He looks really good. Shows really good mobility for someone his size. Loved his
spin move while dribbling the ball down court.

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

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.
Florwood
4/13/20 9:30pm
I didn’t do track, is 5”10 harder for a tall guy?
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

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

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

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

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

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

Nope, that's not his dad.

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

Reminds me of Stephen Rogers and Britton Johnson

He doesn’t look like a sharpshooter like Rogers

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

He may develop the ability to jump off of two feet

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

Ummmm, why isnt this guy gonna be on scholarship?

Likely will be. COVID has created all sorts of messes
Big Papi

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

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

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

Harding has got good size and coordination

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

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

At this point he's still more of a wing
