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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Next year.

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

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

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

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.

Pass. We can do better

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

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

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