Just heard about Nick Emery not playing this year. This is a clear addition by subtraction scenario for Provo.

A little timeline:Originally Posted by sancho
Punches Brandon Taylor during a basketball game.
Afterwards appears to show zero remorse for his actions and when Coach K complains he tells him to "sit down and shut the fuck up" making K so upset that he cancels the BYU Utah basketball game the next year.
Consistently comes down on 3 and 1 and 2 and 1 fast breaks and jacks up NBA threes.
Regularly takes running jumpers and long 2 point shots with 15 to 20 seconds left on the clock
Gets married. Within a year or so get's divorced (over rumors of infidelity, causing friction with x-wife's family so much so that said family rats him out to the media--see below)
Takes trips with fan boy 40 year old cougar club member to see U2 in concert in Toronto (and is dumb enough to post it on social media)
Takes the benefit of a car titled in the fan guy's name.
Only after coach tells media that Emery must sit out until issues above are resolved by the NCAA, does he withdraw from school saying his mind isn't right (of course, one could argue what he is really doing is saving a basketball season by basically red shirting and waiting to find out what the NCAA and BYU does to him before deciding to transfer.)
Yeah, I would agree. Addition by subtraction.

It's kind of funny, given the relative pre-college hype that was placed on the two of them, that it looks pretty likely that Jackson will be the more valuable player in college.
Seems like a very angry kid. I hope he gets that under control.

True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.

I remember one of these local media guys said that Nick was a perfect combo of Jimmer and Jackson. Wish I could remember who it was.
maybe he should transfer to the Home for Lost Boys aka UVU.
He needs to find a coach desperate enough to take a chance on him.
Im actually expecting a heart-warming redemption story in about 9 months.

Maybe Ole Miss has emotionally recovered from the Henderson days by now.

Are things this bad in Salt Suck City after losing to Wazzu that you must wallow in conjecture and rumour? I don't like his privileged basketball attitude either. Yes, there should be consequences for alleged NCAA infractions. But dealing in rumours about his marriage is beyond the pale. Almost as bad as blaming BYU for Utah fan stupidity (see earlier in this thread). What the hell has happened to you, and Utah fans in general? Your post is embarrassing.
I think you missed his point which was that BYU was better off without him.
I'm not sure where he appears anything but congenial about this.

"Ėverybody loses in Emery Scandal?" as a Utah fan, I'm trying to figure out how I lose?
For sheer comedic entertainment, I think I win. The simple fact that Emery was found hanging out with a middle aged man at Harry Potter Land while driving his buddy's Jetta is about as BYUish as it comes. It could only be more BYUish if it included Legoland, a GMC Astro van (with a happiness is family home evening bumper sitcker) and some sort of free tickets to a clogging performance.
Everyone loses, except for the kid that got a free trip back East for a U2 concert and a VW Jetta. Well, actually. I guess everyone does lose in this situation.
Well, we do play BYU this season, right? We lose in the sense that BYU is a better team without Emery. In general, I want BYU to continue to be bad at sports, and dropping Emery is a step in the wrong direction for that.
Yes. BYU is worse off for what he did. But that's not what I said.
Question: Would BYU be better off with him on the team understanding the distraction this situation is becoming?
Haha. No response from two utes to little brother's chiding. Probably two utes is waiting to whup is ass on Thanksgiving.
