planning on Wahlen being a PG when he recruited him.

Even if a grew a couple inches, there are guys out there that can be a PG at 6'9".

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.

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.

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.

Lance71

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

Goatnapper'96

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

Was Johnson recognized at Senior Night this past year?

Goatnapper'96

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.
