Baylor stole our PF in hoops and our OC and 2 linemen in football.....

Thrill

6:45pm

RW3 is intriguing for his PG skills offensively, but having a 6'1" guy on D

NOCAL_YFAN

6:43pm

What can you do? BYU never has elite quickness point guards

TNT

6:46pm

So we're getting a guy named Robert the III from Baylor?

NOCAL_YFAN

6:36pm

The Locked On Baylor guy had some pretty serious allegations about the RWIII

LifeLongLakerFan

I don't even care to correct people when they think it's the LDS church's money

Mayor of Cougartown

Weeping and wailing and gnashing of the teeth

karatekid

I will bathe in their tears.

TCuz

6:39pm

Means BYU is a player now

Locked On is pretty terrible in general. Just click baiting and fake rage for

Let them believe what they believe. You won't dissuade them otherwise.

Archaea

Baylor guy, not b12 guy right?

CougID

How is a bidding war also tampering?

Art Director

6:43pm

People say stupid stuff when they're mad. I'd be mad. I'm sure our turn will come.

zonacougar

6:43pm

Yeah he rambled on and then implied the church was ponying up. Bet he just got caught up in the moment.

slappy

6:44pm

Looking forward to many more statements like this one

LaVellIfIKnow

To quote the lady in the Capital One commercial, "I could get used to this."

Archaea

How good is this lineup guys? Elite 8? Final 4? I guess we’ll see this yr… 👏

futureblueblood32

6:33pm

the greatest team of all time I'd say conservatively.

NYCougz

6:38pm

Did Falslev sign with anyone?

CougarGregor

6:30pm

He’s not even in the portal

arizonacougarfan

6:32pm

This guy at UCI might be worth a look

RenoCoug

Or this guy from Samford (Alta High graduate)

RenoCoug

Get ready for a Baylor mbb rivalry. Those fans are not happy already 😂👏

futureblueblood32

I realize it's all hypothetical still, but with the pieces we are assembling, is

UNLVcougar

We need better perimeter D. AJ can excel there. RW3 is undersized, but from the

HingleMcCringleberry

Yes. Our perimeter D needs improvement. That lineup would provide it.

How long are 5 plane-fulls of iPhones going to last?

AF Cougar

Is that even legal?

mudpupper

6:28pm

Is that called FedEx?

HuskerFan2

6:35pm

Baylor may be salty over this one

Future_Tacos

6:24pm

"This bidding war just screams slimy." Poverty mentality.

Art Director

6:31pm

Well, they got Lohner from us. We got Wright from them. It’s even now. Baylor should simmer down.

Brisco

6:34pm

I mean it wouldve been preferable to poach OOC

ABCoug

6:36pm

Scott Drew is the gift to BYU basketball that keeps on giving.

Cougar Jazz Fan

6:38pm

I guess this is the opposite engagement tactic than Drake Toll

Tricky

6:40pm

Claiming the church contributes to NIL. PULEASE!

Blue Cougar

6:45pm

RWIII, Richie, AJ, Wahlin, Keita

RenoCoug

6:23pm

One of these things is not like the others.

tacallaway

6:23pm

Wright has never lived in Utah?

BGRTHNUMEGO

6:24pm

Stop with the Utah guys.

Archaea

he's not even an upgrade over Bosco.

This is a pretty interesting breakdown of Wright's game

TNT

6:18pm

His catch and shoot numbers are great. It'll be fun to see him off ball with

Mostlyaccurate

6:19pm

That he can drive and finish with either hand is huge

TNT

6:23pm

Mike Conley is maybe a better comp than Brunson

The Chief

6:28pm

His inside game reminds me of Brunson. Great player.

The Chief

6:24pm

Did Kev at least reach out to VJ Edgecombe’s agent before settling on Wright?

DieHarder

6:15pm

Isn't Edgecomb declaring for the draft?

Archaea

6:16pm

A sophomore Robert Wright is better than the demin/hall combo we just had

bulletproof

College most likely

Well fortunately that’s where BYU happens to be

CougarCanuck76

6:15pm

100% 🙌

Hutch65

6:13pm

Completely different players. If we bring in a really solid 2nd guard then yes

ColonelSaunders

6:13pm

Regardless of what else happens my statement is correct

bulletproof

6:13pm

That might be the dumbest thing I’ve read on CB today. Wright is not better than Demin.

KYU

6:13pm

Assuming he makes a leap in performance and consistency, he should be

Archaea

6:14pm

Wait, the demin who was unplayable at times because he couldn’t take care

bulletproof

6:16pm

He was never unplayable, but he went to the bench at times. He had some bat turnovers at times, but he facilitated the

KYU

6:22pm

lol, I saw the whole game. At times he was brilliant. At times extremely weak

bulletproof

6:32pm

I'd rather have Demin than Wright, but I think sophomore Wright > freshman Demin

tacallaway

6:22pm

If Wright could shoot it like he did against BYU all season, then you're

cwilke1

6:14pm

That's fair

TNT

6:15pm

Sigh...seems like you can say this same thing about a bunch of players.

