BYU basketball: LSU transfer Seneca Knight reportedly set to visit BYU - Deseret News
I was wrong thinking that Pope would be looking for a big man to replace Haarms with. Turns out that have been looking for a tall shooting guard or stretch 3. Knight would be a good addition at 6’7. The way the modern game is evolving to heavy guard play, 3 point shooting and mismatches, This guy, Knight would be a handful for WCC teams.
Gonzaga found out real quick that having a NBA 7 footer meant very little when Baylor’s superior guards destroyed the Zags, even with the #1 point guard running their team.
If we land this kid, BYU would have a stable of very athletic dudes that look more like a Duke team then a MW team. Last year, BYU had a dance team that would get bull dozed when they played a very tall team, such as USC or BSU. Averette was just too small. This BYU team with Knight would start with strong play in every position except for center (BTW, Harward would be light years ahead of past starters over the past decade with exception to Haarms). You add a 6’7 guard, Calib Lohner, George and Baxter can more then defend the middle. We would be FAST, get a mismatch on every single team with exception of the Gags.
Watch out, Pope would be smokin
