What Now?

BYU Basketball should not be compared to 2011 because players like Jimmer don’t get recruited by teams like BYU very often. Every once in awhile as with Ja Morant and Murray State a special player does come along, but that can’t be expected. Instead of comparing the current team to 2011, let’s just remember how special and fun it was to have while we had it.

We don’t know what kind of opportunity or chance Jimmer is going to get with the Phoenix Suns, but his stats in the G League, The Basketball Tournament and CBA have shown Jimmer is still Jimmer and if given another shot, Jimmermania could make it’s way back

Best of luck to Jimmer at his shot in the NBA. If you feel the need for more Jimmer, go look up his highlight packages, you will not be disappointed with remembering one of the greatest seasons in not just BYU Basketball history, but college basketball history.
