Hopefully this means he is ready to come in and make an impact.

[Mars]

That's a lot of new guards!

[hawkwing]

I've heard that BYU is flirting with going positionless for some sets this year.

[BoiseBYU]

I've heard that BYU is flirting with going positionless for some sets this year.

Dang, I thought THAT was the main set last year....

[nuk13]

Hopefully this means he is ready to come in and make an impact.

He is listed at 250 pounds so he's only 210 now?

[Gunk]

Last season we had too many bigs. Complete opposite now. I'm curious as to how this season will go.

[Fido]

I think it is cool that BYU is not avoiding local teams in basketball--like other teams in-state sometimes do:

WED, Nov 1 Westminster
WED, Nov 29 @ Utah Valley
SAT, Dec 2 @ Utah State
SAT, Dec 9 Weber State (Vivint Smart Home Arena)
SAT, Dec 16 Utah
THU, Dec 21 Idaho State

Let's see if Nick Emery has put his divore behind him.
