  1. Inside the NBA has the porta potty for Shaq lol
  2. I do and will miss developing guys in your own system and then watching them become what you hoped, but now that BYU is actually a major player in the new system I'm having way more fun than ever being in the mix. We actually benefit from paying players being out in the open now, rather than the under the table stuff of yesteryear, as we have money and are willing to spend it when it's all above board. Also, Kevin Young arrived from the NBA with no college coaching under the old ways baggage. He's used to the money and mercenary ways of the NBA. He came in and immediately put a system and coaches in place to deal with new environment. His older brother, Justin Young, who is director of recruiting spent two decades in recruiting and media, primarily focused on high school and college basketball. He was the co-owner and editor-in-chief of HoopSeen.com. Prior to that, he worked for Rivals.com and Yahoo! Sports, serving as the national basketball editor and a contributing editor, respectively. All that guy does is monitor for talent and gems. I imagine lots of college coaches used to the old system really struggling to adapt to this new world (like Baylor losing every single player and having to rebuild a whole roster in one offseason!). It's a new era for BYU when players are leaving BYU for Georgia and Virginia to get more playing time. I do miss things about the old ways, but BYU is benefitting far more in the new world. I imagine this annoys traditional bluebloods that didn't have to worry about the likes of BYU before and deal with another competitor for talent. Going forward, I expect us to make the stacked group of S16 every year. I'm lovin it.
  3. @Brian Fantana Maybe BYU in the mix for Darrion Williams if he doesn't go pro. Article sounds more like speculation and Williams filling a need vs actual smoke from Darrion tho. https://www.sportscasting.com/news/darrion-williams-transfer-portial-why-byu-and-kentucky-make-most-sense-as-texas-tech-forwards-next-team/
  4. Rob Wright has signed with BYU. https://x.com/TiptonEdits/status/1910434762176557204
  5. Reports coming out now that Rob Wright has signed with BYU. https://x.com/TiptonEdits/status/1910434762176557204 (for some reason, x posts no longer embed for me, if anyone knows the solution please share)
  6. What I have heard is that BYU NIL + Nike + Red Bull is around $7M for AJ.
  7. Allegedly. Haven't seen this number from a reputable source, yet. Big 12 hoops gonna be nasty next season tho.
  8. Duke is a juggernaut and I can easily see them winning it all. They have some big challenges ahead, tho. If they get past Arizona, they will face Alabama or BYU, both high-powered offenses. BYU can match up with Duke height-wise, too. Our starting center is only 6'8", but the guy is a unit/freak athlete with a 7'4" wingspan and 40" vertical. Our starting PG is 6'9" and a potential lottery pick. The rest of our starters are 6'5"-6'7". Only Houston's defense has been able to stop us. I picked Duke to beat BYU in my bracket, but I am hoping BYU get's a shot at Duke on Saturday.
  9. I have to give it to Utah State, they seem to consistently hit on their bball coaching hires. Just can't keep em there.
  10. And the UNC AD got a $100K bonus if UNC got in. "Hey boys, steak dinner's on me if UNC makes it in -- wink wink -- see you in a minute..."
  11. Major respect to Iowa State. You should go far in the tournament. Do not want to play you again this year. Your starting backcourt out today gave Jones a stage to shine and he did. Houston is the only team to destroy us this year. Our rematch tomorrow will be a good measuring stick for how far BYU has come this year.
