Good article by Jay Drew on BYU's future in basketball

The high school signees will go on missions directly.

The two guys coming in are Haws (returning) and Raul Delgado (transfer).

Harrison is going on a mission, so that frees up his scholie. Drew speculates whether it will be given to Cusick or go towards another recruit.

Cooper Ainge is walking on.

And the more distant future looks like this:

Down the road, the Cougars will welcome Kyle Collinsworth back from his mission in Russia prior to the 2013-14 season. Isaac Neilson, the 6-10 center from Mission Viejo, Calif., left for Birmingham, Ala., two months ago and won’t be available until the 2014-15 season.

Four players who just finished their junior seasons in high school — Arizona’s Braiden Shaw, Lone Peak’s Nick Emery and Eric Mika and Jakob Hartsock of Bartlesville, Okla. (Noah’s brother) — have said they will join the program down the road as well. Lone Peak’s T.J. Haws, who just finished his sophomore year, has also committed to BYU.

The nation’s top high school junior, 6-foot-8 Jabari Parker of Simeon High School in Chicago, recently led his team to an Illinois 4A state championship and is on BYU’s recruiting radar because he is a member of the LDS Church. However, Duke, Kentucky, Illinois and other college basketball powers are also heavily recruiting Parker, and BYU’s chances of landing the program-changer are considered miniscule.

Miniscule? I'll take it.

Good defender? check
Shoot the three? check

Sounds just like what we needed.

Whoa, I just noticed that this article was written by Brandon Gurney.

I guess he transitioned from TBS and Cougarboard to actual real journalism.

Davies coming back for senior season.
