They're looking for a missionary in the streets and an apostate in the sheets. I bet Zack Wilson's mom's friends' husbands want to take him to Disneyland.

This is the Apostrophe Olympics equivalent of sticking the quadruple lutz. 10!

Someone get me in touch with Mike. I served my mission in Mongolia. There are a decent amount of Mongolians in Utah due to the connection with the church. I’m 5’10” and there were very few Mongolians taller than me. I believe he is the only Mongolian in D1 basketball currently, maybe ever. Basketball doesn’t fall into the three manly sports of Mongolia; Wrestling, archery, and horse racing. However, we did play quite a bit of basketball on pday.

Can we make a thread called “Random portal players with no connection to usu” and put all the stuff like this with no connection to usu in there?

This kid did well at a P5, his dad played in the nba, he’s young, has no connection to usu, and was seeking big NIL $ with big p5 offers.

He was never coming to usu.

It’s actually somewhat impactful as it probably means Mongolia mike is less likely to go to cal.

Question is, did Mongolian Mike not include USU in his top 3 because we told him Tucker Anderson was committing, or did we end up with Tucker because Mike told is no? Not that it matters as either player was a great option. I think I’d probably take Tucker if I had the choice anyway.

Regardless of what happened...I would take Tucker over Mike.

Is he a frequent subs guy or a 35+ Minutes per game guy like Sprinkle ?

Calhoun did a 10-man rotation at Youngstown State with one player over 30 minutes, and Calhoun played 7 players over 18 minutes per game and 2 other players over 11 minutes per game.

I think Calhoun was being serious when he said he wants to win a national championship. If by a miracle Great comes back who knows what they could do

A 10 man rotation will help us when it comes to tournaments. You could tell some of our guys were gassed as tournaments went on.

How often does 1 of those 10 go down with an injury?

We lost Max last year, nearly lost Mason it seemed. Happy to have deeper early season rotations.

Even with Carter Welling instead of Osobor, it is statically a national championship team.

I mean why play 8 guys that make 15 points for every 30 minutes they play when you could play 10 guys that make 15 points for every 30 minutes they play.

Based on their per 30 stats, we can make 30 more points a game by playing 10 instead of 8.

So, if we play 10 guys for 20 minutes then we're going to have to start figuring out 20-minute stats. Too much math.

@SLB , would you be so kind as to figure out the 20 minutes stats for our 10 best (championship caliber) players?
