The Toolsons are true blue Cougs. The only thing that might make him lean somewhere else is that Conner was ignored by BYU until right before signing at UVU. The bad news is that it was Pope that convinced Conner to go to UVU and Pope and Conner had a very good relationship. Hope I am wrong but I will be surprised if he is not headed to BYU P.
His cousin Crew Ainge went here and wasn't Jake Toolson friends with Sam Merrill.

Is BYU just offering all grad transfers, or do people actually think that is a decent place to bb and go to school?

Unlike most places, basically all of their starters last season were seniors. I believe that many of these players want to be guaranteed a starting spot.

Forgive my ignorance but aren't all the people who live in Utah cousins.

The Toolson that we speaking of lives in Washington, and Crew Ainge in high school was in New Hampshire.

So the spread of cousinry is more insidious than I suspected
And yes we all know from previous comments on this board that his last name is toolson and his first name would fit in well in Provo. I personally hope he becomes an aggie.
His final four were Boise, usu, BYU and Utah. Not sure if he is a pwo opportunity or scholarship opportunity for each school.
I hope that we get him, but I believe all 4 choices are good choices for him.
I don't believe for a moment that this kid will end in an Aggie uniform.
My feeling is to wait and see.
My feeling is don't lose any sleep over waiting to see.

It’s also a little puzzling that he is going with Pacific Standard Time. So, 6:00 p.m. PST is 7:00 p.m. PDT, which is 8:00 p.m. MDT. I’ll check back at 8:00 p.m. to see what he chose.
But he didn’t specify the Gregorian or Julian calendar. If he is on Julian time, I’ll have to wait almost another fortnight to hear the news.
Edit: this is post 991. I think we will hit 1,000 before 22:00 GMT today.

I vote that we get this topic up to 999 replies, then a mod can swoop in and lock it at that number.
Then we can start a new thread and see if the new one can beat this one.
How about the Georgetown kid that is transfering? Are we interested?
Which one do you speak of?
McClung I’m sure. I’ve not seen anything.
Georgetown transfer Mac McClung went into the NCAA Transfer Portal early Wednesday afternoon, and his phone blew up shortly after.
The schools that have reached out to McClung so far are Florida, Auburn, Texas A&M, Arkansas, USC, BYU, Wake Forest, Tennessee, Gonzaga, Utah, Arizona State, Oklahoma State and Georgia, sources tell 247Sports. https://247sports.com/college/basketbal ... 147127366/

We have no chance. This kid was CRAZY in high school! He could pretty much go anywhere. His athleticism is something special.

But I swear if he ever went to YBU I would
He won’t go to BYU. BYU is just reaching out to every name out on the market

Exactly, the name byu coming up in every tweet about a grad transfer just reeks of desperation, doesn't it?

Trust me. Zero chance this kid ends up an Aggie.
We are saying the same thing. And by the way, the thought that Jake Toolson considered coming to Logan is false. He was going to BYU with his UVU coaching staff or back to Arizona. I get it.

Maybe I've been spoiled, but I'm kind of surprised at all these guys with shooting percentages below 40% that are so hotly pursued.

If anyone wants to watch Tanner Toolson's announcement it will be in Instagram Live on the page @sblivewa in a little less than an hour or so.
