Pope’s recruiting is quite a bit better than Smith’s recruiting.

wasnt that largely the result of Burgess being on staff? (cue our byu troll tagging someone to defend this)

We’ll find out soon enough about this.

And yet they’ve beat 3 of the top 4 teams in the country, and had a 19 game home court win streak. If you defeat the Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse, keep the ball because you’ve earned it, and it may not happen again. But yeah, we aren’t done with Craig Smith just yet, but no question his seat is heating up.
Edit: Also I don’t feel too comfortably pointing fingers at crap basketball conferences, given the circumstances.

As much as I hate BYU (and I really can’t stand them), I have to tip my hat to them this season. They’ve done far better than I thought, so Pope must be doing something right. A win at Kansas is always impressive. In the PAC-12, Arizona is the closest comparison to the Jayhawks as a program, and Utah hasn’t won in Tucson since joining the PAC.
