Before Pope was hired, everyone loved him. He had the NBA and NCAA blueblood pedigree. Smart, enthusiastic, hard worker. Beat BYU with lesser talent. We want that guy!

Now it's Madsen. Same descriptors as Pope.

Don’t think either of those teams were bubble teams

2 seeds in the NIT, next 4 out is the bubble

Don’t think that is how it works

Fair point, forgot about the couple schools that turned them down

I would take him at BYU in a heartbeat

Every one of those things is also on Pope’s resume.

The current UVU team is better than anything Pope had

Our defense right now would give UVU a LOT of problems.

He's working with a heavily veteran team vs a rebuilt squad, try to keep in mind

You should be Popes PR front man. The excuses overflow

While we're on a roll, then: The Portal has improved most of the WCC & UVU too

Like I said you’d be a good PR man for pope. It’s a bottom line business

Oh dang...those are worse restrictions than the honor code. Meanwhile...

Pope is in charge of recruiting and he’s not getting guys

BYU '80

He's not getting guys??

Equating UVU/WAC recruiting “restrictions” w/Honor Code “restrictions” is crazy

RossoNeri

3/20/23 6:16am

Is it? The wac is a horrible league with no fan support or money. If the hc is

You are a ray of sunshine. No coach would ever satisfy your expectations

RossoNeri

If he didn't bring in 1 year guys every year he wouldn't have to rebuild yearly.

So, you're okay w getting absolutely slaughtered for a year or two, then?

Or recruit better young players. Many programs win with some young and some

BYU '80

Easier said than done. He'd of course have to recruit beyond BYU's natural

Michael Lloyd, Tavernari were a nice Gorman/Brazilian thing happening.

calvindyer

3/22/23 12:31pm

Yeah, Lloyd is probably a non-LDS guy Pope woulda targeted.

Yeah in Vegas there are 4 teams that matter
