Yoeli Childs - Is he going?

[Brayden Green]

.... to Chipotle?

Unless he is planning on getting a Visa or slumming it in the reformed G league for a couple years his best option is to stay. The NBA isnt pining for undersized 4s who had an above average year in a conference not known for big men, whose teams got bounced in the first round of a conference championship.

But hiring a coach just for the prospect of keeping a single player is really putting the cart before the horse

We've seen that fact come about when Frank Jackson's high school coach, Quincy Lewis, was hired out of Lone Peak. I'm sure I wasn't the only one out there thinking that maybe...

Anyone surprised by this?

Best of luck, Yeoli. Thanks for the effort and good games.

Not to read too much into things, but no thanks for Rose? Just LaComb.

I don't think that's reading too much into things. I think that's written on the wall.

Thanking the coach who recruited him....I don't read it as if he didn't mention you he didn't like you. But to each their own.
Good luck to him. If he is hiring an agent he must be confident in his prospects to the point he is closing the door behind him.

It's time for the Baxter hype train!!

Here's what Rose had to say yesterday about the annual end-of-year early departures and transfers:



This complacency (in all aspects of his coaching) is why he had to go.

Well, at least we're getting used to dealing with this every season. Until BYU somehow finds a way to back-fill on a significant level, this looks to continue and is going to make it very hard to get to where we used to be. That sounds negative, but that's exactly what Chris Miles said in the last month on ESPN960.

I understand the why, but these players have really taken some of the fun out of college sports. They have that right, but it's the truth that it sucks for us fans. It seems the way for us to have success is to get a passel of good, but not great players and exceed their expectations.
