Has there been another player who rewrote their own narrative so thoroughly?

Most of us were kind of frustrated with TJ before his senior season. He was always being bagged on on cougarboard for being inconsistent.

He exploded his senior year and won us all over. This might be crazy talk, but I would take peak TJ over peak Tyler. He was so dang good his senior year. Stupid Covid.

Some of us saw it all along. But Tyler was great.

He was really good for 3 out of 4 years

And if we are being honest he would have been good 4 out of 4 years

I think you're the one rewriting history--most loved TJ long before his senior

I will try to find receipts. I could be wrong but I don’t remember this being

He was very impressive as a Jr as well. Even better than his Sr yr, stat wise

Noah Hartsock is one that comes to mind.

Another thing I don't recall. Loved Hartsock.

People didn't like Hartsock?

He was the whipping boy earlier in his BYU career. The guy CB loved to hate

Are you sure about this?

Zoobieman

Positive. He vastly improved as a player

bluelands

1/20/22 3:34pm

As a Sophomore he was the highest FG% shooter on the team

Zoobieman

I don't recall this. . . I remember James Anderson though during the same time.

CB is well known for exaggerating/fabricating shortcomings of players

Some CBers have such bad bball takes that a few days ago some was trying to

If some on CB were to have their way...we would finish the season with 4 players

I loved TJ, but I would take Tyler all day long over him.

kimdaddy35

1/20/22 2:45pm

That is what I’m saying. Even with Tyler being the all-time leading

1/20/22 2:48pm

Tyler didn't "take over" as you said because he always had to "take over" for that

kimdaddy35

1/20/22 3:01pm

Fair points. Good old recency bias for the win haha.

1/20/22 3:17pm

Yeah, Tyler was the better of the 2 but I’d take either one any year

Bluforever

1/20/22 5:29pm

Of course, I wasn't trying to disparage TJ. Great BYU player.

kimdaddy35

1/20/22 5:30pm

You’re good. I was agreeing with you; but written poorly.

I have a close connection and see him every so often. I love JT.

1/20/22 3:16pm

JT is a great, but I do remember comments "Pass to Jimmer".

Zoobieman

1/20/22 3:29pm

Brock Zylstra and Logan Magnusson had the worst fg% in 09/10

YSMACK

1/20/22 3:42pm

Weak argument - Zylstra/Magnusson avg 1.3 shots per game combined.

Zoobieman

1/20/22 4:26pm

P.S. He was a sophomore scoring 30 against Louisville, he was a backup Sr Year

Zoobieman

1/20/22 3:33pm

Senior TJ was excellent. He solved his propensity for TOs that plagued him in

Forzaitalia

1/20/22 3:35pm

His numbers were better his junior year. It was his sophomore year that was rough
