Seems like a good pickup. We are going to struggle shooting the ball unless these guys all start shooting a bit better. Also, we still don’t have anyone on the team taller than 6 ft 9 (unless they are some scrub holdover from last year I’m not aware of).

That being said, I’d rather have a strong, athletic team that can bully teams on defense.…[Read more]

What makes you think he’s a true Point Guard? He averaged 1 assist and 1 turnover per game. I’m not dogging him as a player. Glad to have him, but he is NOT a true point guard. Further, Mike Sharavjamts was much more of a true point guard than this guy. Sharavjamts averaged double the assists and the same amount of turnovers in 7 minutes less per…[Read more]

I sure thought it was pretty damn funny. Feel free to downvote anyway.

One guy that won’t touch the ball is just as good as another that won’t touch the ball. Amiright?

I see no reason to believe this experience will humble him. I have yet to see any member of his family do or say anything that indicates an ability to be humble.

Phil Mecrevis probably wishes he could find someone to fill his crevice.

The NCAA had every opportunity to fix things before all of this happened. Case after case after case in court slowly leading to this mess, and they did NOTHING. If the NCAA hadn’t been so damn greedy we wouldn’t be in this position.

That type of thing is what made us great before we went to the Pac12, and that is the type of thing that will keep us competitive in the NIL era. Sign guys with athletic ability and room to grow in physique and talent, then coach them up. It’s more risky because they could leave for a bag of cash at a moment’s notice, but it is still a winning…[Read more]

I don’t think NIL is going away, and I think the transfer portal, in some form, is here to stay. Professional leagues have already tried to challenge the idea of free agency in court, and we all know how that went. If the NCAA or some team ever tries to get rid of transferring, the players just have to point at the precedent set by the pro league…[Read more]

great pickup. Now we are in desperate need of shooting.

right, which I essentially said in my post. It isn’t the player I’m angry at for taking money. It is these uber wealthy people that could do so much good with their money that instead choose to spend it on stuff like this.

what the heck? A million for being a below average college basketball player? If that is true it honestly makes me angry. Not because he’s getting paid, but because there are people in this world that would rather throw millions of dollars at their favorite basketball team to pay their players rather than using that money for good. There is a lot…[Read more]

Wherever Jay Hill is coaching the ST advantage should go to his team. I know he isn’t the ST coach at BYU, but he’s just so dang good in that regard I can’t overlook the fact that he’s at BYU. For that reason alone I’d give the ST advantage to TSPP

lol… that was biased wishful thinking/tongue in cheek joking on my part. I am Mongolian in every way other than genetics so my opinion on all things Mongolia can’t really be trusted.

Also, he is a great passer, and he would have been a solid piece on a good team.

Am I wrong? I have yet to see any justification other than bluster for why I’m wrong. I don’t know why I’m getting downvoted other than people just not liking to face reality. So far we have one guy who scored 20-ish a game playing for a tiny school, a guy who started half his games at mighty SLCC, a guy who was in and out of the rotation for us…[Read more]

Seems like a decent player with some room to grow. We now have 4 guys. Dawes, Okonkwo, Jackson, and Brown. Seems like a decent MWC team so far. We better get a headliner or we are really going to struggle next year. That is, unless one of these guys suddenly blossoms into a star.

that’s great to hear. The intent of my post was not to poo-poo him or our current efforts. I just mentioned that what I have read (mostly here) is that recruiting isn’t going so well at the moment. Obviously there is lots of time still, and I hope we can take advantage of the momentum we got from Jensen’s hire and the additional $ for…[Read more]

I think that kind of attitude is bullshit tbh. Why treat the players like that? Mike has valuable skills that could have helped us win games this year. It is pretty clear at this point that we sucked because of the coach and the complete lack of program support from fans and boosters.

I agree with the rest of your post, but I don’t fault these…[Read more]

When rotations are as inconsistent as they were under Smith, it is really hard to develop confidence in your abilities. If you know you are going to get certain minutes whether you make shots or not, you feel more comfortable shooting.
