    Gwath is still pretty raw on the offensive end, but man, the upside is pretty wild, and he'd be a lethal defender. I haven't watched a ton of his film, but I think he could be that bouncy type at the four Will talks about so often.
    Agreed. I'm hopeful Moreno has four guys in front of him when it comes to the 4 and 5 spots. I'm not sure he'll be physically ready to play 10-15 minutes a game as a backup 4 or 5 should be able to, but his length and athleticism might shock us.

        I read an article about that guy a couple months ago. Can’t remember his name. Fairly young guy. Really investing in the Utah sports scene.

          Not directly, from what I’ve read, but he funnels a lot of money to BYU through various channels.

              Where are you seeing this? If he comes back, and we add Demary with Williams, there really aren't very many spots left on the roster.

                KENTUCKYHOOPS posted it on X.......if it's not true I will delete it

                Apparently he told reporters after the Tennessee loss that he was returning

                          You don’t understand NIL?

                          I think it’s obvious, some players are going to go wherever they can get the most money. I am not saying this is the case with this player, but it 100% is the case with some players.

                          Its not cut and dry. Used to be starting, playing time, school, coach, exposure on tv, and other things.

                          USCjr might have blown a big chunk of their NIL budget, no idea 🤷‍♂️

                            Oh I understand NIL..but looking at a situation with older eyes also has something to do with it. The NIL is a payday for kids sure but they can still use it to set themselves up for a career after college also. Playing in the NBA, G league, Overseas, certain teams help with exposure developing skill sets etc.

                            Again some of this kids may just be looking at how much can you pay me now instead of longer term.

                            Personally not a fan of the way the NCAA went from absolutely nothing for these kids to opening it up to the highest bidder with no limits on anyone. Talk about a pendulum swing

                              Aren't we allowed 15n scholarships next year?

                                I believe Danny Ainge is also involved.
