Spencer is a really versatile guard/wing off the bench, but his minutes will be decreased with the development of Saunders, Toolson.

and we really need Hall to be able come in ready to go

Hall is the best high school point guard prospect BYU signed since Jimmer

I agree the potential is there. With this roster we have to have it happen next

One problem is Fouss really isn't a 4 and lacks range. His game on both ends

Remember when he hit 5 threes in the scrimmage. Range is there.

The season will hinge on Popes’s ability to land at least one experienced Big.

Spencer's not strong enough to be a 3. He's too valuable as a defender

Spencer also is our only other experienced ball handler. Right now he is the

I bet you a Cougartail Knell starts over Johnson

mjmill

5/13/22 4:25pm

If I could take it off my own gut, I'm all over that bet.

Knell started 18 games last year, Johnson 0. Pope will go with Knell over Johnson

mjmill

5/13/22 4:28pm

One played at a position more thoroughly locked down by a Sr than any other.

SinkingQuffa

5/13/22 4:35pm

Knell started at the 3 spot though. Not the off guard. I do not think he has

BYUheaven

Pope was using a 3-guard lineup. Knell is not a 3. He's only 6'4". Gideon will take over the 3, Knell takes over the 2

mjmill

5/13/22 5:28pm

He's not a great defensive fit anywhere. But Pope thought his best fit was at SF

SinkingQuffa

5/13/22 5:53pm

He only played the 3 because Barcello played all of the time. Knell will start

gp232

5/14/22 12:02am

A defense-first guy like Pope will do no such thing. Knell was a 3 for a reason.

SinkingQuffa

5/14/22 12:07am

I will wait to see who the last two scholarships are. Also if Pope trusts Hall

BYUheaven

With the right SG he might work as a 2PG. Has to work on his strength, though.

SinkingQuffa

5/13/22 9:45pm

Seems like we're splitting hairs. Expect both play 20+ minutes at SG & SF. Assumes Knell plays as he did 2 seasons ago.

That is what I would prefer, like Knell as spark off the bench.

Dr T-bone

5/13/22 4:37pm

I think you'll see Trey Stewart as the PG3 behind Williams and Hall...

icecougar

5/13/22 4:27pm

If Knell is our starting 2, we are in serious trouble. Johnson should start over

babycarrot

5/13/22 5:36pm

Yeah. Knell is a 3 point spscialist off the bench.

Forzaitalia

5/13/22 7:44pm

That’s why you need Johnson coming in as sixth man. He can spell the PG better

Big Daddy D

5/13/22 7:52pm

who is starting isn't as big of an issue as who is on the floor at crunch time..

icecougar

5/13/22 7:59pm

To be honest, I don’t really want Knell playing any significant minutes. He

I think his time next season will be tightly managed per matchups & performance
