Stop being a bad influence on lds student athletes.

Well, I think I'm in the clear here, because he's not LDS.

He just comes to church with his girlfriend when she's in town.

Haws dribbles a bit like Zylstra at times but he's got game.

How tall is TJ? He looks a little on the 5'9"ish side. Could just be that he's standing next to a bunch of taller kids.

I can't believe people fall for that. It cracks me up every time though.

He's actually 6'2". I was in the same arena as him once, so I know.

I hope he has another growth spurt in him and fills out a bit.

Has he decided on a mission at 18 or is he going to play a year with big bro?

Who else is BYU going after now that Parker is out of the picture? That Sal T guy from SLCC? Anyone know?

LaComb said that they're just out there beating bushes right now and will wait for the spring signing period. He wouldn't elaborate on what position they're recruiting. I think at this point they're just going to go with the best player they can get.

They have to be looking for a low post guy that can come in and play solid D and average 10-12 points a game. We will have both Worthington and Mika next year to go along with Austin and Harward but I wouldn't put any faith in relying on a couple of freshman to manage the paint. Getting a BIG from some JC school who is looking to make an immediate impact could be a huge. Rose has a nice story to tell as our guard play and Haws will be really solid and he is simply looking for the last piece to make a big run in the tournament.

I agree that a JUCO big would be the best pick up for us. But I am unaware of anyone out there currently that can give you what you want. If we could get a big that isn't stiff that can give us double digit points I'd be ecstatic. I think Mika is going to get significant PT.

This year rode entirely on Matt Carlino. If Carlino plays well BYU is a solid NCAA team. If he doesn't, BYU is an NIT team. I don't see any tourney victories for this club, but time will tell.

Next year appears to me to ride entirely on Eric Mika. I don't see Nate Austin being able to play the 5 for BYU very well. I don't see Ian Harward being very good next year either. BYU's perimeter play will be good next year without any additions with starters of Carlino, Haws and Collinsworth. Delgado and Winder off the bench will be very solid for BYU next year, IMO. The post has 4 players in Austin, Sharp, Haward and Mika that are approaching average, and more accurately slightly below, at best. If Mika can play as well as a freshman as Davies was as a sophomore then I think BYU is in a position to win 1 or maybee two games next year in the tourney. If Mika is no better as a freshman than Davies was, BYU will top out with only one tourney win at max.

The biggest need is a proven post scorer and they are not going to get one of those from JC this late in the year. BYU's best hope, I think, for a competent post scorer next year is Eric Mika. However, I am interested in this Sai Tumalla as a recruit. He sounds to me like he could play both the 3 and the 4 in BYU's system. He is close in SLC and would be a decent JC pick up this late. I don't think he would be an impact player for BYU but I bet he would give BYU significant depth on both the perimeter and at the 4.

If BYU lands him this would be the roster:

Carlino - JR
Haws - JR
Collinsworth - SO
Winder - JR
Delgado - SR
Tumalla - SO or JR - not sure.
Mika - FR
Austin - JR
Ambrosino - SR
Sharp - JR
Harward - SO
Worthington - FR or RS

That leaves one more for whatever they can find. A young true PG such as Lamont Morgan might not be a bad pick up if they can find one.

The guys who would play would be Carlino, Collinsworth, Haws, Sharp, Mika, Austin, Winder, Delgado, Tumalla and Harward.
