New BYU walk-on, Townsend Tripple. 6’8 forward from Rocky Mtn high in Boise

I really hope he's good at 3's

Lohner's defense is horrible. Just stands around a lot. Nice to see Tripple

Don’t know. 5”10 high jump in track is all I can see

4/13/20 9:11pm

I jumped 5’10” in high school. Doesn’t mean much.

BYUfan92

4/13/20 9:39pm

It’s more the frame/weight than height. I was 5’10”/145 lbs.

Florwood

4/13/20 9:45pm

5'10" is kind of what separates those who have a shot at being a real high jump

DJROSS

4/14/20 9:21am

LOL. You're right. Lohner looked awful out there.

LiveCoug

4/13/20 9:11pm

Horribly lazy on the defensive boards too. Must be an anomaly.

Looked pretty slow afoot as well.

Caleb is an incredibly talented player. His issue is the little things. He does most of the big things well.

oh come on its a highlight video only showing all makes of Tripple

I love the name. Looks like he could be very good!

Here is another video. Vertical definitely not an issue

I've certainly seen less-impressive highlight vids about highly touted players.

PGVikingDad

4/13/20 9:38pm

Good find, thanks. Wondering if his dad is Tennison Tripple, anybody know?

BYUfan92

4/13/20 9:40pm

Nope, that's not his dad.

Steven Koren

4/13/20 10:13pm

Ok. I knew Tennison was a hs coach in the Boise area a few years ago.

Reminds me of Nixon - not bad, now if he only leaves it on the floor like Nixon

Cougarpride

When has Nixon had a dunk like any of those?

Aahh. Nixon? When has Nixon ever thrown down an alley oop? I have loved his

Reminds me of Stephen Rogers and Britton Johnson

Steven Koren

4/14/20 4:27pm

He doesn’t look like a sharpshooter like Rogers

puntersarepeople

4/14/20 5:21pm

He's a one-footed jumper.

No touching

4/14/20 12:49pm

Hmmm. Video doesn't appear to agree with you.

FanofBYU

4/14/20 2:52pm

Pretty sure it does. 10 dunks off one foot, 1 off of two in those highlights. That's fine. It can be a big advantage

No touching

4/14/20 3:03pm

You said jumpers. I thought you were referring to jump shots. Many of his dunks

FanofBYU

4/14/20 4:07pm

I actually said he's a one-footed jumper, if you look above. I saw that he can dunk off of two feet, but he seems to

No touching

4/14/20 4:26pm

He may develop the ability to jump off of two feet

puntersarepeople

4/14/20 5:23pm

The more i see of this kid the more i like him

icecougar

Rose retired and BYU hired Mark Pope from UVU to coach the men's basketball team

cwilke1

4/14/20 9:16pm

Typo, good catch...

icecougar

4/15/20 4:30pm

One site says he averaged 25 and shot 65% from the field. Video shows lots of 3s

PortlandBlue

Looks like 15 and 6.....

4/14/20 7:33am

Looks like a great addition - welcome to BYU, Mr. Tripple!

blue13

4/13/20 10:45pm

Ummmm, why isnt this guy gonna be on scholarship?

puntersarepeople

4/13/20 10:48pm

Likely will be. COVID has created all sorts of messes

Big Papi

4/14/20 7:48am

Do you know that he would've been on scholarship post-mission or is that just

puntersarepeople

4/14/20 9:38am

Complete speculation based on the film. He looks good against good talent

Big Papi

4/14/20 9:38pm

I agree

puntersarepeople

4/14/20 9:49pm

He looks really good. Shows really good mobility for someone his size. Loved his

FanofBYU

4/15/20 8:23am

...and maybe a little better defensively due to his length than Seljaas or ...

icecougar

4/15/20 4:33pm

Maybe if he can put on some weight

puntersarepeople

4/15/20 4:50pm

Yeah, he’ll need to. He benches 155 and squats 240...

4/15/20 4:56pm

We have plenty of depth to do that

You need to get out more

LakeshowCougs

4/14/20 8:07am

I don't know if he can move well enough to be better than Harding

puntersarepeople

4/14/20 9:41am

Agree. Harding is a really good athlete.

Hang10

4/14/20 12:19pm

Harding has got good size and coordination

puntersarepeople

4/14/20 1:10pm

Had nagging injuries this season but showed more explosiveness later in season and Freshman yr.

Soupie

4/14/20 1:19pm

It's true that his knee was hurt for a while

puntersarepeople

4/14/20 2:48pm

Dang it!!!

Watched him play...he looks like a great player

richvan

4/14/20 1:01am

I think based on his tape, a pretty good potential comp

MAcc15Coug

4/14/20 7:28am

I thought the same thing

ThorLebowski

4/14/20 7:49am

Noah's brother Jacob would be an even better comp....

mokelembembe

4/14/20 8:22am

I'm not sure that's true.

MAcc15Coug

4/14/20 8:31am

I think a better comp might be Fred Roberts...

icecougar

4/15/20 5:21pm

At this point he's still more of a wing

puntersarepeople

4/14/20 9:43am

Except Tripple has better mobility and can put the ball on the floor...

icecougar

Awesome. Did see any dunks. Would have liked to see one or two in highlights.
