Post-Jimmer

Thank goodness for the Oklahoma City Thunder, you know?

@For3JT Nah. Having expectations and falling short >>> having no expectations because you’ve been ass for a decade

Utah fans go ahead and mock us and pick on us. 💯 valid. BYU ought to be quiet, take it and that’s it.

@clintcarlos We got guys from the portal. Some of them got hurt, some were good, some were not. Evals are alway the key, and they’re really hard to do in that compressed portal timeline. You’re going to miss sometimes.

@PostJimmer Yeah, feels like the portal was a missed opportunity for us this year on top of the injuries.

I feel very confident that BYU will have many better teams than this one. But it will likely never have a better player than AJ Dybantsa. Generational talent. A true privilege to get to see him suit up for my school.

@clintcarlos Almost none of those guys stayed at one school for 3 or 4 years. Those days are gone. They’re never coming back. The new model is to get elite talent out of HS if you can and otherwise pull older talent from the portal. But you have to hit on your evals. Easier said than done.

True it’s the era of the 1 and done superstar….but look at the Big12 first team selections…very few freshmen. Jimmer is our best example…didn’t break out til his Jr/Sr campaigns …I’d say Jimmer was a better college player than AJ even though AJ will be better in the NBA. That should be our archetype…develop guys over a few years to complement our 5-star freshmen that we will keep recruiting.

@cougjazzstan He had a 57% true shooting percentage and a 2:1 assist to turnover ratio 🤣 but go off, king

@PostJimmer I don’t need an inefficient, turnover prone, undersized guard to muck things up. He was a real disappointment this season. Sorry if you disagree.

If your take on this season is “Rob Wright, our all-Big 12 point guard, was awful all year,” maybe log off for a bit.

@utesfann99 Lol they didn’t even spend half of that

@PostJimmer Sooo…. What did the 34.7 mill get you this year…?

For the millionth time: BYU getting AJ Dybantsa was never just about this year.

@utesfann99 You’re right, it’s been so long since BYU made the Sweet 16. It’s really painful for me. *checks notes* Oh right, that was last year.

@PostJimmer 32 million and NBA coach and the best college player for a first round loss. For a fan base who said they were sweet 16 bound 😭😂

@clintcarlos What year do you think we live in?

BYU may never have a freshman as talented as AJ but if we can keep some guys around for 3-4 years, I’m confident we will see more productive seasons from guys in the future. This is the big difference for the teams that consistently play at top 5 level… continuity, juniors and seniors still contributing.

There’s a hilarious number of Utes gloating in my mentions, considering their team won two conference games and hasn’t made the tournament in a decade.

@BeardownBenson 100%. If you thought BYU lost tonight because of AJ Dybantsa, I’ll pay for you to get your brain checked. 🤣

@PostJimmer POY, right??

@utesfann99 Do you have a GIF for “only won 2 conference games and haven’t made the tournament in a decade”? I’ll take one of those please.

@PostJimmer Without Dybantsa, we don't get Bruce Branch. We needed a pioneer and Dybantsa was the perfect player. We have an NBA pipeline engaged. Now we need to surround these 1 and done players with better talent.

@jazzutefan0724 Sure, as a senior. If AJ stayed at BYU for 4 years, he’d likely average 40 as a senior.

@PostJimmer As great as AJ is, he’s not The Jimmer. Fredette was the best to ever do it in Provo. Not debatable.

If this ends up being the last 20 minutes we get of AJ Dybantsa in a BYU jersey, it has been an amazing experience. Regardless of any other shortcomings of this team, he has 100% delivered in every way possible. BYU legend forever.

@cougjazzstan For sure. Think they thought Xavion could be that extra big. Clear misevaluation. That said, think it was still fine until Keba just inexplicably became a different player halfway through the year.

@PostJimmer You’re right, kinda. We needed a big tonight super bad. That dude should have been on the roster before the Villanova game. The injuries doomed us, yes. But the roster construction was bad even before that. I hope KY learns and we can have a better year next season.

I understand BYU fans are disappointed. We all are. But you also need to grasp that this was never supposed to be the team. This team was supposed to have Richie, Dawson and Nate. Got a bunch of bad injury luck and could never fully overcome it. It’s frustrating, but it happens.

@solofeat I see several guys capable of knocking down open 3s for a team that shot 4/22!

@PostJimmer I don't see any bigs on that injury list that know how to box out and not disappear for an entire half in the biggest game of the year ...

@mr_queso_man None of those were plays he drew up lol that’s just players trying to make plays

@PostJimmer KY continues to disappoint in late game situations.

AJ not getting a shot on any of these possessions is unconscionable.

@doubleg2525 Utah hasn’t even made it the first round in a decade.

@PostJimmer Amazing? A first round tourney exit? LOL
