If that were true why would Rose offer him a scholarship?

Why was Rashaun Broadus? Or Michael Loyd Jr.? I may be wrong, but it happens.

True, but I'm still curious as to why you believe that.

I don't always judge others, but when I do it's based on their twitter accounts (whether that's cursing, talk of sex, drinking, tattoos, late night parties with loose women, eating at Rancheritos, whatever).

It looks like 2016-2017 is loaded. It will be interesting to see how things shape up. I think that Mika (if he's still around) will be an absolute beast.

Wyatt Lowel - Class of 2016

6-9/220; Freshment

Gilbert Valley, H.S., Gilbert, AZ

Can shoot the 3, has great ball handling skills and is a good passer. Is attending BYU camps and Rose is quite aware of him. Would be a good get to supplement our team.

I noticed this comment from 2011 in this thread.



Apparently the answer is yes... Harward, Delgado, Ambrosino...



this year they have to figure out something, we have 14 players next year planning to be on campus and we still have another scholarship out to another 6'9" big man

Who's the 6'9" big man we have an offer out to? Christian Musoku? I wonder if this offer is out there cause Aytes might not be around next year? I hear Musoku would be a MASSIVE project but he's one heck of an athlete. Have you heard of Justin Hamson?? I believe he's a 7' guy on a mission who is Jennifer Hamson's brother

He's 7' 3" but no basketball in his future.

I've read that he had corrective back surgery before leaving on his mission and "could" be quite the baller when he returns according to some guys on TBS. Hard to think about not taking another chance on a 7'3" member the Hamson family. Do you know who the 6'9" guy might be?

This post was from 2013. It's been a long time coming. I'm excited and I think we'll be very good. I think for many it's hard to fully process what the upgrade in talent for this season means. The team will be young, but still really good. Can't wait for it to start.



I love how when told how excited the fans are that Rose has said he's even more excited than the fans.

Rose's recruiting. Does anyone else see kind of a hole right before and at the beginning of the transition to the WCC? Keep in mind because of missions that the effect of recruiting classes is usually 2-3 years delayed for us. The quality picked up in a big way after 2012 and the delay means we're just starting to see the result. I don't think 8-9 games into this is time to panic yet. Certainly the Colorado game was encouraging because I think Haws at least seemed to have found the right mental formula moving forward. We'll see how the Illinois game goes.

A couple of recruiting classes in a row that really didn't work out at all. With missions, we're just coming out of the result of it and just barely starting to benefit from the very good classes of 2013-2016. We'll see what happens this Saturday, but after a rough start I really think Haws' improvement over the last 2-3 games is a very good sign that we will still be good this year.

Quick look ahead to the 2017-18 basketball roster:



OUT (Opens 2 scholarship spots)

F Kyle Davis (graduation)

G L.J. Rose (graduation)



Returning players

Jamal Aytes F Senior

Steven Beo G Sophomore

Elijah Bryant G Junior

Yoeli Childs F Sophomore

Payton Dastrup F Sophomore

Nick Emery G Junior

Zach Frampton G Sophomore (walk-on)

Davin Guinn F Senior

TJ Haws G Sophomore

Corbin Kaufusi C Senior (football scholarship)

Colby Leifson G Sophomore

Eric Mika F Junior

Braiden Shaw F Junior



Returning from missions

Ryan Andrus F/C Sophomore

Dalton Nixon F/C Sophomore

Luke Worthington F/C Junior



Potential incoming freshman (verbal commit)

Christian PoPoola, Jr. G Freshman



With potentially 4 players joining next year's team and only 2 scholarship players leaving there will again be a scholarship crunch. There has also been talk of looking for a JC transfer so it can only be assumed there will be some more defections from this list.

There are rumors that there are some unhappy players (possibly even main starters) who may be looking to transfer. I don't know how legitimate those rumors are, but it seems like there could be a little smoke.

Good. Let's continue the tactic of losing players each off-season due to transfers. That's been a big problem the last several years that is starting to catch up with us big time.

If that's the case, ROse needs to reign em in or cleanse the inner vessel. I think he's lost the team a bit since Jimmer graduated.

Criddle and Mikeli Wesley were talking on the other day about how the team doesn't really have any stand-out recruiting prospects lined up for the next two years because no one wants to come play where the lineup is set and the coaches have run off other players who are now starting at D1 schools to get the current line-up on the floor. The coaches have created the perception that this lineup was set in stone three years ago and is set for at least the next two.



If you're a PG, you don't want to come and back up TJ Haws for three years if you think you can go somewhere else and start right away.



Same for a SG, you don't want to come and back up Nick Emery or Elijah Bryant Haws for two years before you get a fair shot at a starting role.



Same for a PF, you don't want to come and back up Bryant for three years.



And certainly the same for a C, you don't want to come and back up Mika for two years.



What kid who thinks he's good enough to start on a D1 team is going to be excited about coming to BYU the next two years except for blue-goggled lifers when everyone wants to come and start from Day 1?



No one. The only boost I really see is Dalton Nixon, but he's either got to be 6th man or Rose is going to have to demote one of the Flawless Five to get him on the floor, and there's nothing to indicate (even going back to when they were recruited) that Rose would take that step with his golden children.

Sounds like he already lost several players if he's got concerns about who wants to be here and work hard.



Sounds like several don't want to be here and don't want to work hard.
