Wahlin in the portal.

Twitch Chatter

Mar 14, 12:10pm

Utah Tech is probably excited

acougfan

Mar 14, 12:11pm

Wahlin could transfer up somewhere, or at least he's putting himself into

When was he at BYU? Did he ever play?

volleyjiver

Former BYU commit is all.

Committed to Pope, went on mission.

mulletino

Mar 14, 12:14pm

Ya, weird to list him as a byu transfer. He never played here.

Kdubb

Mar 14, 12:14pm

"Swapped to Utah few days after his mission"--sad he prob. never made it to AP

JackStack

Mar 14, 12:40pm

Well I for one am shocked…

ChiCityCoug

Mar 14, 12:13pm

Pass. He's basically the same player as Bosko and Koz.

arizonacougarfan

Mar 14, 12:13pm

Bosko has 1 year left, Wahlin has 3. Young plays 10-11. 🤷🏻‍♂️

mulletino

Mar 14, 12:15pm

I thought he only had 2.

ChiCityCoug

Mar 14, 12:16pm

yup Wahlin played 2 seasons at U of U, so now that we are past covid just has 2

cwilke1

Mar 14, 12:19pm

Ah got it. That’s right. We’re past the point where many could play forever.

mulletino

Mar 14, 12:32pm

He could redshirt and the NCAA is still thinking about 5 years of eligibility

RenoCoug

Mar 14, 12:41pm

He is not. For one he has 2 year’s left and he plays under way better control than Bosko.

5150man

Mar 14, 12:18pm

The post you responded to is correct. No way we trade KOZ for him and Bosco will get the lions share of minutes next

KYU

Mar 14, 12:26pm

I was responding to them being the same player not playing the same position.

5150man

Mar 14, 12:38pm

Boscovich can defend the 5 much better than Wahlin

Goatnapper'96

Mar 14, 12:33pm

I think we can and need to get much better than Wahlin. Plus the dude had his shot and blew it. It rather get Sanon

KYU

Mar 14, 12:38pm

Sanon much better offensively, Wahlin much better defensively. Both is nice.

Mitty

Mar 14, 12:48pm

Sanon will be first round draft choice.

Bullrider

Mar 14, 1:04pm

If KY gets him for a year yes

KYU

Mar 14, 1:09pm

Disagree. Bosco has proven himself a high-level talent. Koz value still unknown

ByTheirFruits

Mar 14, 12:21pm

Board name checks out.

Parker Schnabel

Mar 14, 12:55pm

We have no idea if either of those guys are coming back, and with Bosko not

Mitty

Mar 14, 12:21pm

hard to compare him to a guy that has yet to show he can play vs. BIG12 talent

BYUheaven

Mar 14, 12:22pm

That's the point, Whalin wouldn't have seen the floor for BYU this year

VB2

Mar 14, 2:29pm

All three are different players.

puntersarepeople

Mar 14, 12:24pm

Yes you are factually correct. There are no two players that are the same. 🙄

KYU

Mar 14, 12:28pm

Who says we have either one of them next year?

OKchief

Mar 14, 2:21pm

Would love to see him in Provo. He can play. Seems many on CB are jaded by the fact that he was a Yewt. We want this kid

HarlemCoug

Mar 14, 12:15pm

Could be a nice stretch 4 for us, play some at the 3

RenoCoug

Mar 14, 12:18pm

Maybe a bit like Waterman.

Housemartin

Mar 14, 12:42pm

Which is why we should pass

Bluforever

Mar 14, 1:13pm

He is sooooo much better than Waterman.

Phreddy

Mar 14, 3:31pm

Exactly, they seem to forget where we got Keita

ChinaFan

Mar 14, 12:20pm

I don't care that he he played for Utah specifically. What I care about is that he was

kimdaddy35

Mar 14, 12:25pm

BYU needs additions to play defense and rebound next year more than score points

puntersarepeople

Mar 14, 12:27pm

BYU really doesn't need a 4 next year with AJ, Bosko, Mboup, Catchings (maybe), Koz....etc so you would have to

kimdaddy35

Mar 14, 12:41pm

My overall point is that whoever they bring in doesn’t need to be a big producer

puntersarepeople

Mar 14, 1:54pm

Imagine that. 12 deep with guys who contribute.

Cougarbib

Mar 14, 4:37pm

He already had his chance to come to BYU

Ojiisan

Mar 14, 12:26pm

Bring Him Home!

