They don’t have football in the big East. They are a power basketball conf

A Drew Aitch

7:22am

Why does power football conference matter for basketball?

NorCal_Coug

7:25am

Because power conferences are a football term. Basketball uses different terms

A Drew Aitch

7:32am

#2 strongest conference in the nation per kenpom.

roseyscenario

7:20am

Disappointing millions since the 90s. Should have known 90s r hot right now. 😉

Trent

7:01am

Saban admits to tampering on the air?

Phred84044

6:46am

He can spin it if questioned

krindorr

6:50am

Why would he care to spin it?

shoganai

6:52am

Every other coach in college football (including at BYU):

shoganai

6:52am

Saban and Harbaugh to NCAA compliance investigations:

vagabonder

6:53am

If you are going to parse words, he does not admit to tampering there. He just says that was the guy they were targeting

They also did the same to Dalton Kincaid at Utah

Unplanned Double Header today due to weather. Travel back to Miami Tues/Wed?

POLL: Zach Wilson is a better NFL Qb than Bo Nix

Squirt

6:39am

Yes so far. Nix hasn't played one down in NFL.

sfeuz

6:40am

Wilson has been bad in his time, but Nix is not an NFL QB. I watched him at

Diablo and Doc

NIL - how do contributions get accounted for? Benefits?

mobicurious

6:33am

It would not be a donation to the university but to the collective.

cougarfann888

6:37am

The collective is a nonprofit for now. The IRS might clamp down on this.

ryebrye

A closer look at McCae Hillstead

mjmill All-American

6:30am

so, why do we have 11 qbs? that is a huge number.

bald man

6:53am

This screams lack of confidence in Retzlaff and Bohannon. ARod appears to

WillsPitStop

6:59am

Or a lack of confidence in the younger QBs

Littlerich

7:02am

Unlikely. I think this pickup is for 2025 and beyond

donnerstag

Not necessarily. It definitely means that Arod wants to have as many quality

The essay, which gives a glimpse into the applicant’s real self, is critical

WallaX2

There’s often nothing “real” about any of it.

Biggest factor in Richie making his decision to come back-not even talked about

Really disappointed in Pope - not only the lame belated BYU "thank you," where

I’m hearing that KY is taking a bunch of the players to game 3 tomorrow.

Pope trying to steal Saunders. How it started, how it's going.

Ooooooh baby
