Meh, I don't really buy this...it's more likely that the athletic dads left the

church long before their descendants were old enough to become basketball recruits. There's not a ward I've lived in the past 15 years that had anything close to a real athlete in it. I've visited some less actives that seemed to live at the gym though...

Who are the three best LDS college basketball players in the country right now?

It’s not Pope’s fault that Colin Chandler is on his mission.

He's not a current player. Who are the three best on the court today?

shoganai

12/8/22 7:24am

I don’t know. Saunders, Hall, and Chandler were the best in-state guys

Carlson, Ashworth, Kohler

Although Kohler doesn't deserve to be there yet probably. Probably should be Spencer Johnson or Tanner

With all our church basketball courts there should be more good LDS players

You mean the church courts they keep under lock and key unless someone you know

This is true. Unless there were open court hours it doesn’t really do much good.

Decades ago I was brought into the Church thru the old LDS youth bball league.

If they’d let kids play on them these days maybe they’d be good

Carlson and Ashworth are the two best

Btw - look at the trainwreck that is BYU 2017 and 2018 recruiting classes

Hunter Erickson has a scholarship from Utah.

Ashworth would have traded his left nut to come to BYU and they wouldn’t give

Did Pope recruit him when he was at UVU?

JoeExotic

12/8/22 7:53am

Not sure. He told me about his lack of recruitment from BYU over a game of pool.

BYU-Ite

12/8/22 1:30pm

he's really blossomed

icecougar

True. I know them well. Awesome family.

It's true. We were in the same mission. Dude is a baller, I was always a little

Carlson didn’t want to wait behind Childs again. He did that in highschool and that’s why he went to Utah.

Yoeli was a year older and not going on mission

JoeExotic

Blue2thebone

I worry Pope has sacrificed long term development and program build for short

12/8/22 10:34am

Don't give up hope yet...

BackPacker

12/8/22 12:57pm

you mean long term development guys like AAA, Stewart and GG?

icecougar

12/8/22 3:12pm

even if the best LDS players aren't here that's often the case for BYU...

Woodbury is a very prominent LDS name in the west.

McCombs mentioned Tolu Smith on twitter today. That's one I always forget about. He's probably #1.
