Future Opponents 2020-21

[jsnider]

How good will Jesse Wade be for BYU this year? Not sure where or how he would have fit in for GU with all of their guard talent. I will look forward to seeing him play - if they play.

Anybody know anything about Tanner Toolson who just committed to BYU tonight?

BYU added Tanner Toolson from Vancouver, WA. Will take mission and start playing in 2022. Late bloomer started high school at 5'6", finished at 6'5". Might be 6'11" after the mission at that rate. Had Utah, Utah St, Boise St in final 4.

It's crazy that we will probably still be talking about this kid on this board in 2026 when Gonzaga beats BYU in the conference tournament title game.

Will California have any sports in 2020? I live in California and it's not looking good.

I live in So Cal - Great question. And I agree with you.

Since the California schools can’t play home games until 2021, then maybe they can play their home games in Vegas. They could play two to five games if necessary on Thursdays & Saturdays...road games (if a CA school) could be played at Portland, Provo and Spokane As normally scheduled...

The P-12 schools are also going to have to make arrangements as well...UCLA and USC could also go to Las Vegas or Arizona, while Cal and Stanford could go to either Reno or Portland...BUT I’m sure the P-12 has already determined how to move forward...

I wonder if Gonzaga is making contingency plans around the possibility that a season proceeds without California schools on the schedule. Would they ask the non-California teams from the PAC-12 and Mountain West to fill some holes on the schedule? If Gonzaga, UW, Arizona, WSU, ASU, Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Boise State, Nevada, BYU, etc. all need to fill a bunch of unexpected holes on their schedule, would they be able to substitute games against each other?

[Zagdawg]

That would be a great schedule alternative.

Omg that would be amazing. Like a combined wcc/pac 12 minus the Cali schools. Maybe it would be so perfect they would keep it long term, lol. I can dream.

[MDABE80]

More than suitable. We will have a season . Plenty of good teams to fill in for the dropouts if it comes to that

Davide Moretti has signed to play professionally in Italy and will not return to Texas Tech.

Significant Big 12 news.

Mac McClung commits to Texas Tech. Zags will play McClung and Tech in Phoenix in December if he gets his waiver approved.

Arizona landed their 5th and 6th international recruits.

For some strange reason I felt we (GU) had the "IN" when it came to Lithuanian basketball players wanting to play in the US?

Color me not worried.

[Zagdawg]

Agree with Bogo here --- maybe it was the timing --- we have a pretty good sized group of solid big men on the roster.

[MDABE80]

I'd wager that Corey and Anton will be fabulous at the 3 position. I also think our bigs are very very good. Ballo, while he needs work will wear any other big man out.
It's nice that other teams grab players with potential, we have kids that have played together, have huge talent and, while we have somenewcomers building the future, we have uber talented veterans.
Yes, unless something crazy goes wrong, we'll have a superior season. I hope it's one for the ages.

Looks like San Diego adding a solid player.

I appreciate all the coaches who reached out to me and recruited me. With that said, I’ve decided to commit to Coach Scholl and the University of San Diego #gotereros

I find it terrible that Miller doesn't even buy American made products anymore.

Miller describes Arizona's approach to international recruiting

Simply put, it's dollars, pesos, Euros, Aussie Dollars, Dinar, you name it. He probably has a staffer who keeps track of daily exchange rates.

This is Tarleton's first year as a member of D1. This game could get very out of hand after the first 5 minutes.

Or it could be a repeat of UT-Arlington.

Billy Gillespie is a heckuva coach. I wouldn't look past this game.

For some reason, the link didn't work, although this one does. Beats the heck out of me.

BTW, if you suffer from epilepsy, DO NOT click on the link. Their website jumps around more than a jackrabbit being chased by a bobcat. Seriously, it's painful to watch.

ETA: the second time through, it wasn't that bad...lol. I also noticed Billy's been signing some all-state players. His roots in Texas are deep, he'll be able to recruit talent.

TSU has undergrad enrollment of about 11,000, and is about 110 miles west of Dallas.

Good late addition for BYU.
