Utah will probably go after him HARD. I hope Creighton or even Duke still has interest and he goes to a place like that.

BackPacker Take a Hike

Would be really really awkward to see him as a Ute.

Dallin Hall is entering the portal:

DieHarder

Apr 2, 12:40pm

Might be the right move, but I'm sad.

TarCoug

Apr 2, 12:41pm

I feel the same. I think KY can bring in an upgrade to replace Dallin

Dan

Apr 2, 12:42pm

Not unexpected but still sad. A backup pg of Hall's caliber is a huge luxury.

tacallaway

Apr 2, 12:44pm

Best play...clutch shot at KS. Effort was always there.

vabeachcoug

Apr 2, 1:59pm

His best play was the AllyOop from Stewart.

Q-grr

Apr 2, 4:20pm

That’s sounds like he’s gone for sure. Good luck hope he lands on his feet

ATX

Apr 2, 12:41pm

That’s too bad. Wish this season would have worked out better for him.

allaboutthegainz

Apr 2, 12:41pm

Wow, unlike Catchings, didn't see that one coming.

westsidecoug

Apr 2, 12:41pm

Not shocked. It's possible we lose Hall, Egor, Kanon, Richie, Bosko, Crawford &

Forzaitalia

Apr 2, 3:17pm

Anybody know why? This wasn't even on my radar...

stev

Apr 2, 12:41pm

Really? He went from starter to back up. Was in the portal last year

ATX

Apr 2, 12:43pm

True, although he was still 3rd on the team in minutes.

ldssdl

Apr 2, 1:11pm

Right, this why it is somewhat surprising.

westsidecoug

Apr 2, 1:34pm

Yeah he had plenty of chances. Great player but needs his confidence back.

Srg

Apr 2, 4:40pm

I’m sure he discussed it with KY and saw the writing on the wall

Blue Heart

Apr 2, 3:33pm

It's like you don't even read my posts.

scootsy

Apr 2, 12:43pm

Honestly does anyone really read your posts? 😉

ManicBlue

Apr 2, 12:50pm

Really? People have been talking about it ever since the loss last week.

cheezedawg

Apr 2, 12:49pm

Just means you weren’t paying attention.

tkh9

Apr 2, 12:53pm

A. He wasn't projected to be the starter for next year; B. Either Egor or Silas

Archaea

Apr 2, 1:12pm

Silas is visiting many schools. There absolutely no assurance he’s coming to

Bluforever

Apr 2, 1:35pm

Absolutely not, but neither you nor I were on those video conferences and

Archaea

Apr 2, 4:34pm

Nor were we in on the visits and what was said (offered) with the other top

Bluforever

Apr 2, 4:54pm

Lots of people eat eggs before they hatch - after they hatch they aren’t really

Cougarbib

Apr 2, 4:58pm

KY has proven he knows what he's doing. Oh Ye of Little Faith.

Archaea

Apr 2, 4:58pm

Understanding that not every player will go to BYU doesn’t mean lack of faith

puntersarepeople

Apr 2, 5:02pm

It ain’t Silas.

Bluforever

Apr 3, 12:14pm

Hopefully that means Young already has a replacement in place. Losing both Demin

Hypnotoad

Apr 2, 12:42pm

Hopefully we can land Silas Demary form Georgia

jreid191

Apr 2, 12:44pm

There won't be a scramble. This has been known for a while by KY.

VinnyBYU

Apr 2, 12:49pm

That's good

Hypnotoad

Apr 2, 12:53pm

Players are independent agents. They do not need a coach's approval etc

Happy As Larry

Apr 2, 4:24pm

Egor? 👀👀

Boomcannon

Apr 2, 5:12pm

Does this mean Egor is coming back?

MajorZeus

Apr 2, 12:42pm

I doubt this is related. Hall wasn't going to start, regardless of Demin.

tacallaway

Apr 2, 12:45pm

That was my first thought

BYU Grounds

Apr 2, 1:44pm

That sucks. I’ll always remember his shot over Dickinson

HimmerFredette

Apr 2, 12:42pm

Been bracing for this. Wish him well. We'll always have the Kansas step back 3.

gangbusters

Apr 2, 12:43pm

And the Iowa State dunk

porl thompson

Apr 2, 2:20pm

No "with that being said". So is it really true?

Tater Tots

Apr 2, 12:43pm

Silas Demary Jr is visiting this week.

CougarCanuck76

Apr 2, 12:43pm

This announcement doesn’t hurt him coming too!

HeyU

Apr 2, 2:04pm

Sounds like he's not even considering a return

Mr. Belding

Apr 2, 12:43pm

Thought there was a chance this would happen, best of luck

Projectoor

Apr 2, 12:44pm

That either means Demin is staying, or we've signed somebody else. Or both.

zonacougar

Apr 2, 12:44pm

Or it means the coaches are pretty dead set on bringing someone in

Projectoor

Apr 2, 12:46pm

Doesn’t mean any of those. Means he wants to start and he wasn’t going to start

palangi

Apr 2, 3:22pm

Interesting. Either he’s shopping money, or he knows that BYU already has other

Squirt

Apr 2, 12:45pm

It's more likely that he was told he's not going to be a starter next year and

CameronG

Apr 2, 12:52pm

This isn't a surprise - most of the portal outreach has been guards

VinnyBYU

Apr 2, 12:45pm

Because his roomie Toolson is coming?

