Pope's Assistants

Madsen may be going after some of the same assistants.

I'm sure he might have, but Jay Drew saying this week from an undisclosed source that Mark had gotten some more money from BYU for his assistants tells me that Madsen wouldn't have a chance if Pope wants them. That's kind of what I was saying, that if Madsen does name his assistants before Pope, if neither is Burgess or Fueger, then that indicates pretty certain that they will be named, hopefully shortly, as the new BYU assistants.



I think hearing too that Jake Toolson is coming back has more to do than just Pope. If he's got Pope, Burgess and Fueger here with him, that's got to make it more palatable. I'm just not sure what to do with the rumors that Nick is gone and that was part of Jake's issue. Total rumors, but starts to make a story that has a bit more weight to it. I hope not. I really want Nick back as well.

Boy, UVU has got to be hating BYU's guts. Talk about pillaging the nearest town!

Nick is gone? I haven't heard those rumors. Toolson sounds like an upgrade over Nick. While I would love it if Nick stays around, if he's done, I can live with that.

I hadn't heard anything about Nick leaving BYU.

There are some rumors out there that Nick Emery might enter the transfer portal, but as of Wednesday night the mercurial rising senior was not in it

Thanks, I had missed that.

Maybe he is going to Utah to play for Coach K? :lol:







Sorry....bad joke. I couldn't help it.
