Statistically, I think we really should be a basketball school

On the other hand, the world's best basketball players are outside

Not really. BYU's recruiting strengths (ie body types) are in football not hoops

TNT

May 2, 3:47pm

Nope. The best football players in the world(per capita) are Polynesian. That's

And when they are elite they don't often come here, Jabari Parker, Frank Jackson

A good point for sure.

If you took the top 7-8 lds basketball players and put them on one team

I don't see it. BYUnhas most of the best LDS kids. A couple misses but no one

Tell me this team doesn't make it to the second weekend...

MaxxPower

I mean....maybe? I still think it's roughly what BYU had this season

We did not have Tolu Smith. A presence like that would be huge for us

Sprinkle in a couple others that come to us like Jax. Nice team

You need future NBA players to be a basketball school.

JuicyJam

May 2, 3:50pm

Yes, but I just can't bring myself to love basketball like I do football

SoBlueitHurts

May 2, 3:50pm

We get a Jimmer or Ainge once every 30 years. So that's cool.

We were one genius of a HC away — from NEVER being a Football school.

More rare than both Ainge and Jimmer

Great minds! I guess there's no new idea under the sun! 😉

I wonder what it looked like during the middle of their 3 awful seasons

SoBlueitHurts

May 2, 5:33pm

If Gonzaga can do it BYU should be able to.

May 2, 4:35pm

If Boise State can do it...

May 2, 5:25pm

Funny you say that because BYU did it in football first. IT is possible for sure

SoBlueitHurts

Football is a much better investment for schools

Plus there are a ton of churches around here and most churches have hoops

boctabulous

Put differently, both are team sports and one has a way smaller team.

Heath Squashwell

May 2, 5:04pm

And along with that, 1 player can effect a bball game more than 1 player can

*except QB

mulletino

May 2, 5:12pm

Even then if the oline and receivers and running backs suck then the qb

boctabulous

May 2, 5:15pm

True but BYU is usually good enough in all other areas that an elite QB makes them an excellent team.

May 2, 5:32pm

You haven’t had an excellent football team since Lavell 1996. You’re not a

Sure thing, Ute. We know, wiping the floor with the PAC-12 in 2021 wasn't impressive.

This is what a football school looks like.

lol in a decade. lol. ok. Congrats again on your earth shattering 4-5 loss seasons.

mulletino

Cam Rising has never won a P4 game and your amazing seasons that make you a "football school" include 4-5 losses.

That's a lie!
