There's no way BYU wins the WCC this year.

I'll take that bet. BYU makes the tourney. We are going to have a good team this year. We went from having one of the least returning starter's minutes team in the country, to one of the most.

On top of that, we win the WCC this year.

Like how Nick Emery took a step forward?
I heard rumors that Nick got a divorce. Anyone else hear that? If true, it could explain his poor and inconsistent play last year.

He certainly got worse when he got married.

Seriously, though, BYU/Rose doesn't have the best track record when it comes to players making dramatic improvement.

Exactly what I was thinking.
Hoping they BOTH make some big strides this year. Maybe Mika was holding them back?

If we're going small we need to figure out how to shoot the 3 ball and how to defend it.

Man this is a downer of the thread.

Here are a few reasons for optimism:

1. TJ Haws averaged was our second best player last year. He should take a leap forward with a full offseason of training.

2.Our other best returning player Childs was a freshman as well. He should take a major step forward.

3. Seljaas is back as well. He will provide some needed wing defense and of course even more shooting.

4. Think about trying to defend our team. I expect us to go small to finish games with a Haws, Emery, Bryant, Seljaas and Childs team. We are going to be a very good offensive team.

Pitino fired now. Auburn, Miami, USC, and Oklahoma State also mentioned as schools of interest.

More coaches will lose their jobs and there will be a shuffle of players. There will be fewer super teams filled with 5 star recruits.

I doubt, though, it will affect BYU all that much. We still have to beat St. Mary's and Gonzaga. Two schools that I highly doubt are affected by this scandal.

NCAA needs to get rid of the 1 year requirement. I'm not a fan of paying players. Let the players good enough to be paid to play go play professional hoops.
