No doubt about it. BYU was the biggest loser in this round of realignment, even more than Oregon St. and Waxhington St. because we were finally rid of the utes but now we have lost all the recruiting advantages that we would have gained. In addition, Utah will receive a full share and remain financi...

I'm disappointed but not surprised. The rumors of Wahlin transferring have been circulating for months. Pope has not endeared himself to the Timpview crowd: Ereckson, Hansen, and Wahlin have all transferred. One of the criticisms of Dave Rose is that he didn't recruit too far from Utah and Idaho.Tth...

One of the biggest concerns that I have about Mark Pope as head coach is whether he has a vision for how to build a program rather than just using the transfer portal as a year-to-year hope. My concern is elevated once again with rumors that I have heard from Jake Hatch on his podcast and read on Tw...

Waterman or Steward may be on the way out. Robbie mentioned that BYU is not finished recruiting so that means at least one scholarship will need to be freed up.

I'm interested in seeing where Steven Ashworth and Dawson Baker end up. Both seem like natural fits for BYU; but having been spurned in the past, they may not look favorably upon the BYU coaching staff.

I was just continuing the joke.

Actually the Deseret News just announced his verbal to BYU this evening. So the April Fools posting must have been an omen of truth. Basketball season is looking up!

As he should be. This season has been a disaster. Problems that were evident in preseason have not been corrected 30 games later. The team can no longer use the young and experience excuse. Steve Pierce, one of the Internet gurus of BYU basketball (meaning he follows the team a lot closer than I) sp...

Not that it'll will happen after this season or even next, but who are the early candidates to replace Mark Pope besides Mark Madsen? In addition, I keep hearing that Pope swung for the stars and missed last summer. That's certainly true with Antoine Davis, but two of his perceived biggest misses we...

I'm very disappointed in this season as well. I think Pope gets at least two years in the Big 12. But his recruiting, development of players, and in game coaching are lacking. Turnovers and poor three-point shooting have been poor since the blue and white game and don't show a lot--if any--improveme...
