    Here's a nice, late upgrade to the basketball schedule. They will move BYU-H from the first regular season game to become the second exhibition and BYU will open in Provo with Princeton instead. Princeton was 21-6 last year and #39 in the rpi. I'm guessing this becomes part of the ESPN 24 hour deal to open the season because it was rumored ESPN owed us a game at home for that because we went on the road to Long Beach State a couple of years ago.

    That is nice.

      Watched the boys practice. Nick looks sharp. Mika is the clear leader of the team. Davis is alternately amazing and horrible. Dastrup is big, very big, and surprisingly talented. Childs can finish any play with a dunk. Haws seemed distracted. Beo hit an incredibly deep 3. LJ was rehabbing. Aytes was limping but playing. Shaw looked surprisingly serviceable. Mostly just a conditioning practice but fun. I can't wait for the season.

        I feel badly for Aytes. To be cursed with recurrent injuries.

          I wonder what role Dastrup will play? I imagine that as the dust settles this year he will back up Mika and play more 5 but likely similar to the role that Isaac Neilson played before he transferred. My guess is when Dastrup is on the court the 4 will be the back to the basket post- let it be Davis, Childs or Aytes. I guess Dastrup could even be on the court with Mika and Mika could play some 4 as he is likely athletic enough to cover most opposing 4's. How the post develops this year will be more fun to watch than previous years.

          It is unfortunate that LJ Rose cannot stay healthy. With him healthy it could be a pretty fun year and give Haws a little more time to acclimate, get in shape etc. Having an experienced and reliable, albeit not a superstar caliber, player would make a difference - especially for the first two months.

          I think Shaw has a very bright future as possibly the best 3rd option at the 5 BYU has had in the Rose tenure.

                rumor is he had or is having surgery. torn meniscus, perhaps.

                  Not good. I hadn't heard.

                    I only heard it on a CB FO list, so not sure how accurate or if that's the reason he didn't get mentioned by K-dog.

                      If it is just a torn meniscus, it should be recoverable. But the guy is star-crossed with how many injuries he's suffered.

                        He wasn't there. I didn't ask. It didn't feel polite.

                        For Goat, TJ is in shape. Looks fast and fit. He had some weight on his mission he started losing before he got home and he is lean again. His recent wedding is probably the cause of his difficulties yesterday.

                          Bryant hasn't had many injuries that I know of. You probably mean LJ Rose. There was a rumor last week that Rose turned an ankle but it was minor and he should be ready to go by the time official practice starts on Monday.

                            weird comment. if something happened, it was recent and you probably wouldn't know about it yet.

                              I wouldn't call him star crossed yet for only one rumored injury though .
