There also wasn't any team leader for Arkansas either... so the wheels blew off. I think Hall and Saunders returning to BYU is going to be big for leadership on the team... that will go a long ways in helping chemistry.

chemistry is an essential component and a CSF for most sports teams...

They had too much chemistry. Male love triangle amongst the players?

Maybe. But so far KY has exceeded expectations (to me) in every way

This is my biggest concern. Having carryovers as key players helps with this

I’d call it a focus more than a concern

Sounds like managing an NBA team. I hope someone on staff has NBA experience…

I think risk is about the maturity of freshmen would be stars, trying to lead smart 24-25 year old guys.

"Teammates as coaches"? Sounds like the NBA...good time to learn how it works.

With NIL, chemistry will be a challenge every year in basketball. Much more so

I don’t think this is unique to BYU, but yeah you hope the team meshes well.

This is true for most every competitive team. Just modern CBB

I think BYU was as good as they were last year because of continuity on the roster. So that means the 25-26 year could
