All you need to know about Jon Wilner: he says we lack quality depth needed to

this might be the deepest team we've ever had....

Literally 2 groups worthy of being starting 5s.

Number eight in this conference ain’t bad at all….

This is a good realistic reminder.

It is BYU's deepest team but is it deep enough to challenge the top five?

Archaea

Cincy has killed it this off-season.

Lifer

If it is isn't, it won't be because of depth

How many of those could start on one of the top 5 teams in the conference?

StantonMac

Jun 27, 1:18pm

Not sure, maybe three? But depth to me is how good you are past

CaughtForaTouchdown

It shouldn't surprise you that Wilner has us below Cincy

It's a dumb reason why, but his prediction is fine. I'd take 8th considering

20? Who am I missing I thought we had 16

Warner

Jun 27, 9:30am

Oh you're right. It's 20 games and 16 teams. Yes 8th feels low.

Mostlyaccurate

Jun 27, 9:32am

It's low but not absurdly low. I'd rate anywhere between 5th and 9th

Jun 27, 9:37am

Well, you were mostly accurate.

8th in the Big12 is probably in the 24-30 range nationally. It’s a realistic

His history should have given us the resolve to never give him clicks, before or in future

CLCougar

He's a troll we should never feed; do not click, link, discuss

Still Blue

Wilner hates BYU. It’s well known.

BlooCoug

Jun 27, 9:38am

Most projections have us 6-8 and many on here are worried about big man depth

BYUheaven

Jun 27, 9:39am

I don't necessarily think the #8 projection is something to get up in arms about

BYUMizzou

Except on the glass beyond Keba and Fouss.

roseyscenario

Jun 27, 10:08am

I agree with this. I'd be more worried about our top end than our depth.

Baker, Baker, and Baker.

I hope this is the answer...and I think you could be right. If Baker

Need another proven major minute rebounder. Either a new recruit or from the roster one who becomes a 20%-8% DRB/ORB.

roseyscenario

Jun 27, 9:39am

We could have our deepest team ever and still finish 8th.

Parker Schnabel

Jun 27, 9:42am

We also have solid experience guys

AF Cougar

Jun 27, 9:50am

Dawson Baker, Keba Keita, and Mawot Mag are also experienced players

PumaFanatico

And finally there’s the awesome trio of Trey, Tripple, and Triplett

AF Cougar

Hah! Now that's funny. I think they should enter a 3v3 tourney together.

CaughtForaTouchdown

Jun 27, 12:56pm

Koz could be important this year. He is the only non center who has proven to be a good rebounder.

roseyscenario

Jun 27, 10:17am

Finishing as high as 6th or 7th would be very good

You can nitpick other things about BYU but not depth.

Why did you irritate all of those electrons with your redundance? No need

Wilner and Gordon Monson - don't waste your time or give them clicks.

In our actual rotation we'll only NEED to integrate 2 Frosh — Demin & Catchings. And Demin ain't really a Frosh, imo.

I'm very hopeful of them to AT LEAST finish the season strong. They obviously know what they're doing as coaches.

Look at his picks. Where is he REALLY off? Further, what's KY GL record?

Wilner still desperately trying to overcome his San Jose State hack start.

maybe your misunderstanding him. He says we will finish 8th. Thats exactly where most have us.

Blue2thebone

It's twelve o'clock twice a day, just like Wilner may be right once in awhile, but why give him clicks?

CLCougar

I don't know if your message was meant to go to the OP or who??? I wouldn't give him clicks

BYU preseason rank is #19 which would be 7th in the BIG12
