Charlotte Transfer Aly Khalifa Commits to BYU He wasn't on the original list, but Aly Kkalifa is a very good get. He's 6-11 so immediately that's a plus just in of itself. Listed at 6-foot-11 and 230 pounds, Khalifa is a versatile stretch big man. He was one of the top players for a 49ers team that...

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! https://www.deseret.com/2023/3/15/23640998/2023-utah-college-basketball-transfer-portal-tracker Unless you're just in on the joke and...

What do you all think about Hans Olsen replacing Riley Nelson to do radio football games with Greg Wrubell? I don't listen to sports talk radio so I've never listened to Hans before. Is he good? Could we have done better? What are your thoughts?

I know you posted this a while ago, but I just barely watched this and it is great!

Yeah, but Pope would have to leave or be fired first so Madsen would have to wait. I do wonder how things would have turned out if Madsen had been hired instead of Pope. I think Pope previously being an assistant at BYU made him a shoe-in. Plus Pope did do well at UVU while Madsen had yet to coach a...

Two VTF articles: Marquette Forward Keeyan Itejere is in the Transfer Portal — Will BYU Pursue? Potential BYU Basketball Transfer Targets Marquette forward Keeyan Itejere is LDS and has entered the transfer portal. He's supposedly very athletic, but also very raw. But he's 6-9 so I kinda think we ha...

I think that I'd give Pope a C- on the season. The only saving grace from a D+ was winning against a higher seed in the WCC tournament. Although one could argue that being a 5 seed warrants a low grade...

Really good article from Vanquish The Foe about reviewing Mark Pope's first 4 years. The author essentially does everything that I did in an earlier post. Here are a couple things that stood out to me: Since Mark Pope joined BYU, the level of LDS talent isn’t the same. Collin Chandler is really elit...

I'm assuming that BYU's basketball season is over. Out of the WCC tournament. At least they won a game against a higher seed (LMU). I know Gonzaga is a juggernaut, but it is still disappointing that in 12 years in the WCC BYU didn't win a regular season championship or conference tournament. We've h...

BYU got off to a horrible start against SMC and made a valiant effort towards the end, but it was too little too late. SMC is a good defensive team, but BYU really struggled finding good shots all game long. The refs called a T and a Flag 1 that both should have just been a common foul...Saunders ha...
