Final Four would've happened w/ Davies, imo

A lot will laugh at this but I agree. Crazy how close we were.

Yup. Not even close.

Yup, definitely the other way around

The injuries in Jimmers senior year were brutal. Not just Davies.

Collinsworth's injury was very damaging

Sooooooo overhyped. Especially Haws. Good yewt.

Gerald-DeGroot

12/13/17 1:47pm

And let me clarify. Haws is a good player. But the HYPE was unreal.

Gerald-DeGroot

12/13/17 3:20pm

National rank of 55 for TJ Haws.

A good team starts with good recruiting. Those guys were/are all super talented.

Yes, they were/are. But it takes more than talent to win

They already beat SDSU twice prior to their loss in the tournament. If they win

I'm gonna say this as one pretty critical of the LDS Church/religion:

mantis mutu

12/13/17 12:58pm

The OP is pretty clearly talking about being a “letdown in BB,”

garyfan

12/13/17 1:32pm

And my point was we should temper our expectations due to the limitations

mantis mutu

12/13/17 1:36pm

Sorry, I missed your point. I thought you were saying

garyfan

12/13/17 1:54pm

No, bro. It was a good clarification to make.

mantis mutu

I believe Emery didn't finish his 2 year mission, as you stated above.

I think trying to return after one health setback is good enough to call

I know Mika left early, but there's a lot of basketball ahead

Exactly. What the? Did people really expect a Fab5 final four run?

teancum

12/13/17 1:59pm

Neither were letdowns. We don't know 2011 would've been different with Davies.

Gerald-DeGroot

12/13/17 2:11pm

It wasn't the rebounds, it was the scoring inside that we missed without Davies

JadedCougar

12/13/17 2:32pm

It was the seeding that would have changed

wapiti

12/13/17 2:53pm

We needed depth up front and Brandon also could score.

People's expectations were way inflated in regards to LP3

Is this Jackson Emery? This was a national championship HS team. Mika left after

LP3 was definitely a let down... I can't say the same for Davies though.

#3 for me was not landing Jabari Parker. It was a long shot, but still.

Davies being punished was the biggest let down,