Kevin Arnold

Apr 2, 12:45pm

I could actually see Hall and Toolson ending up at the U when all is said and done.

BackPacker

Apr 2, 12:56pm

That would SUCK

provoprodigy

Apr 2, 1:03pm

This is my expectation

BYU Fan

Apr 2, 3:09pm

ABU

cougarmeister

Apr 2, 3:14pm

An underrated player. Was one of the top PGs in the Big 12 last year

downtownchrisbrown

Apr 2, 12:46pm

This has been fairly obvious for some time. Best of luck to Dallin

JoeExotic

Apr 2, 12:46pm

He's got to with uncertainty about Egor staying/going & KY's pursuit of a PG...

BamaCoug

Apr 2, 12:47pm

Super sad, but it probably means BYU has other plans at PG. I understand a guy

gww687

Apr 2, 12:47pm

Makes sense, he has one year left and likely wants to be a starter and play more

CameronG

Apr 2, 12:47pm

minutes would be a battle at any other top 25 school, so if he wants guaranteed

cwilke1

Apr 2, 1:00pm

Selfishly I'd love to see him at Weber since I'm an alum and he's a local kid

CameronG

Apr 2, 1:09pm

Wish him the best.

cheezedawg

Apr 2, 12:48pm

Surprised it took this long given April 7 deadline. I’m sure he and KY had long

Bluforever

Apr 2, 12:49pm

Best of luck Dallin!

AF'er

Apr 2, 12:50pm

Not a surprise at all. Wish him the best.

RockyBalboa

Apr 2, 12:51pm

Utah will probably go after him HARD. I hope Creighton or even Duke still has interest and he goes to a place like that.

BackPacker

Apr 2, 12:54pm

I don't think Dallin would have got into the rotation at Duke this year if he

cwilke1

Apr 2, 12:58pm

I would still respect his decision if the best opportunity for him ends up being the U, but that would be tough. Guess

BackPacker

Apr 2, 1:17pm

Hall got plenty of minutes - strange

Nodak Cougar

Apr 2, 1:09pm

He wants to be the starting PG for a team. He played from the bench last year

CT98

Apr 2, 1:20pm

Yeah - see this as strange

Nodak Cougar

Apr 2, 1:27pm

A few years ago, you would expect a guy like Hall @ BYU….different times

44C

Apr 2, 1:10pm

Dang it. I even if this means Egor is coming back I’m still sad. If Egor isn’t c

ColonelMustard

Apr 2, 1:16pm

Not happy. Best of luck Dallin.

temosabe

Apr 2, 1:16pm

Hall is like Matthew Dellavedova, solid at running the offense, but not the

DeminSlayer

Apr 2, 1:17pm

Hall's wishes he were as good as Matthew Dellavedova.

ldssdl

Apr 2, 1:27pm

What I meant was more of Dellavedova on the Milwaukee Bucks and how he compares

DeminSlayer

Apr 2, 1:42pm

Delly made a long NBA career running that, so… This sucks.

Mabuhay Coug

Apr 2, 1:40pm

Imagine taking all those hard BYU classes like American Heritage and Econ110...

Vincent's Picks

Apr 2, 1:18pm

Makes me wonder what's going on with the next season guard positions behind the scenes.

AltTabbins

Apr 2, 1:23pm

Needs a coach who can help him with Free throws. wasn't getting that at BYU

Bleeding Blue

Apr 2, 1:29pm

Every time Dallin stepped up to the line in the 2nd half of games, I was worried

CT98

Apr 2, 1:45pm

I want Falslev and DeMary Jr.

Rocketman

Apr 2, 1:35pm

Use the Hall NIL slot for Falslev

AZ Coug

Apr 2, 1:42pm

Falslev is not any better than Hall. We can and should aim higher.

Wingnut

Apr 2, 1:58pm

He wants Falslev as a backup just like we would’ve loved Hall as a backup

puntersarepeople

Apr 2, 2:10pm

I'll miss Dallin. Very solid performer against the best point guards in the country. He may not be flash, but he has

texaskevin

Apr 2, 1:43pm

Win/win for both parties, good Luck Dallin wish him the best!!

HeyU

Apr 2, 1:56pm

Quick timing good? If so, thank you Dallin! Not pulling a Gordon Hayward, thanks

HeyU

Apr 2, 2:02pm

About time

BYU4eVeR

Apr 2, 2:36pm

Would be awesome if Crawford changed his mind and stayed.

indocoug

Apr 2, 2:38pm

This means Demin is coming back! You heard it here first!

GoBYCougsGo

Apr 2, 3:01pm

Why I don't like this:

kjjson

Apr 2, 3:36pm

We'll miss his passing and playmaking abilities.

BigHouse Coug

Apr 2, 4:43pm

Re: 3) No, not for me. Once you transfer, you have a new school. Like when...

COACHdrn

Apr 2, 6:11pm

Don't get this... run it back! you're not going to the NBA

Hill4Heisman

Apr 2, 4:35pm

He could just be testing the waters once again or

BigHouse Coug

Apr 2, 4:45pm

Like a lot of players, Dallin‘s ego is bigger than his game

KYU

Apr 2, 6:13pm

You know nothing about him

CameronG

Apr 3, 10:27am

This was bound to happen…would’ve loved to have him as backup PG.
