July and August we're just going to talk football right...? Not when BYU has guard Jimmer Fredette returning for his senior year. Jimmer chatter can survive through the football season, he is that good. Jimmer was one of 20 collegians on the USA Men's Select Team, the team that scrimmages against the NBA-player-filled USA Men's National team as he is trying to gear up for a grand finale this year.
Jimmer was also named as one of the guards on Dick Vatale's "First Team Pre-Season All-Americans"... and I am sure Vitale would have added a "baby" at the end of that too. To see the Dickie V article click here.
Stephen Curry had some pretty interesting things to say about Jimmer's game at the Team USA camp. Click here to see what position Steph thinks Jimmer will play if he is able to make it to the next level.
The Cougars will be a talented team this year. While they have graduated two seniors in Chris Miles and Jonathan Tavernari, it is safe to say that neither will be missed. Miles was the softest post player to lace 'em up with the Cougs since Jarkko Ahlbom (I'm going to be really proud of anyone that knows that reference), and J.T was the blackest hole BYU had seen since Danny Bower.
BYU will however miss former back up point guard Michael Lloyd Jr. One could put up a pretty solid argument that without Lloyd Jr. pouring in 26 points against Florida, there is no way the Cougars make it out of the first round. After a fall out with the University (most say that his grades and attitude were very low) it looks like Lloyd Jr. will transfer to Midwestern State (Wichita Falls Texas). You can access the article on his transfer by clicking here.
BYU's basketball season won't start until around mid-November but if I was filling out the starting lineup today, it would look like this:
PG- Jimmer Fredette SR
SG- Jackson Emery SR
SF- Kyle Collinsworth FR
PF- Chris Collinsworth SO
C- Brandon Davies SO
In case you missed it, that is three former Provo Bulldogs in the starting lineup. If you were head coach, who would your starting five be?
