This will be his fourth year, so I wonder what his is. Willing to walk on for a bigger program and shoot his shot?

BYU has reached out to Utah Valley transfer Tanner Toolson (SG).

Played for the Cougars during the 2022-23 season.#BYUHOOPS https://t.co/klhqjqSmnj

Is Tanner Toolson a deep bench guy? BYU really interested?

I'd think a deep bench guy for us & half those teams

He’d be able to get a solid role as a SR here I think

Think he sees a 10 man rotation he may work his way on to with hard work. He got way more

Knell flavored replacement

I think Koz was recruited specifically to play the role Knell played. Toolson's

This seems so odd to me. Doesn’t seem like a culture fit at all.

That's just fans posting. Tons of people here do the same on recruit posts. NBD.

He’s a significant upgrade over Knell. I’d take him in a heartbeat. Saunders

More athletic, but worse shooter?

Projectoor

Mar 30, 11:16am

More athletic, better defender, better rebounder, better scorer, better shooter

jpal1397

What is your evidence of better shooter? Since it’s not the numbers 🤷‍♂️

Those other things could be true, but definitely not a better spot-up shooter

Projectoor

He can create his own shot and get to the rim and finish. %’s are similar

jpal1397

I like his game, but the 3pt percentages are not similar there’s a big gap

Knell was a one trick pony! When hot he was sizzling. When not he was liability

jpal1397

He developed enough ability to go to the basket he wasn't a total liability

I like Knell when hot but Toolson would be good replacement. Am I not making

Surre - a guy who is a career 33% 3 pt shooter is a "significant upgrade" over a

Mawot Mag's career 3 point % at Rutgers was < 30%. He shot 39.7% in KY's system.

Why is Creighton always on these lists with LDS/Utah kids?

Actually very interesting report because so much of CB was saying he is

Mitty

BYU may or may not have reached out. But don't believe reports. Too many agents/players lie.

kimdaddy35

Exactly, may mean absolutely nothing.

Mitty

Mar 30, 11:20am

Toolson is way too good for a walk on spot, he made a huge jump this year and

I agree, much of CB does not

We are losing a lot after ‘26 season. Since he has 2 years remaining, I’d take

Less pure scoring than Baker but has better size and athleticism

puntersarepeople

Mar 30, 11:43am

Baker was all conf in a better league, what were Toolsons accolades? Similar?

Mitty

Mar 30, 4:08pm

Why does this board think he’d be a walk on?

JamieTartt

Mar 30, 12:26pm

He wouldn't be out of the mix for a starting spot. Right now in a situation where we lose 5 guys and have 3 coming

Scholarship limit goes from 13 to 15 next year so there’s plenty of schollies.

Mar 30, 1:18pm

Interesting. Didn't know that. And no change on roster limits?

mokelembembe

Mar 30, 1:22pm

15 roster spots is the limit.

JamieTartt

Mar 30, 1:24pm

I’d be shocked if he came to byu. No starting spot guarantee and may ride the
