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

TNT

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

BYUMizzou

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

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

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

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

Me getting a notification that my 16 yr old's card was declined at Taco Bell after weeks of telling him to get a job:

Here you go...and RW showing 100% to BYU

UTAHCANE

5:55pm

Wahoo!

TNT

6:01pm

The good thing for KY is that there is absolutely no room for a sophomore slump. Good luck Kev!

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

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

BlueKarma

5:54pm

BYU should go after this international recruit

UNLVcougar

5:43pm

Emmanuel Sharp needed mentorship from him

ProudZoob

5:46pm

I guess that would have been preferable over no shot at all

UNLVcougar

5:47pm

Whoa. And I thought Dawson Baker's looked weird

RSL

5:51pm

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

ColonelSaunders

5:53pm

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

bruincoug

5:54pm

Shawn Marion thinks that is an ugly shot

TADOW

5:59pm

So it looks like Catchings is going to North Carolina. There’s a lot of chatter

AF Cougar

5:36pm

the expectations there will be a level up from BYU

lukeskywalker

5:37pm

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

BYUCLA

5:53pm

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

rivercitycoug

5:40pm

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

Archaea

5:43pm

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

ldssdl

5:53pm

Hall has much better offers than that

JOPE

they must have used AI to show some emotion on his face because I never saw any

Do we know why Wright entered the portal?

Gustav

5:35pm

cuz we told him we needed a PG and we could pay him lots.

Raise, chance at a deep tourney run

RSL

On the Wright III reports - saw this on some Baylor Reddit thread

Rhubarb

5:34pm

Sorry friends. Not Sorry.

Archaea

5:34pm

We gave the Lohner, they owe us.

Benfica1

5:39pm

This plus a football coach and two offensive linemen. They owe us.

Archaea

5:42pm

Yes, they owe us for Grimes, that's true

Bob Vance

5:46pm

We unloaded Lohner. We still owe them for that one.

Bob Vance

5:45pm

Bite your tongue. They OWE us. Big time.

Trump isn't bringing back manufacturing to the US. It's ridiculous.

Jay Rick

Also, Americans don't want to pay $9,000 for a IPhone

Blueto

5:42pm

False

Bob Vance

5:46pm

The reality is that if jobs come here we will use non US workers with visas.

NYCougz

5:47pm

Automation of manufacturing jobs creates a very high-paying job.

PickleButton

6:05pm

Very few manufacturing jobs will go to the Midwest swing states

CougieMcCougFace

5:42pm

Manufacturing jobs will be back as soon as Trump gets rid of income taxes

GA_Coug

Dang things move fast. NIL capital freed up from keeping it in case Egor stayed

archie

5:30pm

What other money just opened up?

Bald Eagle

6:05pm

Egor went pro. Would have had to be a massive NIL to make sense to stay.

archie

6:07pm

Why is everyone sleeping on Dawson Baker?

YLife

5:29pm

Not if RGWIII comes, he won't be. But he could be a useful piece;

Archaea

5:30pm

I’m trying to be positive, but maybe because we watched him for a full year?

DieHarder

I actually thought he played well in the Utah game and the postseason. His

I hope no one except a lawfully wedded wife is sleeping on Dawson

Please don’t be true. We really need him next year.

Crowd Factor

5:34pm

He is a baller and could be sixth man of the year if he stays.

ColonelSaunders

5:34pm

I'm really happy he's on the team, but he's a 7 min per game type player in most

KayakCoug

5:35pm

Love his game — but the minutes are getting thin, honestly. We have a LOT

SinkingQuffa

5:36pm

I’m a Baker defender. He’ll be our scoring spark off the bench, like Jordan

ldssdl

5:57pm

Agreed. I think he's perfectly suited to be a 6th man.

ImRonBurgundy?

6:05pm

Need him to shoot 38%+ from 3 next year and defend more. He's valuable.

pinolero

5:58pm

Love Dawson, but he didn’t play like the final 4 guards

Hufflepuff

6:00pm

Well yeah. Those guys are elite

TNT

With NIL & transfers out of control, we needed Fat Little Girlfriends Part Two

rivercitycoug

5:16pm

Assuming RW3 transfers to the Y, we still need another PG. I have a feeling

maweien

5:14pm

Retain Crawford to be his backup

futureblueblood32

5:15pm

Dude, Crawford is NOT coming back.

kimdaddy35

5:16pm

Because plenty of people do enter the portal and return.

dtownCoug

5:37pm

Bring back Dallin Hall

RdF3

5:16pm

100% not happening. Much more likely a 2nd tier guy like Mason Falslev.

kimdaddy35

5:17pm

Falslev isn’t leaving a starting role to come play 15 mins a game

futureblueblood32

5:18pm

RE: Falslev isn’t leaving a starting role to come play 15 mins a game

kimdaddy35

5:21pm

Is byu going to offer Falslev more than the $1.5M Virginia is offering him?

RdF3

5:20pm

If they want him they will. Plus there is no chance Virginia is offering both Hall and Falslev.

kimdaddy35

5:24pm

Some of you never stop.

Archaea

5:47pm

Tanner toolson?

Hsaru

5:17pm

Not a PG but could he learn?

Soupie

I’d love to have Toolson

AF Cougar

5:24pm

Me too, but I don’t think he can play point guard

kC Cougar

5:27pm

This guy from Harvard looks like he would be a solid backup....

mokelembembe

Rob Wright was #1 PG in class of '24, 23rd nationally...

VinnyBYU

5:14pm

and more importantly, he killed it for Baylor last year. he will get buckets

Now let's go get Dillon Mitchell from Cincinnati. Power forward, went to the same school as Rob Wright. Great defender.

zonacougar Medium Rare

No, Duke. You swung and missed.
