Dybantsa’s replacement at BYU… 75%

Yup, I don’t have high hopes.

So maybe instead of throwing money at three or four mid portal guys, Pope could use that Rhodes Scholar brain of his and add a stud like Branch instead.

We lose Oweh, Aberdeen, and JQ at minimum after this year. That's at least $6 million in roster salary. Please don't tell me we're going to use that money to give this current crop of semi-losers a raise.

Let’s see what the roster will possibly look like:

Quaintance
Chandler
Garrison
Lowe
Williams
Johnson
Jelavic
Noah
Hawthorne
Dioubate
Moreno
Potter

That’s assuming we get every player back, which most likely won’t happen, but it definitely could. I would imagine JQ will be off to the draft, however, you never know. He might wanna come back and get a higher draft selection in a MUCH weaker draft. This coming draft will be one of the deepest in recent memory. I always thought that 2020 high school class was extremely deep and good. Nobody ever seems to talk about that class.

The issue with most of those guys is that they are who they are at this point. I could see Chandler making a slight leap. Certainly Hawthorne, Johnson, and Moreno. The rest of those guys minus JQ, are who they will always be. JQ could come back. That would be a game changer. Cut some of the excess baggage and invest that in a true stud.

Meh idk. Williams and Noah are only sophomores. They’ll almost assuredly get better. Both need to work on ball handling and lateral quickness. You’re likely right on the rest. Also, I think a healthy senior Lowe would be a top 5 PG, nationally.

Could we lose BG too if he doesn't show consistent effort and improvement? lol
