If you're talking about BYU, Yoeli Childs comes in at #17, 6 spots ahead of Sam.

I don't get why they think Yoeli is a better player than Sam. Maybe Neemie, but no way he is overall a better player!

Was there any other Mountain West players listed? At first glance, it did not look like it. If that is the case, that is crazy we have 2 and no other conference mate has one listed!

Nico Carvacho from CSU #95.

Where is Koby? Harding from Weber State is #100.

Yoeli was on my nephews high school team at Bingham and was really talented but was so frustrating to watch. He played like he was playing pick up ball and hung around the three line all game and just played lazy. He must have picked up a work ethic though and I was surprised to see how good he actually turned out. He has a lot of natural ability with height and athleticism and I can understand someone ranking him higher. That being said I am happy we have Sam and not Yoeli. They’re just different styles of players. Yoeli is more of an NBA prospect and maybe that swayed opinions, but Sam is a more well rounded player that has done more with less physical attributes than Yoeli.

With Koby sitting out last season, he's kind of a forgotten commodity. We'll see how he does this year and if he plays well, he'll land on lists like this next season.

Hopefully both our players are available this season.

Koby is expected to play a lot at the #2 spot this year.

Koby and Brendan Bailey will be fun to watch from a Utah sports perspective. Brendan Bailey is a good dude.

Article just came out on Sports Illustrated 15 minutes ago on the top 50 players in college basketball.

Sam Merrill #9
Neemias Queta #35

Wow is all I have to say!!!! Never seen so much national respect and don't remember last time we could say we had 2 of the top 35 players out of 347 college basketball teams. BTW, Yoeli Child's comes in at #25.

From the CBS sports article, we will play against 10 of the top 100 players next year:

Florida - 3 (5, 33, 43)
LSU - 3 (45, 56, 77)
St. Mary's - 1 (36)
CSU - 1 (95)
WSU - 1 (99)
BYU - 1 (18)

From the SI article, we will play against 5 of the top 50:

Florida - 3 (29, 44, 5)
St. Mary's - 1 (36)
BYU - 1 (25)

Pretty crazy. I wonder if we've ever played against this many great players in one season. Those Florida and LSU games are going to be tough.

Possibly when we played in the Big West against UNLV.
