Richie Saunders on Campus
- Thread starter LXWildcat
- Start date
A nice big guard who shot 37% from 3 last year. Would be a quality depth piece.
Not a shabby role player. 6-5 guard. Shot 62/177 from three-point range combined first two collegiate years. Just make 35%, that’s all I ask.
Would be decent depth piece. Not all portal players will start so we need decent depth.
Bring him on.
Bring him on.
Scored 20 vs Iowa State last year, with a few other nice games sprinkled in.
Sounds like we should be getting a few guys early this coming week. Good, we need it. Get the core down and fill in the gaps where needed.
Need quality guys willing to play 10-15 mpg. Seems good enough for that.
“How can you not love Richie Saunders, right? We say (this) about (several) guys, but he literally only knows one speed,” coach Mark Pope said. “He can’t slow it down. He can’t turn it off. Like, he is really special. You talk about a guy that vomits his whole heart and soul on the floor every single game. That’s pretty cool.
“There is no coach in America that would not do anything they could to get Richie Saunders on their roster,” Pope continued. “You know exactly what you are getting intensity and energy-wise every single game. ... To have a guy with that motor that is that constant and never goes away is pretty special.”

I've heard about Osobor committing "soon." Who all have you heard? Small and Brea fell off the grid as far as I can tell.
Not sure Small was ever on our list if what he's asking for in NIL is an indicator.
Brea I’m not sure about yet , I’m waiting to actually see something concrete about him, small not committing is interesting
Good role player. Great piece to add.
Perry, Chandler, and Saunders give us our backcourt reserves and they won’t scare off the star portal players we need as starters.

I would love to add Brea.
I always heard Dick Weiss was a pretty good source.
Saunders was the spark off the bench for BYU. Scored in double figures 16 times last season. Watch his video's, he plays super hard all the time and is a physical player. Can get to the basket and hit tough shots also. Shot about 50% last season and rebounds well, think it was around 4 a game? At 6-5, he is strong going to the rim and can finish. Has two years left to play. Is married, so a really mature person. Looks like he would be a big get for us with all the things he offers. How many players play that hard, with that much heart and produces?
Solid depth piece. Damn Doubled his production from year 1 to 2.
5.5 -> 9.6 pts
2.4-> 4.1 rebs

I really like Richie and think he’d be a great bench addition. While he’ll be a junior next year, you have to remember he’s older due to serving a two year mission. To further illustrate this he’s already married to a former BYU player. Seems to be really mature and have a great personality off the court. Has shown success(and comfort) with being a bench player his career. He also probably saves us on our NIL budget.
I think he’s getting that from the FAU kid, but who knows
Only one of the greatest hoops reporters of all time.
Cmon folks. Jones doesn't own the info world.
I’m only 22 so I’ve never heard of him
Per another thread on here Dick Weiss is a national award winning journalist so I would think it is doubtful his source is the FAU kid.
How confident are you, JPF, about the Osobor info ? I sure hope we get him. I think he's a near-perfect compliment to Amari Williams. And I also REALLY like that some posters on this board have referred to Osobor as "a bigger Chuck Hayes" ! ! !
Is Dick Weiss legit.. lol. He spelled recruiting knowledge before half this board knew how to ride a bike. He's more than legit. His name is widely known as Dick "Hoops" Weiss.
Hope he does land him,
Read a story on him where he set up gumball machines, filled them full of birdseed and fed all the ducks around BYU campus lol
One could say he’s lacking on balls, but he’s solid, Dick Weiss.
Here you go. I promise he's a legend.
Hopeful for him, Robinson and Waterman if he has any eligibility left.
We need quality depth. His stats look solid, but I have not seen him play. Would like to look up some highlights to get a feel for his game.
Would love for him to join regardless of what his tape looks like though. He’s the type of player that won’t scare away any players looking for starter roles but good enough to contribute. We are in need of role players just as much as we are starters right now.

I have no reason to doubt the guy from Twitter. He's come onto the scene recently and was in on Pope's hiring and Amari's commitment before anyone else I saw.
Isn't that the same intel folks were running with from that kid on Twitter? I genuinely don't know.
Yup that dude has been spot on with a lot of info
I’m guessing, it hard now to figure out who is legit and who isn’t
I kinda like how pope is getting the role players first then waiting in the big time players
Pope's first coaches show next year needs to start with a call saying ............
Is Richie gonna start tonight
