Wesley and Araujo deserve consideration with most of those you listed

Charles Darwin

Jul 6, 7:52am

Just pick Jimmer again.

WaffleCheese

We'll be making a whole different Top 5 list 10 years from now.

Jul 6, 12:21pm

I’d put Bradley on the list as well,for the impact he had in his one year on the team.

Islandercoug

Jul 6, 7:56am

Bradley is overrated as a BYU player. Didn't do much. Gary Trost was a better 5

Greg4BYU

Jul 6, 8:16am

Trost was a very good player,I also thought Steve Schriner was an underrated player from

Islandercoug

Jul 6, 8:45am

Yoeli for sure

Blueto

Jul 6, 7:58am

Underrated: Lee cummard, keena young, mike rose, Luiz lemes, Tyrrell lyday. Really enjoyed watching them play

Devin Durrant should be a for sure spot

mokelembembe

Jul 6, 7:59am

How in the world did I miss Devin Durrant he’s probably top three or five

44C

Jul 6, 9:40am

Top 5 - The 3 you list plus Shawn Bradley and Devin Durrant. #Ponderize

pinolero

Jul 6, 8:05am

Next 4 - Yoeli, Tyler Haws, KC, Russell Larsen

pinolero

Jul 6, 9:20am

Mike Smith is definitely in the conversation with all these guys you mentioned

kC Cougar

Jul 6, 11:14pm

Yes forgot about him. I'd put him close to top 5-6. He was great.

pinolero

Jul 7, 8:43am

Not top 5, but two underated guys I loved watching while attending -

Tuss

Jul 6, 8:13am

Nemelka

lbmango

Jul 6, 8:15am

These younger guys never got to see Nemelka play.

Oldcougfan

Jul 6, 10:20am

Travis Hansen in the conversation but not top 5

Honor Code

Jul 6, 8:15am

I might put him in there for some defense. Travis was a great player

ImRonBurgundy?

Jul 6, 9:23am

Jackson emery is a top 5-6 guy.

MaxxPower

Jul 6, 8:15am

Not even top 5-6 of last 20 years, much less so of all time at BYU.

dfudge

Jul 6, 1:33pm

As good as jimmer was, what made that team elite was Jackson

MaxxPower

Jul 6, 2:26pm

What made them elite was Brandon Davies.

ParentingNotForSissy

Jul 7, 2:26pm

Love all of these guys, but I hope this list changes significantly over the next

kC Cougar

Jul 6, 8:18am

Jimmer, Ainge, and Cosic are about as good as it gets for college players

puntersarepeople

Jul 6, 9:59am

I'm not anti-Kite, but he doesn't deserve to be on this list

Threw and Through

Jul 6, 12:29pm

Mel Hutchins, Dick Nemelka, Jim Eakins, Mekeli Wesley, Rafael Araujo, Paul

Threw and Through

Brandon Davies because of his commitment. Great guy who stayed at BYU

provoprodigy

Jul 6, 8:22am

I knew Bill got baptized but didn't know he served a mission

Wife_Apologist

Jul 6, 10:12am

Mike Smith...how can you forget him? 1st Round pick by Celtics!

BlueKarma

Jul 6, 10:15am

Agree. I never watched anything pre ‘85 but including Ainge/Cosic is obvious. Since ‘85 Smith and Jimmer are obvious.

5150man

Jul 6, 10:26am

Mel Hutchins?

thirdgencoug

Jul 6, 10:16am

ABSOLUTELY, has to be on the list! Before my time, but led to NIT championship,

Top 6: PG: Fredette, SG: Angie, F: Durrant, F: M. Smith, C: Cosic, C: Bradley

Undefeated

Jul 6, 10:56am

Love Bradley, but don't think he stayed long enough at BYU to edge out players

Jul 6, 10:57am

Jimmer Fredette, Danny Ainge, Yoeli Childs, Jake Toolson, T. J. Haws,

cajuncoug

Jul 6, 12:19pm

Can we just pick a top 10 or top 20? JK. Lots of great players on these lists

jaba166

Jul 6, 12:53pm

Whenever Maya kids asked me to pick my top 10 I always have at least 15

44C

Jul 6, 5:19pm

Elijah Bryant, Alex Barcello should be in the conversation.

jaba166

Jul 6, 12:58pm

Either 4. Ken Roberts-or-Russ Larson AND 5. Tyler Haws-or-Lee Cummard

Easy. Add Smith and Hutchins.

Jul 6, 7:56pm

Fairchild, Hutchins, Nemelka and Durrant are no-brainers
