2011-2012 BYU Basketball Thread

The ninth place team in the Big East won the National Championship. That's like if Utah would have won it. CB looks like an idiot saying the Big East is weak and had to many invitations. Notice how quiet he's been about it.

CB's never been quiet about anything. If asked I'm sure he'd just suggest he was right about the other 10.

Why would a kid sign with Hawaii and not BYU?

Because Gib Arnold really is a fantastic recruiter. Gib is going to do very good things at Hawaii. I don't think there is any shame in losing out on a recruiter to Hawaii as long as Gib is the coach.

Any word on hiring Rice's replacement? It seems like this is taking a long time and the longer it takes the less likely it seems that my hopes of it being Mike Hall will come true.

It won't be Mike Hall. Mike has a long coaching ladder to climb still and Rice leaving left a high level assistant hole with no one to step up into it. If it is Hall, it's because we have been rejected.

Any realistic ideas with who BYU is looking at to replace Rice?

I've heard Bill Walton is really interested in working w/ our bigs, the loss of Big Game James has apparently hurt us a little.

Gonzaga's starting PG Demetri Goodson is transferring to play football. David Stockton may get the starting job now.

wow Stockton is not very good at all. I would think that an incoming freshman could compete for the starting gig.

They're saying that their recruit Kevin Pangos from Canada could challenge for it as well. He's rated 4 stars, 92 by ESPN. 3 stars elsewhere.

I bet he gets it because Stockton is not good.

I bet pound for pound Stockton is the best point guard on their team.

What I've heard doesn't make sense so I'm discounting it. I just dont' see how adding another young coach makes sense. I think they are more likely to hire Roger Reid and Roger is more likely to come back than the nonsense I have heard.

I laughed. Not only pound for pound, but undoubtedly Gonzaga's best true point guard.

I thought Gonzaga was better with Stockton in the game than Goodson. That said, Goodson sucks. Football is a good idea for him.

I didn't realize his older brother is RB Mike Goodson.

no mention of the hire of Pope as the new assistant? Thoughts?
