There are 11 Collinsworth threads and who knows how many mentions of KC in other threads so forgive me if this has been discussed. I was talking to a family member who teaches and coaches at Provo HS who said Kyle is a terrible free throw shooter. In fact they swore he had a 60 min class everyday his senior year where all he did was shoot FT's as some asst coach rebounded for him. I've only seen him play once and don't recall anything about his FT shooting. He has a nice enough shot that any difficulties he has from the line are purely mental. Hopefully he is more Jimmer and less post-finals Nick Anderson in coming years.

Although, it is interesting to see that whatever school is getting the most of these signed is the one that is doing the best. Its all about recruiting.
Also I couldn't tell you one thing about Justin Weidauer, he must not have been very good.Get confident, stupid

That's KC's second triple double. I looked up stats. NCAA record for most triple doubles in a season is four: Jason Kidd tied with a few others. Most in a career is six, Shaq tied with one other. I expect KC to break those records. Triple double in college is extremely rare, and very difficult to do. If you toss his first game this season, where he just made an appearance, he's averaging 14 points, 8 rebs, 6 assists. Damn.
KC is different than a lot of BYU stars (looking at you Tyler Haws) in that his strength is athleticism and weakness is skill. Most BYU stars are the opposite, so their ceiling is capped a bit, and they reach their potential earlier. You can improve your skill but not your athleticism. I'd like to see KC defend a little better--he stands too straight up but that might be a conditioning factor. And I'd like to see him become a threat with his outside shot. If he does those two things, he'll be an NBA starter someday.
It's too bad KC doesn't have a good scoring big man to dish to. He'd be close to averaging a triple double if he did.

Granted, most bigs play those positions to and don't rebound like KC. He's a great rebounder.

I've never understood why in the NBA being long, white and athletic is only desirable if you're from Europe."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
