Yo! First player win of Coach Jensen and staff…and IMO it’s a big win.

Well done, excited for continued momentum and follow on success.

KD is player retention priority #1.

I hope the new GM and coaching staff have time for KD retention efforts because player moves are already being made.

This is why we pulled the trigger before end of season. We got the right coach and he is putting together the right leadership team. However, they still have commitments to their previous employers, or at least AJ does.

If I understand it right, BYU’s roster size is significantly over the limit and they’re having to shed players. Doesn’t mean they can’t/won’t find a scholarship for talent.

Anyone know what our roster situation is? Proud is right, we need LB talent like this with Damuni leaving after this year.

Charlie, I like your posts and positive outlook. But really? Whitt committed QB malpractice the past 2 seasons (not his first offenses btw) and you want to chalk it up to bad luck?

We see this one differently.

[Yergensen]

First glance his offers aren’t impressive.

Closer look, Texas St was #5 in D1 offense in 2024. They know how to score points. They know under the radar players that will score points in their scheme.

JB also knows what players will shine in his scheme.

This could be good.

[Yergensen]

Yeah, I think personnel was transformative.

Whether it was Rising getting us into the right play at LOS or his making a play with his legs when plays broke down or TT’s elite vision it transformed Whitt and Ludwig’s predictability and conservatism into something more.

Do we really believe that in 2021-2022 Whitt and Ludwig schemed and playcalled that high red zone success rate when for years prior and since it was pretty mediocre? Or could it have been Rising, TT, Oline et al made the same old scheme and plays hum.

[Yergensen]

I hope the offense will be transformed, but I think you’re giving Whitt too much credit.

I’ll believe he has gotten out of his own way and the OC’s way when I see it. We will see it in scheme, we will see it in the “throw game”. True change specifically will be less predictable playcalling and game plan, increased WR use and targets, throwing vertically, attacking the edges, just simply getting the ball more to our playmakers.

If not, then we’ll know once again Whitt is in control and in the way.

[Yergensen]

Would you have limited Van Horn’s minutes? KVH was a warm body defensively. Seems a bit like cutting off nose to spite face.

KD was tops on the team all year in bpm or +\-. We outscored the competition the most with KD on the floor, both sides of it.

Can’t deny his scoring. Can’t deny his rebounding. Question his defense or defensive effort all you want. KD on the floor gave us the best chance to win games all year and that’s what matters.

[Yergensen]

Disagree, KD will score 8 pts a game if you play him 15 minutes a game like Smith did.

Play him 25 to 30 minutes and he’s a 16/12 guy, a walking double double. That’s not just a guy and that’s not easily replaceable.

[Yergensen]

Guillory is explosive, Bray is quick.

Guillory has a highlight or two where he waits for a hole behind his line and goes from almost standing to gone.

I think this is what Georgia, Ohio St, Texas et al see.

But, I think we saw an overlooked playmaker in Bray and stole him.

Both could be really good for us. Hope they stick with us and us with them.
