I Guess we also lost Seneca knight as well but I’d take Jaxon Robinson over him.

We have some solid freshman as well, can’t imagine anyone leaves before Big12

BYU is 7th in the WCC. They were predicted to finish 3rd.

Mr. Scoobs

But don't forget the expectations of success when 1st joining the WCC.

Going into the B12 I wish I could take heart in bball or FB. Rutgers, Nebraska,

Zags took a half step back yes. But a few other teams have taken a full step forward as well. This is far and away the

USF was a tourney team last year— they are sub 100 this year.

Mr. Scoobs

1/29/23 9:25am

And they also crushed ASU on the road by 40, and beat UNLV at the T/M.

They’ve had some good games but to say they are better than last year is false

Mr. Scoobs

The key to a season like this is keeping everyone around. If we have a mass exodus like last year, it will be pointless.

Also, for perspective, if you change just two plays we beat Gonzaga and SMC and

Also by being so close in these two games how do we underperform so badly

Bingo. Seeing us hang with Gonzaga and SMC and then lose some unexplainable

Gonzaga is down this year. SMC is doing well in computer rankings,

Inconsistency is a Hallmark of young teams and teams without

Except Pope has shown an ability to coach consistent teams. You are stretching.

This has been the case since Day 1 of the WCC.

And SDSU.

People aren’t saying pope should be replaced based on losses to smc

Last year, he lost two bigs to injuries. This year IS a rebuilding year. The sky

I don’t think byu should ever, ever finish below 3rd in the WCC.

ballen

1/29/23 8:39am

Not out of the question for this team to still finish in 3rd

CPAcoug87

1/29/23 8:45am

I'd say less than 5% chance to finish 3rd. If BYU goes 7-0 to end the season

cwilke1

1/29/23 11:22am

Really, 4th is as good as 3rd.

CPAcoug87

1/29/23 1:09pm

good point, because this year there is no need to avoid the 1 seed and hope for

Yeah, it only helps them if they win the games 😂

BYU was predicted to finished 3rd. All this “we knew they wouldn’t be good” is

Mr. Scoobs

Then you don't know basketball. LMU, Santa Clara and USF are all decent squads.

kiyoshige

1/29/23 10:56am

With our facilities, fan following, budgets, etc we should outperform those

Here is the basketball recruiting order in California

Absolutely. Hoping heartbreakers this year turn into clutch wins in future years

CPAcoug87

1/29/23 8:39am

analytically they've regressed in pretty much every area each of the last 4 years. It's a hard trend to ignore.

So only four rebuilding years in a row

Stats class was different at the Y 43 years ago.

We’ve simultaneously over performed and underperformed.

stenso

1/29/23 9:21am

The hallmark of young teams adding new older players.

CMAC38

1/29/23 11:28am

So with scouring the portal every year, is every year a rebuilding year?

zerome4sooners

1/29/23 9:34am

Yes but some of the Ls are still head scratchers, South Dakota, Santa Clara, UVU

These two losses are heartbreaking

It’s a moving of the goal posts. It’s another rebuilding year because of Pope’s

The overhauls are due to lack of quality young players and recruits in

jlangager

The other recruits are transfer players filling holes

JoeExotic

1/29/23 9:25pm

How do you rebuild when many of your starters are 1 year portal players. Pope

Jasbo

Wasn't Pope's fault we never got to see Baxter healthy for even 1 season.
