No matter how podunk Utah can be,  you cannot take Napolean D away from eastern Idaho.  That movie so nailed life in Dubois, Rexberg, etc. 

 

I’ll take your word for it.  I can’t really speak to Dubios & Rexberg, ID.  I’ve only been to Boise a few times on quick business trips & Sun Valley back in the ‘80s.  I’ve also driven I-84 [Spokane-Boise-SLC] 2-or-3x in the last-10-yrs.

However, is there really that much of a difference between:  “Eastern Idaho,” Northern Utah & Southeastern Wyo?

 

FWIW…in addition to lion’s share of shooting on location being done Preston, ID; very limited stuff was also filmed in:

- Franklin*, ID

- Richmond, UT

- Skyesville^, Penn

Meanwhile we have lost our PF, added a 6'4" guard and a skinny 6'9" kid who faces up and didn't get off the bench at Zona.

We're going to be really scary guys. I promise.

 

Lost your PF?

Weren’t y’all just a bunch o’ lil’ guards guards 6’2” or smaller & Frosh JT Toppin [I’m guessing he’s the PF y’all lost] last season?

Bowen Born, 6’ guard from Northern Iowa. Nearly 1500 points in his four years and 35% 3-point shooting.

I think CSU is done with the portal, having added Ethan Morton (Purdue), Keshawn Williams (N Illinois), Jaylen Crocker-Johnson (Little Rock), and Born. Currently 7 others on the roster with a chance that Nique Clifford returns as well.

 

 

Don’t get me wrong.  I’m glad we picked-up Born from No Iowa.  He’ll be a good bridge for KC, while he transitions into the guy at PG in 2025-’26 & beyond.  However, isn’t 6’0”, being a lil’ generous?  I’m hearing he' closer to 5’10” ¿No?

EDIT:  Never mind.  I saw you made the same “generous” statement last-wk.  SORRY!

 

As for ‘Nique returning, his invite to the NBA Combine doesn’t bode well for our Rammies.  :-(

He looks taller than 6 foot. 

 

Ya…next to that Rocky Mtn Bighorn Ram, Born looks like he should be playing in the post.

He’s 5’10, or 5’11” on a good day...

I don’t particularly like short guards unless they’re really quick. Teams tend to take advantage by posting them up with taller guards. 

 

CSU did okay w/6’0” PG Zay Stevens the last 5-seasons.

Stevens listed at 6’ with Medved.

 

vs. Born

 

 

NICE.  Great empirical evidence!

A big Serbian named Nikola? I’ll have me some of that. He’ll be part of a young stable of bigs that the Rams have accumulated, joining sophomores 6’8” Jaylen Crocker Johnson, 6’7” Rashaan Mbemba, and freshmen Kyle Jorgensen (6’9”) and Jaden Steppe (6’8”). and they're all pretty stout, weighing anywhere between 220 and 250.

 

Will we look more like SDSU, than SDSU nxt season?

The short answer is no, the long answer is no.

Can't vouch for southeastern Wyoming but eastern Idaho is basically old school Utah before non mormons moved into SLC, etc. 

The actors in the movie played characters you will find in droves in those little eastern Idaho towns though.  There is zero diversity.

That egg farm scene;  I loved that and I could smell it through the TV.

Not a transfer, but a recruit.

 

 

[jdgaucho]

Fresno wanted to bring the local hero home for his senior year.

 

It didn't work. Cole Anderson never entered the transfer portal.

Good kid. Talk to him at KU game. He needs to lose some weight and get in shape. Hopefully he can hit his potential which is huge.

 

I hated to see him go but I doubt he would have seen much playing time once conference play started. We still have a number of question marks so his dept would have been good to have. We need two more impact guys at least one more guard and preferably an PG and a third 5. That’s if Dawson Baker is healthy.

Very athletic a great shot blocker. Awesome on the pick and roll. Post up is decent. But You will be lucky to get more than 10 minutes out of him before he fouls out. 
 

Good get, we could have used him. We need 3 bigs we only have 2.  We have an upgraded Atiki from Utah and the stud Fous who Bill Self said was our best player. BYU needs another one, not sure we can get a 3rd string 5 as good as Atiki.
