It’s been a week since the last upsets. Ole Miss over Iowa State and Kentucky over Illinois last Sunday.

TCuz Coastal Elite

3:29pm

UK was the 3 seed, UofI was the 6 seed.

BYUHgrad

3:30pm

Correct. Kentucky was a 2.5 point underdog.

TCuz

3:31pm

Kentucky wasn’t an upset

That's true

So MSU’s Koehler is basically a big body, underneath defense and rebounding guy?

cajuncoug

Chalk is usually no fun but these 4 teams are clearly the best 4. Next week

If there are no perfect brackets this year then there will never be one.

I don’t understand your question. Are you asking if the Yankees are hitting well

There are just four teams that are way better than everyone else.

I hate mom jeans with a passion. Nobody looks good in them, nobody.

Izzo has averaged a Final Four every 4 seasons over 30 yrs at MSU

That is almost unbelievable.

If BYU boosters can match his $4~6M salary for this next NBA season

Still have to consider that it delays getting to the second (and third)

What we learned from Spring ball on Defense:

CrimWalCoug All-American in practice

3:16pm

Would they make room for another guy in addition to Taumopeau from Stanford?

puntersarepeople

3:18pm

Absolutely! You can always make room for better players!!

BYUHgrad

3:21pm

They held back at least one schollie on Defense for a transfer portal guy. Could use it on Nusi instead.

CrimWalCoug

3:26pm

Would love to see Esera moved to weakside DL/LB w/ Taggard as MLB.

BYUHgrad

3:23pm

Could happen in 2026.

CrimWalCoug

Not doubting you, just wondering: why not in 2025?

Intense defense is so much harder to replicate than great offensive sets.

macdizzle

2:47pm

What’s the right balance of LDS kids and elite talent?

TarCoug

2:47pm

I want every 4-5 star LDS kid playing for BYU and surround them with 4-5 star non LDS athletes

JohnnyComeLately

2:48pm

Get the best athletes you can get and will live the HC. Who cares if they’re LDS

Magneto

2:50pm

This^^^

arizonacougarfan

2:56pm

BYU is a missionary tool. Ty Detmer wasn’t LDS. Jimmer wasn’t active. Now look

Magneto

3:10pm

... And were surrounded by, and influenced by their less athletically gifted active, RM, LDS teammates.

Black Diamond Bay

3:12pm

That won’t fly with the powers that be and it wouldn’t work.

kansascougar

3:22pm

Best lds and legacy kids are a required target

niqmadu

3:27pm

We are going to get the most interest from LDS kids so we probably should skew.

johnnybyu

3:28pm

If we land the best 5 LDS kids that leaves 10 spots for elite non LDS.

KayakCoug

2:50pm

I like this approach

TarCoug

3:00pm

If we can clean up on top LDS prospects this shouldn’t be a problem

ldssdl

2:50pm

Get the highly rated LDS kids, there is at least one per class, and pair them

arizonacougarfan

2:51pm

My guess it is shifts to 30/70 LDS/otherwise, with fewer locals. More 4/5* LDS

seacougar

2:53pm

Can you imagine having a bunch of high level guys like Egor who loves BYU

JohnnyC

2:54pm

Don’t care if they’re “local” but getting top LDS players should always be a priority.

Soupie

2:55pm

I don't care about the mix as long as they represent the principles of BYU

BluebloodOR

3:00pm

I think you need 3-4 LDS kids, 3-4 outwardly religious kids (e.g. Fouss), then

runnincoug

This is the way. I think some people forget the Gary Crowton era.
