My sweet wife passed away from her battle with cancer today. I’d appreciate any extra prayers/thoughts if you’re able to send them my family’s way.

@bearforheisman @ByuSome Top 10-20 team by every overall metric with Richie. Add the depth from injuries and we’re solidly top 10 if not top 5.

@CoasterDevin @ByuSome The team was struggling bad with Richie though, I refuse to accept that that was the point our season went south

Good game. We really wasted the best player in basketball because our bigs are Downy soft and our guards can't shot a damn 3. Freaking embarrassing and pathetic, and I feel for AJ.

@bearforheisman @ByuSome You’re undervaluing them significantly and ignoring Richie. Plus the fact that 6(!) injuries is close to half a basketball roster, no depth is killer. These are incredible players, to insinuate otherwise is just flat out incorrect.

@CoasterDevin @ByuSome A lot of coaching in college basketball is roster building and if your roster building is so poor that you can’t withstand the losses of Dawson Baker and Nate Pickens maybe it’s time to reevaluate your strategy

@bearforheisman @ByuSome Unfortunately a team is more than a couple players, especially when playing top 5 teams. Even then we were competitive and had shots to win nearly all those games with a depleted roster. That’s GOOD coaching. Had everyone been healthy, I’d be with you.

@CoasterDevin @ByuSome I mean none of those teams except Iowa State were elite by any stretch, we brought in KY and AJ and Rob to beat Arizona and Houston and Kansas and UConn

@bearforheisman @ByuSome Wisconsin, Villanova, Miami, Clemson, Iowa State, Texas Tech? All tourney teams, most of those wins were before losing multiple guys to injury. It’s okay to be disappointed, you’re pointing your anger the wrong way. Sometimes things just don’t work out and you do what you can.

@CoasterDevin @ByuSome Kevin Young is getting paid a lot of money to win more than two big games a year, he was 0–5 in those games with Richie

@bearforheisman @ByuSome That’s credit to the coaching staff, not a ding.

@CoasterDevin @ByuSome I mean we beat Iowa State and Texas Tech and were competitive at Arizona and against Houston on a neutral court without him, the drop off really wasn’t as big as it should’ve been in theory

@bearforheisman @ByuSome Oh no! One game with 5 injuries!

@CoasterDevin @ByuSome Oklahoma State dropped 99 on us with Richie playing 37 minutes

@bearforheisman @ByuSome Losses to 4 top 15 teams (by 3 to #1) with just one of the 6 available is your issue? We got wrecked by UCF and Cincy after Richie goes down, we were competing with top 5 teams with him. Add Nate and Dawson and this team is exactly what was advertised.

@CoasterDevin @ByuSome Richie Saunders was fully healthy for all of this, Baker is decent but he’s a replaceable player, the other three we have no reason to believe are good

@bearforheisman @ByuSome They were not remotely the same lol

@CoasterDevin @ByuSome We lost three guys who were gonna be DNP most nights and a 7 point per game scorer and had a healthy Richie and the problems were the exact same

@bearforheisman @ByuSome Alongside Richie Saunders who would’ve been an all American and Dawson Baker who would’ve been one of the best 6th man’s in the country? With Nate backing up Rob and Xav/Brody getting development over Ahmed, absolutely. This is an insane take lol

@CoasterDevin @ByuSome So you honestly think Brody Kozlowski, Xavion Staton (who we saw play this year), and Nate Pickens are difference makers?

@ByuSome @bearforheisman Like I get being very disappointed, tough way to end with the best player in college this year, but this isn’t the team we had at the beginning of the year, just sucks when the pieces were there before uncontrollable happened!

@CoasterDevin @bearforheisman Yah, I realized he's completely clueless on basketball 😂

@bearforheisman @ByuSome Every single one

@CoasterDevin @ByuSome Which player assessment do you disagree with?

@bearforheisman @ByuSome This is almost worse than your other take 🤦🏼‍♂️ step away from basketball if this is what you think.

@CoasterDevin @ByuSome x.com/bearforheisman…

@bearforheisman @ByuSome With 6 season ending injuries, 3 to major role players or starters? No one in the world is doing anything with that, you can’t possibly blame that on a coaching staff, good grief.

@CoasterDevin @ByuSome You don’t get to bring in top level talent and lose in the first round to a play in team in a game where you trailed almost the entire time

@bearforheisman @ByuSome Get out of here with this bottom of the barrel garbage take

@ByuSome Next year is a prove it year for Kevin Young, I don’t know how many more years like this BYU fans are willing to tolerate

Refs refuse to call a foul when BYU is shooting to end this game

BYU can’t get a whistle to save their life

On this day in 2011, Jimmer Mania shocked everyone, dropping 34 points in a win over Gonzaga 🔥 #MarchMadness

@gatorsszn @karterb8 @churchballpod BYU players in the NBA is irrelevant for a new college coach. This is an NBA staff, we should probably ask how many players has this staff developed in the NBA. Which is a ton, including several superstars and AJ’s idol.

@karterb8 @churchballpod Name 3 BYU players in the nba
