Falslev is very good. He'd be a solid pick up.

With the transfer portal opening today, thoughts on what BYU needs for an NC run

Guys, we have 3 sweet sixteen teams in our history and here we are talking about

Ozymandias

Mar 24, 8:26am

We've got a sweet sixteen team with the key pieces coming back and the #1

If you bothered to read my post, you’d see BYU is about 2/3 of the way there.

ldssdl

Mar 24, 8:29am

It’s going to take more than 2 years.

Ozymandias

Mar 24, 8:36am

In the transfer portal era, I don't see why that's a must. Especially when

Mar 24, 8:43am

It’s unrealistic to think a team can go from perennially being a bubble team or

Ozymandias

Mar 24, 8:48am

This argument is irrational. BYU has the pieces of a S16 team this year

puntersarepeople

Mar 24, 9:09am

Haha, yeah, my argument is irrational but talking about a NC run for a team

Ozymandias

Mar 24, 9:18am

Yeah, your being more reasonable.

Ozymandias

Mar 24, 9:18am

Did you forget to switch to another account to agree with yourself?

So, vague history is your only rebuttal? BYU has a different head coach, is in

Mar 24, 9:24am

Win a conference championship or 2 in the Big 12, then you can talk

Ozymandias

Mar 24, 9:31am

You only get AJ one year. This is the time to pull out all the stops. Donors

puntersarepeople

Mar 24, 9:36am

That’s great. Doesn’t mean you can just do it cause you want.

Ozymandias

Mar 24, 9:43am

Pulling out all the stops is something that is entirely dependent on BYU

What if BYU makes the Elite 8? Or the Final 4?

ldssdl

Mar 24, 10:09am

Winning your conference isn't required to win a NC. I do see what you are saying

Blue for Life

Mar 24, 10:57am

NC State was in the Final Four last year. Even better, check out 2023

Odysseus

Mar 24, 10:37am

Why would we not do that when we’re bringing in the best recruit on the planet for one year and returning a majority of

KYU

Mar 24, 8:32am

This is the new BYU. Comparison with old BYU teams doesn’t even make sense

DanSmith

Mar 24, 8:44am

Why not, we have never had the dominate #1 player from HS commit and recruit

Blue for Life

Mar 24, 8:48am

Where have you been? BYU’s in the Sweet 16 and adding the #1 player next year.

SoCalCoug

Mar 24, 9:03am

Winning a conference championship might be a great next step to set your sights

Ozymandias

Mar 24, 9:08am

If BYU wins the conference they’ll be a 1 seed expected to make a deep run

puntersarepeople

Mar 24, 9:12am

That is a great next goal to work towards. We should do that.

Ozymandias

Mar 24, 9:28am

They are one and the same. If you win the Big 12 you're a title contender

puntersarepeople

Mar 24, 9:32am

Next year.

SoCalCoug

Mar 24, 9:13am

Because Houston will be so easy to dethrone. Not only do they have a better

Ozymandias

Mar 24, 9:30am

This post shows you're not understanding the OP

puntersarepeople

Mar 24, 9:47am

No I completely understand BYU fans who have unrealistic expectations and then

Ozymandias

Mar 24, 12:19pm

You're projecting from a past that is fundamentally different from BYU's current

ldssdl

Mar 24, 12:26pm

That's a myth more than it is fact, both in general and on this board

puntersarepeople

Mar 24, 12:57pm

Conference championships don’t mean a thing in college basketball when you’re in the SEC Big Ten ACC and big 12

letthewookieewin

Plenty of top teams loaded with mid-major transfers.

Lifer

Mar 24, 8:29am

Right, but is there anyone on Utah or USU’s team that clearly makes BYU better?

ldssdl

Mar 24, 8:31am

Falslev is very good. He'd be a solid pick up.

Mostlyaccurate

Mar 24, 8:36am

Maybe. He's shot 57% from the FT line. Is he going to upgrade our defense?

ldssdl

Mar 24, 8:40am

1st team all defense in the MWC

puntersarepeople

Mar 24, 9:13am

Interesting. But is he even in the transfer portal? Either way, in KY we trust.

ldssdl

Mar 24, 9:23am

Pass. We can do better

Who are you thinking?

I think KY with his brothers connections will be able to have more reach

Blue for Life

One thing to keep in mind re: portal is that we also are thinking about 2026-27

dwhitebud

That Sanon guy at ASU would be a nice piece as a SG. need a 5 to replace Fouss

Hold onto and develop the three 4-star freshmen that we already have
