I think the bigger problem was conference affiliation.

Nobody cares about the mountain west or WCC

It seemed like Nike and BYU football have been tight for a very long time and basketball was along for the ride.

  • WRONG, Leon Bond III will start, Bully will come off the bench.

That’s actually a good comp, complete with some turnover issues.

The difference is, his only offers were St Marys, and weirdly enough A&M.

ISU recruited him but ulitmately didn’t offer. Back in March during NCAA tourney interviews, Jeff said he wanted to go to ISU originally, but it just didn’t work out at the time.

It was likely due to his lack of explosive athelticsm, and he also struggled with weight a little bit. He slimmed down significantly his senior year and it helped him, but that still wasn’t really his game.

Yeah
 Luka probably lacks in explosive athleticism but he’s one of the best players in the world


I’ll be following Josh-Jeff inthe NBA

Oh no doubt! It’s ulitmately a game of skill and feel for the game for everyone at some point, even for guys who are explosive to start with.

If nothing else, age is undefeated. My bday a few days ago served as a helpful reminder of this. (Unless you’re @Kyle_Be_Coogin in pick up games!)

But I do have high basketball IQ and I always rebound and play defense

The small town I am in had a 3 on 3 basketball tourney as part as the Fourth of July week celebration. I played last night.

I am feeling my age. Holy sore.

In my opinion 3-on-3 is just as good of, or maybe even more, of a workout than full court 5-on-5

I play amateur baseball, workout regularly, and still I went to an adventure park with my daughter last weekend in Branson and I felt old trying to get through those tight spaces. I especially didn’t like having my knees touch anything.
