Is no guarantee of success, especially one and dones who are 18 years old. Still a good problem to have and at least BYU has a mix of youth and experience.

Catchings certainly more talented than Waterman but

We will see if he has the same drive to rebound. He feels like a better shooter.

Same drive to rebound? Shirley you jest.

Certainly more expensive

do you know how much NIL Catchings got? on this board it was posted that NW got

I think that is a good perspective to have. For as exciting as it is to have these young players

If we had kept Waterman, I'd say this team is really good

Waterman did some good things but not a huge loss

He will, yes. More importantly, Mag will be a better defender, too. And Noah was very valuable for us on D.

Bart Torvik has us currently projected #41 for next year w/ updated roster.

When I was in mutual, the young men would play the Elders Quorum in basketball.

No guarantee of the established guys having an advantage there either

we routinely crushed our men's team. They stopped playing us

I sure wish we still had Noah. He would make this a better team. You

Waterman was good but he was a huge liability on the road in the big 12.

Waterman will never be drafted, but Catchings will be, that is a big difference!

Waterman would be my fifth option at the 4 if on the current roster

I might be a bit kinder than that — but I tend to agree. Noah was best as a mismatch 3.

SinkingQuffa

Jun 18, 2:19pm

a mismatch 3....is that like a 3.25? 3.5 maybe?

icecougar

Jun 18, 5:55pm

Something like that. Noah was the right kinda tweener — forced to play in the wrong position mostly last season.

Tim Fanning says there won’t be a lot of differentiation between positions 1-4…

That's gonna be pretty sweet to behold at BYU.

Waterman was a terrific player for us who improved greatly

Waterman wasnt that good, i dont know why people act like he was a huge loss.

It was the story they ran on him. Very likeable. Tough upbringing. Soft player

Phreddy

Waterman disappeared in big games

4mack

Not in the Vegas tourney. Or always thereafter

cajuncoug

Jun 18, 5:00pm

Exactly. Defense was good but offensively, he was a no-show in many big games

bad84cougar

my one issue with Waterman is his confidence in big games...
