I have to admit, even seeing Jimmer his freshman and soph years I was not convinced he could be a great college player and I gave him no chance at the NBA. The AZ game his Junior year changed my mind dramatically. I don't believe I've ever had a single game alter my perception of a player more than that game. Reilly is just one of a long list of people who were wrong about a kid who doesn't look like a basketball player. -
The Slam Magazine article I linked above said the same thing. Interestingly, Coach Rose admitted the same.Originally posted by KillerDog View Post
But then Fredette and the Cougars took a December 28 trip to Tucson. By the time they returned, everything would be different.
“The night he got 49 his junior year at the McKale Center in Arizona, that discussion in the locker room with our coaches and the next day in the coaches’ meeting, everything changed,” Rose says. “We said, Let’s make sure we take advantage of this guy while we have him.”
The McKale Center opened in 1973 and the Arizona Wildcats had won a National Title and been to 28 NCAA Tournaments since, but no player had ever scored more points there in a single game than the visiting Fredette.

Wedding date on June 1, I suppose that was chosen after he was drafted by the Kings. One of the benefits of playing for a crappy teams, you get to plan your early summer vacations in advance.Comment

Good on reilly for paying up already. I thought for sure he would have waited until he started a regular season game. Othyeus jeffers or whatever the hell his name was started a preseason game for crying out loud.So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.Comment

Shouldn't this thread be moved to The Sports Bar now? The Jimmer legacy now transcends the college game.Last edited by USUC; 12-22-2011, 05:48 PM.Comment

BYU highlight dvd "Amazing" is pretty amazing. Fun to relive last season and I think it was very well done. The tackled the Davies issue head on with a few comments from Brandon directly. Only thing I wish was that they had more game highlights I have to think with byutv his next season will have more. Made me really miss Jimmer.
Funny part they show a SDSU fan holding a sign that says "WCC, LOL!" I would love to ask him how he feels about the Big West.*Banned*Comment
