Some guys aren't the man until they are

I mean AB averaged only 9 points his first year here (junior year). Then he became the man and was more than capable. It will be a rebuilding year. I think we have a confidence issue with some guys right now which seems like it is in part because they defer to AB or Lucas.

It appears that it will be needed!

And Toolson & Saunders coming off missions. Bigger and hopefully better shooters

And Hall, correct? Again a bunch of fairly short guards aside from Saunders.

Saunders and Toolson are 6-5. That’s why i didn’t list Hall.

I hear Toolson has been growing on his mission

Shouldn't surprise. He grew a LOT his final season.

I bet George will be back for his covid year

I hope he is. We can use his size and athleticism. I kind of thought the same thing but was

The problem is those guys stillcount against the 13. So you keep any of them, it gets harder to address your other

I thought 5th season players didn’t count against the 13.

Only for this year. I think that's why they chose to list everybody as if they don't have that extra year because the

If Gideon George wants to come back for another year, I think Pope will make

You have to get rid of at least a couple of the smaller guards. I don't know who as I haven't seen them all play

Knell seems like a guy who needs to have a serious convo about improvement or

While a TeJ-level (or better) PG from the Portal would be nice,

My issue is probably as much with 5 guys who seem to all be the same player within 2 classes. We have to weed some of

kimdaddy35

1/28/22 5:11pm

Which 5 guys?

Remigius

1/28/22 5:19pm

I’m assuming he included Erickson and Brown

GlutealGuy

1/28/22 5:22pm

And we keep bringing in transfer portal guards to play over them so they don’t

GlutealGuy

1/28/22 5:21pm

There's a rub to that, though. A young PG can learn a TON

SinkingQuffa

1/28/22 5:53pm

I still think they would learn more getting a chunk of game time. The elite

Ashworth's a tough comparison, though. I SURE hope

SinkingQuffa

1/28/22 6:01pm

I don't follow USU that closely to know if he is an upgrade over our other

cwilke1

1/28/22 6:10pm

I know he's good enough for what we'd want at PG next season.

SinkingQuffa

1/28/22 6:13pm

In 2 years I could see someone making a USU to BYU switch for the opportunity

cwilke1

1/28/22 6:22pm

Meh. Maybe. BYU's still the clearly bigger program

SinkingQuffa

1/28/22 6:30pm

he's proven he's good enough to lead us to a .500 record in the WCC? I know if

cwilke1

1/28/22 6:25pm

If he could land a better scoring PG, for sure.

SinkingQuffa

1/28/22 6:33pm

Games can’t be replicated, look at how much fous and AAA have improved

GlutealGuy

1/28/22 6:06pm

No doubt. But there'll be a TON of pressure put on our PG(s)

SinkingQuffa

1/28/22 6:20pm

Which is why I would prefer to go the portal and that’s what pope will try

GlutealGuy

1/28/22 6:25pm

Maybe. I think they were in a great spot to learn

SinkingQuffa

1/28/22 6:35pm

Byu is going to need to get a couple of 6'9 or taller and some bigger guards or

Pope will just reload with another 5 transfers

archie

1/28/22 9:25pm

Spencer, Knell and Lohner in the starting lineup would be a disaster...

icecougar

1/29/22 5:18am

Definitely a conundrum for Pope and staff...