Blueto

6:17pm

I'll come at you with a question: I saw flashes of brilliance from Wright;

Tricky

6:17pm

Ups and downs. Young. KY will get him improving quickly.

HingleMcCringleberry

6:19pm

I have no idea if "better" but he will be good under KY's tutelage and

Archaea

RE: A sophomore Robert Wright is better than the demin/hall combo we just had

dfudge

6:32pm

We have 1/2 of the capability back with Wright. Still 1 guard short

texaskevin

6:35pm

$3.5M? Sounds like a lot

AF Cougar

6:11pm

It might be total payout over multiple years

I don’t care! We have the money spend it! Top pg in the portal

Archaea

They would also do it to us in a heartbeat if they could.

Ryan doesn’t even think about 3.5 million. It’s like a biggie bag at Wendy’s.

BYU basketball is going to generate 8 digits more next year than it did this year. TV/ad revenue, ticket sales, cougar

BYU's player budget for this year is north of $30 Million

Why do so many spin losing Demin to the pros is such a good thing for BYU

Don't confront him with his lies. Let the troll work.

byuluvr

He's not even a good troll. That is the pathetic part.

O Gaucho

There's a difference between 'good for 2025-26' and 'good for BYU'.

Geldir

6:13pm

It's not rocket science

TNT

Because getting players to the NBA gets recruits more likely to come

Has BYU ever had a point guard as quick as Wright?

TNT

6:08pm

Michael Lloyd maybe and the Brazilian JUCO transfer was quick as well

Archaea

6:09pm

Lloyd maybe. Brazillian JUCO transfer.....don't remember him

TNT

6:10pm

he left our memory he was so fast.

NYCougz

6:10pm

Lyday was quick as well. Was he Luiz de Toledo, but that doesn't seem correct.

Archaea

6:12pm

Luis Lemes

TN_Coug

6:15pm

That's it.

Archaea

6:16pm

What’s his quickness rating?

BYUheaven

6:10pm

TNT is no recruiting guru but looks 9/10

TNT

6:10pm

Wow. That’s fast. He’s for sure the quickest

BYUheaven

6:13pm

No, for reference he was composite 5 star out of HS and he was the #1 HS

JOPE

6:18pm

Incredible

TNT

6:21pm

Count on at least 1-2 overseas players to round out the roster

BYUMizzou

6:08pm

In other words, try not to freak out about perceived holes in the roster

BYUMizzou

6:09pm

I want the Ferrari.

Archaea

6:10pm

Btw, BYU slaughtering Utah Tech 19-1, and softball pummeling them too

Archaea

Hopefully a 18 run lead is sufficient

Archaea

6:13pm

Assuming RWIII is coming and Richie comes back, we just need

zerigke

Sweet

TNT

6:04pm

Let's just add someone from the Cavaliers or Thunder while we're at it.

Archaea

6:04pm

Mitchell only played one year, right? He might be a decent add

Geldir

6:05pm

If we can get a top stretch 4 out of the portal, we're a legit title contender.

tacallaway

6:09pm

I think our only remaining need for rotation talent is a quality combo guard.

SinkingQuffa

6:13pm

Interesting, so you're thinking we play AJ at the 4?

tacallaway

6:18pm

Ideally, Saunders is a 3, not a 2. On both O & D that's true. On D, I just don't

SinkingQuffa

Such a good lineup if he comes

POLL: Who do you want if RGWIII comes, you can have only one

Archaea

5:50pm

Hall, but he's apparently chasing a bag that BYU isn't going to match, so Lee.

fbguru

5:51pm

Lee, and it's not close. He's is a top 20-30 player in the portal.

tacallaway

5:56pm

Agreed but some are married to the idea, we have to have the local guy.

Archaea

5:58pm

As a PG, though. Wright's fast, but too small to be versatile. What we need

SinkingQuffa

6:01pm

Lee is the best player, Hall would be best for culture/locker room.

Geldir

5:57pm

I also wouldn't mind the 6'6" Spaniard, who could

Archaea

6:03pm

I think he & Lee were viewed as PG1 targets. If Wright's in the fold

SinkingQuffa

6:06pm

Our budget is larger than you know.

Archaea

6:08pm

Even still, would Lee or the Euro be ok playing half their minutes at off guard?

SinkingQuffa

6:19pm

If he wants to play combo guard in the NBA then he'd be perfect.

Archaea

6:23pm

I really like the Euro kid. Lee would be fun, but I worry bout the physicality.

SinkingQuffa

6:28pm

He's a fringe first round draft pick this year. If he has to come in and compete

BYUMizzou

6:12pm

He might be okay as starting off guard, though. From the looks of his film

SinkingQuffa

6:31pm

Lee would not come if Wright comes. He’s a starting pg for a blue blood caliber

I wouldn't mind if we picked up Logue in the portal.

Figures you're a soccer dude. Baker doesn't have a weird shot.

ColonelSaunders

It’s the perfect shot. All shots are beautiful.

Not necessarily. We had sky high, highest rated recruit of all time expectations

I think USU would be a good fit for Hall with MF likely gone. Not sure they can

rivercitycoug

Hall will star in the MWC after having battled in the Big XII.

They already have Faslev. Utah seems more likely for Hall.
