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

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.

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...

Football is a much better investment for schools

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

Heath Squashwell

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

mulletino

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

boctabulous

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.
