It drives me crazy that we were voted so low in basketball. I understand the big 12 got better. But my estimate is that the big 12 got somewhere between 15-30% better. BYU got, from a conservative estimate, 50% better. I’d put it closer to 60-70%. We have multiple 5 stars, multiple 4 stars, and players who have been developing at BYU for years and have developed into high 4 star status (Richie, dallin, fouss to a lesser extent). On top of all of that, our staff got twice as good as the last staff. KY > Pope. Burgess > Fueger. Linehan, Dunson, Voigt… we are STACKED.
Honestly, I’ll be disappointed if we don’t win the big 12. My prediction is that we are a 1 seed. Come at me all you want, but make sure to bookmark this for EOY.
