Swish!Originally posted by smokymountainrain View Post
It sure seemed like Monday night BYU was moving the ball, driving and dishing, and getting better looks. But last night, they were spreading out, running that little weave thing they do with the screens up top, but then trying to play 1 on 1 ball. The drives all went for shots, passing was off.
Gonzaga is a good team. I'm sure they had something to do with it.
Maybe Seljiaas needs to go finish his mission now. He sure has had a rough season once they got into conference play. Time for a do-over.Comment

But didn't Yoeli continue shooting 100% from 3? How did we lose?!Originally posted by smokymountainrain View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

I've beat this drum before, but holding the roster together this offseason is going to be key to improving. I looked it up over the last several years. This season only 4 players who actually played were on the team last year. There are 13 scholarship players, so only bringing back 4-7 from the previous year, every year basically since Jimmer left is not going to give you good enough continuity.
Year by year here are the only players who played the previous year. I'm not including players who sat out the year injured. 2015 and 2013 had the most coming back (7). We got a 10 seed in the NCAA tournament in 2015, but that was when Collinsworth blew out his knee in the conference tournament.
2018 (likely NIT): Haws, Bryant, Childs, Dastrup
2017 (NIT): Aytes, Emery, Kaufusi, Shaw
2016 (NIT): Austin, Collinsworth, Fischer, Kaufusi, Toolson
2015 (NCAA): Bartley, Collinsworth, Halford, Tyler Haws, Sharp, Winder, Worthington
2014 (NCAA): Austin, Carlino, Tyler Haws, Sharp, Winder
2013: (NIT): Austin, Carlino, Cusick, Davies, Sharp, Winder, Zylstra
Let's just freaking hold the team together this offseason.Last edited by BlueK; 03-07-2018, 11:35 AM.Comment

I think we may be over by a scholarship or two next year, so there will probably still be some attrition. But if all the key pieces are back and the number coming back is at least 8-9, then I think we'll be ok.Originally posted by old_gregg View PostComment

Yoeli could have a crazy good year next season. So much potential.Originally posted by old_gregg View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

We probably won't have him for 4 years, but I just hope at least for next year. The NBA and its agent network seem to be trying to do whatever they can right now to entice kids to leave early -- probably more the agents than the league itself. But the expanded rosters with back and forth contracts between the NBA and G-league isn't going to do any favors to the college game. And the agents -- well, greed is strong motivator.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostLast edited by BlueK; 03-07-2018, 12:48 PM.Comment

Is anyone expecting Yoeli to leave school as a Junior? Unless he has a huge increase next year, I don't see him as an NBA prospect. He's listed at 6'8", which means he's more like 6'6". He doesn't have the speed or handles to play outside of the post, and he probably doesn't have the size to play in the post in the NBA.Originally posted by BlueK View Post
Then again, Eric Mika, so what do I know.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Eric Mika is playing low level Italian league ball. My fear is that the the model has changed now with the recent d-league/g league and expanded rosters thing. So players don't have to be a surefire NBA prospect to leave early anymore, which is bad for college basketball. Since I love college basketball and don't care that much about the NBA and don't care at all about minor league pro basketball, I hope I'm wrong.Originally posted by falafel View PostLast edited by BlueK; 03-07-2018, 01:35 PM.Comment
