Next Transfer in?

I'm happy Cougar Corner came back on. I thought we'd lost it.



I'm still hoping Wade overcomes his injury and becomes the point guard.

CougarCorner was a bit like the Basketball team, down but not out. We experienced our 1-25 season, now it's on to the NCAAs.

Haha! Thanks for keeping the place running, Hawkwing.

Now back to who will be the next transfer to the Y. We missed on McCluge. next target is Daivien Williamson who will decide this weekend. Wake Forest will be hard to beat.

He chose Wake Forest.

Latest targets.

Averette had 3 assists per game. If he comes I hope that goes up.



I just read that Jesse Wade is hiking the Y Mountain and his knee is responding. If he gets that knee back he will be hard to beat as our point guard.

I hope he can play. I like Barcello, but I'm worried about the PG position.

Sources have ... indicated that Lohner has asked to be released in order to join the BYU basketball program to play for Mark Pope. With his father being a former BYU basketball player himself, there are relationships and ties to the program.



It's unclear whether or not Utah will release him from his LOI. Regardless of that, it sounds like Lohner and his camp would apply to the NCAA for a waiver.



He committed to Utah last November, but apparently has had a change of heart.

My guess is Utah doesn't grant the release because they're led by an angry, petty, and vindictive coach.

Good guess I'd say. So if Utah does not release him from his LOI, does he have to sit out a year like the transfers do (he hasn't been on campus at all yet) or would he just have to pay his own way as a walk-on for a year because BYU doesn't have his scholarship rights? I'm not versed in the rules to this level.

Yes and because of that he might go JC for the first year.
