They'd be a sweet 16 team almost every year

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

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...

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

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

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

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.

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

May 3, 2:44pm

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!