Little Mac

Mar 14, 12:34pm

Dang you beat me but I agree. The best local LDS players need to play with BYU

johnnybyu

Mar 14, 1:30pm

The best local LDS players already do play for BYU.

kimdaddy35

Mar 14, 1:31pm

Some of the best, but Wahlin fits in well with the group we have.

johnnybyu

Mar 14, 1:32pm

He is athletic and has a good looking stroke. That’s a guy you take unless you

OKchief

Mar 14, 2:24pm

I absolutely agree - he's got major upside.

StoneyCurtis

Mar 14, 4:02pm

Transferred to Utah because Burgess was there

RenoCoug

Mar 14, 12:17pm

Just a sophomore, athletic, long. One of UU's best defenders by the metrics.

Mitty

Mar 14, 12:19pm

Poor kid doesn't want to be involved with the Magic show on the hill

Coug

Mar 14, 12:19pm

Not surprised, I expect a lot of transfer portal news coming out of Utah.

CougarChaser

Mar 14, 12:20pm

If KY wants him, great. If not, who cares.

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

Mar 14, 12:21pm

Yup, in the old days he would have been a great get. KY is doing things

ImRonBurgundy?

Mar 14, 12:32pm

This. I'm happy to let the coaches judge who they want and need. They are better

WVU_Prof

Mar 14, 8:14pm

I think it's noteworthy that Alex Jensen couldn't convince him to stay. One of the main reasons Alex was hired early

HarlemCoug

Mar 14, 12:25pm

I suppose he has no relationship to Alex, so I get it.

Carnac

Mar 14, 12:29pm

He may test the waters and then come back. Too early to say AJ failed

puntersarepeople

Mar 14, 12:31pm

I mean Wahlin could always choose to go back if he wanted to. I honestly think based on posts from

kimdaddy35

Mar 14, 12:33pm

He hasn't left yet. Just like Saunders and Hall last year.

ochobeeguy

Mar 14, 12:42pm

Honestly I think the only reason he is in the portal is to come to BYU.

TigermanCougarman

Mar 14, 12:27pm

Get him to Provo!

Iman23

Mar 14, 12:28pm

I would take him if there's no getting Catchings back. But I'd rather keep Catchings if we can.

BackPacker

Mar 14, 12:42pm

Would be good added depth and size and I like the idea of still getting good LDS

Lord Jim

Mar 14, 12:54pm

We need to keep a core of LDS/Local guys to mix with the AJ's and Demin. We are

johnnybyu

Mar 14, 1:32pm

Certainly would be slotted in as a bench piece for us next year, not starter.

Mitty

Mar 14, 10:23pm

Wahlin under KY's tutelage would be impressive

DJROSS

Mar 14, 1:10pm

I would love to have him here, if KY wants him. Give him a chance to compete. Put

BYU I Bleed Blue

Mar 14, 1:14pm

He has Aggie written all over him.

Bullrider

Mar 14, 1:16pm

KY Bring Him Home

johnnybyu

Mar 14, 1:28pm

You should have told him if he thought this was home he never should have left.

kimdaddy35

Mar 14, 1:33pm

I will be surprised and sad if KY abandons local/LDS players and goes all in

johnnybyu

Mar 14, 1:39pm

4 year players are very important to the program. 2 year transfers much less so.

kimdaddy35

Mar 14, 1:41pm

Wasn’t it Bahr who signed with us at the same time Koz and Kohler signed at USC and Michigan State? I think he’s

hamaca

Mar 14, 1:54pm

Yes on Koz, I don't remember Kohler who is a couple of years old but could have signed with them post mission.

kimdaddy35

Mar 14, 2:34pm

I will be happy if he brings in a player who is better than Wahlin.

SageOwl

Mar 14, 2:17pm

Is it worth it to bring him in if it pushes Koz out?

puntersarepeople

Mar 14, 3:52pm

Why would he push Koz out?

Cougarbib

Mar 14, 4:47pm

They play the same position and Koz probably wants to get playing time next year

puntersarepeople

Mar 14, 4:52pm

“I believe that BYU will add at least one high-level player from the transfer portal that isn’t on any BYU fans’ radar

hamaca

Mar 14, 1:39pm

We need a Mag type player in addition to a player like Whalin

johnnybyu

Mar 14, 1:40pm

I'm hoping it's a BIG big man that can replace Fouss' post threat. Need size.

Mitty

Mar 14, 1:41pm

I would like Utah's Ausar to take Fouss' place.

BYU I Bleed Blue

Mar 14, 1:54pm

Exactly what I was thinking and was about to type. A 7-foot transfer with decent experience, good defender,

hamaca

Mar 14, 1:56pm

I mean if KY wants him, KY will get him. I think we'll pretty much have our

The Dairy Utes will come with open arms!!
