Excited to see what Toolson can do for us next year.

Jake Toolson will follow Mark Pope from Utah Valley to BYU, he told @Stadium. Grad transfer averaged 15.8 points and shot 46% from deep.

Scout’s take: “He shoots the crap out of the ball. Can really space the floor.”

Get beat off the dribble by more athletic players?

kotacoug

4/23/19 9:09pm

And even then he still might be better than what BYU had.

As crappy as our talent was Toolson isn’t an upgrade.

kotacoug

4/23/19 9:23pm

He's no worse defensively, and he's a better shooter than anyone in the team.

unctoothman

4/23/19 9:24pm

If he sucks, he sits the bench and is gone next year. No biggie. No risk in

Manti

4/23/19 9:26pm

He’s better than Seljaas or Emery

puntersarepeople

4/23/19 9:26pm

Might. His stats are from a weak conference, weak schedule.

FairWeather-L.I.T.S.

4/23/19 10:22pm

He was WAC player of the year. I’ll take him. Big upgrade at shooting guard.

Dangerous

4/23/19 10:46pm

His shooting will translate

BYU has a lot of awful fans.

4/23/19 10:40pm

BYU’s “fanatics” are incredibly intolerant...

Imagine living your life this way. LOL.

Whose minutes is he taking?

Archaea

4/23/19 9:10pm

If he hits 3s at 46%? I don't care whose minutes he takes.

Manti

4/23/19 9:11pm

Who can he guard?

Archaea

4/23/19 9:12pm

If he hits 3s at 46%? I don't care who he guards.

Manti

4/23/19 9:13pm

I hope you are right. Does he shoot off a screen?

Archaea

4/23/19 9:14pm

I'll take 46% on 3's and bad defense over 33% on 3's and bad defense, which is

Game Changer

4/23/19 9:14pm

Lol that a BYU fan the past decade and a half talks about defending anyone.

4/23/19 9:25pm

Jackson could guard people. Mike Hall could guard people. We've had guards

Archaea

4/24/19 10:44am

Jackson Emery was a lock down defender... he's a key reason we did so well with

Weak conference. Weak schedule.

Just half of what his Dad did would be beneficial.

777

4/23/19 9:10pm

oops Uncle? Cousin?

777

4/23/19 9:15pm

Danny Ainge is his uncle. I'd take that.

Jeffacka

4/23/19 9:17pm

What did his dad do?

Jeffacka

4/23/19 9:15pm

Watched his Cousin make a lot of three pointers in 1990. 😉

777

4/23/19 9:17pm

I watched him too.

Print the shirts! "From Orem to Provo"!

Manti

From Provo to Orem to Provo*

BenTheBoss

4/23/19 9:44pm

Maybe we can nickname him "UVX"

UberDeek

4/23/19 10:07pm

Good pick up. Excited to have him

tigerblue

Let it rain 3's baby

Heinz57

4/23/19 9:14pm

Wonder if he will start. Wade or Emery off the bench?

Dr T-bone

4/23/19 9:16pm

From what I’ve watched I’d pencil him in.

tigerblue

4/23/19 9:18pm

He will start

BYUMissouriCoug

4/23/19 9:21pm

Wade, TJ, Toolson all start

puntersarepeople

4/23/19 9:30pm

Along with Baxter and...?

trom2foot3

4/23/19 9:41pm

Seljaas will be our starting power forward--unless Pope can bring another big

dilbert

4/23/19 10:09pm

Harding also a consideration

4/23/19 9:50pm

Depends on who they want at PG

puntersarepeople

4/24/19 7:52am

The Mark Pope effect.

RdF3

4/23/19 9:19pm

Well, we are going to shoot a ton of threes next year. Hope we get some rebounds

BYUheaven

4/23/19 9:19pm

Don't need to rebound,

4/23/19 9:22pm

Wow... did not expect this...

Coug

4/23/19 9:28pm

It’ll be fun to see him and TJ learn to coexist

puntersarepeople

4/23/19 9:29pm

Should work well. TJ finally has a shooter to pass to.

thebruce

4/23/19 9:43pm

What happened to the CBer who said Jake would never return to

NewMexiCoug

4/23/19 9:32pm

But will he get into BYU?

BlueTroop

4/23/19 9:32pm

Ask B. Gurney, he seems to know things...

4/23/19 9:35pm

Funny that people are giving him crap about defense. This is a great get for byu

smokymountainrain

4/23/19 9:49pm

Wow. Tough crowd on here. He will be a great addition!

RE: Wow. Tough crowd on here. He will be a great addition!

YoungOne

4/23/19 10:58pm

He'll help, BUT, without a couple of decent bigs, we're screwed next season

AntiSNOT

4/23/19 10:03pm

Welcome back, Toolson! So excited to watch you!

andrewg3

4/23/19 10:05pm

Espn rates him as #28 best transfer

AF_Puma

4/23/19 10:24pm

Glad to have him back!

ausgezeichnet

4/23/19 10:31pm

Awesome! Excited to see him back at BYU

4/23/19 10:53pm

Bwahahahaha to the people who thought this would never happen.
