He might. But could end up coming back to BYU or heading to Kentucky. 💰💰💰

jpal1397

10:27am

While there is some of that, the other factor is that people change their minds, and situations change.

cougfanblue

This^^^ To me the bigger problem is people not taking info for what it's worth & treating it like an absolute.

Do you mean their 3rd ranked offense (in conference games) worked our 11th

No, just saying their team efficiency rating was much worse than ours, so maybe

If an entire team had Isaac’s efficiency, they’d be ranked around 300th

Correct. Have to withdraw from the draft to retain eligibility.
