    2019-2020 BYU Cougars basketball

    Since we last waxed eloquent about hoops things have changed:

    1.) Gavin Baxter is out for the year. I think this pretty much kills our final 4 chances to I am ratcheting down my expectations for this upcoming year.

    2.) Alex Barcello is eligible to play immediately. I understand while his experience at Arizona was not a great success, but wasn't he reputed to be fairly athletic? Could he become BYU's best perimeter defender and best hope at a lockdown perimeter defender? I think TJ Haws plays better when he dominates the ball so I don't know how things are going to mesh with the "pass first" PG Barcello, but we get to find out soon.

    3.) I still don't think Dalton Nixon is the MVP.

    4.) I think if we ever wondered about Kolby Lee, all those questions will be answered within a couple of months. I am guessing not a lot of people ever wonder at all about Kolby Lee.

    I plan to be there on the 5th of November to usher in the new Pope against the Cal-State Fullerton Titans, who happen to be the first team I witnessed a BYU basketball team play against in person! Here is to hoping BYU is as tough on the Titans as were Trumbo, Roberts and Kite in the first sans Ainge year.

    Given the depth issues at 5 this'll be his best shot at MVP.

          It's possible that Lee could have become an above average athlete in the last seven months, but I'm skeptical.

            I'm just excited to see more of his running gait.

              I've lowered my expectations for this year, considerably and am giving Pope a pass given the plethora of bad luck he's been dealt. If he can make anything out of these players and this team, he deserves some sort of coaching award.

                Word from my source: The Arizona transfer is awesome and will make a big impact, Toolson will be our best 3-point shooter since Jimmer, Pope has Haws playing in-system and under control, the MVP is going to start and play big minutes until Yoeli returns.

                  Pope seems to have everyone playing with good energy for the exhibition. It stinks that Baxter is out.

                      Knell is a shooter. Loved seeing that.

                      Lee has a hook shot, but that's about it. Dude does not go hard at the rim

                          Hopefully he doesn't see the floor very often except in mop-up duty.

                          Not usually an issue for a NSot208.
