SinkingQuffa Intervention Needed

That, & he came home w an injury (in his foot region, I believe) which didn't

allow him to condition in the Summer like Dallin & Richie. He may also have returned the latest of the 3 from his mission (it seems that was the case, but I don't remember for sure).

I agree we fans shouldn't read into his lack of playing time one iota. It may have absolutely nothing to do with his talent or potential.

Dalger from Tulsa makes no sense

Maybe it's time to remind everyone that BYU spams the living crap out of the transfer portal

Indy Coug

3/14/23 11:49am

True, but why spam players who make no sense for our roster?

mjmill

3/14/23 11:50am

Perhaps BYU contacts first, and then researches the player later.

cwilke1

3/14/23 11:55am

I suspect this is the case

Indy Coug

3/14/23 11:56am

LOL there's no way this is the case. I researched him in 2 mins. BYU is blind contacting? Insane

mjmill

3/14/23 11:59am

TBH, I don't expect coaches to be looking at stats when deciding to get serious with a player

Indy Coug

3/14/23 12:01pm

That's part of it of course. But production and efficiency, espcially when bringing in a 1 year rental, MUST be weighed

mjmill

3/14/23 12:06pm

He's a long, strong, very athletic wing. He's clearly got 3-4 versatility on D.

SinkingQuffa

3/15/23 4:31pm

Good point, could very well by option C for BYU

And a reminder that this strategy has not (and will not be) a winning formula.

3/14/23 2:50pm

35% from 3 would put him top 3 on our team

Remigius

3/14/23 11:59am

He shot .376 FG% while playing on a horrible team where there's no pressure to perform

mjmill

3/14/23 12:01pm

Or he has the focus of every defense and never got any space ever.

Players shooting percentages drop 10% in the BYU offense

BYU Fan

3/14/23 12:01pm

An open shot is an open shot, regardless of what system you run. BYU's offensive system isn't why

Indy Coug

3/14/23 12:03pm

Disagree. Confidence is huge for shooting, and that ties directly into factors

ldssdl

3/14/23 1:25pm

And yet, this same system had BYU lead the nation in 3pt% in 2020 and was 47th in 2021

Indy Coug

3/15/23 8:25am

True, which has also made me worry if Pope has not recruited good fits for his

ldssdl

3/15/23 10:00am

No on Dalger. But we do need one wing this offseason.

dwhitebud

3/14/23 12:02pm

I think you are forgetting Johnson

3/14/23 12:09pm

I'm not forgetting Johnson. View him as a combo guard.

dwhitebud

3/14/23 12:19pm

Toolson didn't play because he had a season ending injury.

Lance71

3/14/23 2:55pm

That, & he came home w an injury (in his foot region, I believe) which didn't

"we haven't seen many players at BYU "grow" into being in the rotation. And..."

icecougar

3/15/23 2:06am

Huh?

dwhitebud

3/15/23 7:21am

Puulease. The minutes, role & manifest TALENT of particularly AB & SJ

SinkingQuffa

3/15/23 7:36am

I'm not saying people's roles don't grow.

dwhitebud

3/15/23 10:28am

Till this point in Pope's career — which players on his rosters do you think

SinkingQuffa

3/15/23 10:45am

Why do you think I'm trying to attack Pope?

dwhitebud

3/15/23 11:51am

If you're not, I'm truly sorry. It just seems

SinkingQuffa

3/15/23 12:01pm

Not a Pope thing at all.

dwhitebud

3/15/23 12:05pm

Sorry. I seem to have picked up that conversation in progress

SinkingQuffa

3/15/23 12:10pm

I saw Wahlen play a couple of

Bullrider

3/14/23 3:20pm

It's been reported that he's grown a couple inches and gained 30ish lbs on his..

icecougar

3/15/23 1:17am

I know people have been saying this guarantee's he's not a PG. But Pope was

Lance71

3/15/23 3:45pm

Don't think of him as Kyle Collinsworth.

dwhitebud

3/15/23 4:25pm

I agree. Even Kyle shouldn't have brought the ball up.

SinkingQuffa

3/15/23 4:29pm

We are a below avg 3pt shooting team, we do need a 4, we may easily lose

Mitty

3/14/23 12:16pm

Was Johnson recognized at Senior Night this past year?

3/14/23 12:17pm

no

cwilke1

3/14/23 12:22pm

I have not seen any clue anywhere that SJ won't be back. I guess maybe if he

cwilke1

3/14/23 12:23pm

sounds like a seneca knight type?

lukeskywalker

3/14/23 12:46pm

That was my first thought, too.

provoprodigy

3/14/23 12:55pm

Seems to be less skilled — but lighter, & quite a bit longer & more athletic.

SinkingQuffa

3/14/23 12:56pm

We're a team built first to be defensively competent. He makes a lot of sense

SinkingQuffa

3/14/23 12:49pm

Maybe not all of the wings you mentioned are coming back

astroman

3/14/23 2:24pm

Do we know the Y is even after him?

rockyrd

3/14/23 3:12pm

You should write a strongly worded email to Pope letting him know how you feel.
