Kansas coach Leipold "BYU players are Old"... you know whats getting old? saying BYU players are old..

Kansas coach Lance Leipold was just asked about his first impressions of BYU in his Monday news conference and the first thing he mentioned was the ages of the Cougars players. Said the average age is 22 (which is not accurate).

I thought the average age is 21.7

Sep 18, 11:21am

It is. I don’t see what’s wrong with saying it’s 22.

Average starter age or age of all players?

Decent drop from 2018 (22.5). And surprising, given the C19 years still in play.

Why is it necessarily an excuse for someone to mention this point?

Tricky

Sep 18, 11:42am

Because it's only said to explain a reason why they are good.

Do you honestly think non-LDS kids want to take a break away from the game?
