Frank Jackson is a baller. TJ Haws had a bit of a rough game but I was very impressed with him during the halftime interview. Fun to watch some future cougs even though Lone Peak lost.

Craigo, if any of their games are ever televised can you post links? I think a lot of us would like to watch them play...

But you have to pay to view.

Yep, it's payperview, but it was worth watching Frank Jackson last night... the dude is a sophomore, but he's throwing down alley oops as a 6'1" guard... He's going to be very special. And of course TJ Haws hit a 40 foot (think Jimmer vs Utah) prayer to win the game last night. It's TJ and Frank and nothing else though.... Lone Peak will likely not win state. (American Fork, Bingham, Alta are all likely better because they have bigs)



Dalton Nixon of Orem will be such a nice luxury to have at the 4 when he's at the Y. He can shoot rebound and he's tough. He has zero help on his team... Looks to me like he's 6'8"+ now.



American Fork is really big and they're just killing teams on the boards. Ryan Andrus is better right now than Luke Worthington is right now... (And they're both better than Nate Austin was as a freshman, so we definitely are upgrading our big man depth).

Should Worthington give up bball and go to the Fball team? Looks like he has a better chance to get into the NFL.

Good thing re the upgrade, Bc Mika going mish will hurt this team. I really wonder if Rosé will ask LeBronson to come back. BYU basically has 3 bigs. KC is serviceable, but as this UMASS game is showing, Luke is just not ready this year. And when could trouble comes up Rose has to rely on Sharp at the four??? Ridiculous. Exactly why I predicted that Arose will have to bring back BK.

Maybe. Who knows what is his passion.

Wisconsin recruited him. He just does not have it in Bball.

Wait, Luke Worthington plays football? Position?

I think they said TE.

LW has more everything than Harward had. He can get up the floor and run. He needs development, but he has strong legs and base. GEt on a work out schedule and some PD from the Pope and he should turn out fine. Not Mika upside, but he expectedly looks like a freshman, not the 8th best frosh in the country like Mika. Let's not get greedy and expulsive.
