Top celebrity and media mentions of Jimmer Fredette

What a last 24 hours for Fredette and his Cougar team mates. Seriously, he could just as easily have had 50 as the 43 he finished with. I'm hopeful that with the success of Jimmer, and the overall record of the team, that there will be a couple of recruits, that the Y is targeting, leaning our way.

Dave Rose has been a God send to the Y. Before everyone gets all up in arms with my comment, he is exactly what Brigham Young University stands for and is a fine example of the teachings of the Mormon faith. It's just too bad their are fans out there, like me, that are homers, and at times our a bad example, occasionally giving the school a bad name.

I am a sinner, who Love his Cougars!!!

As a huge Ute fan, but also as a Latter Day Saint, I offer my best wishes for Jimmer and BYU. We should all enjoy him while we can. I remember 1998 when we (The Ute Nation) nearly won the National Title. Many Cougar fans cheered on our team and respected our players (Andre Miller, Mike Doleac, Alex Jensen, etc.) It's time to return the favor. There is nothing not to like about this kid, your team, or a classy guy like Coach Rose. The rivalry is great, and I have teased and been teased by many friends over the years about it, but I wish you the best this year. What a great player, and more impressive, in this day and age, a class act! You have something special in him. My best comparison: Pistol Pete Maravich.

MormonUte, as life long BYU fan, I like to say that I'd tip a glass of milk with you any time. I was one of those cheering the Utes in 98.

I liken him the the late great Drazen Petrovich.

Also a lifelong BYU fan. I also cheered for the Utes back in '98.

I think the SDSU game was huge for Jimmer and his draft stock and status for possible POY. But the season has a long way to go and BYU has a lot to work on as a team before thinking about Final Four dreams as some are suggesting. I love Jimmer, and I was proud of the win. The crowd was STELLAR! Now I'm excited to see how the team reacts down the stretch and in the NCAA Tournament.

Lets just hope that the Jazz don't pick him up aha.

I love Fredette! Let's enjoy the moment. I watched the game on Wed 26th, primarily to see Jimmer. Understandably, either team could have won and I would not have been disappointed. I am an ardent BYU fan. But I know that the Coug's are not unbeatable. Just enjoy who we have playing now! Only about 10 more games before the MWC tourney (if we get to watch due to the foothills TV contract). I love it. NyronP

Like MormonUte, I'm LDS and a strong Utah supporter. Jimmer is, indeed, an extraordinary person. I hope he becomes not only a BYU and Utah legend; but a national legend as well. I think Rose is a class act. My best wishes for BYU this is your time. I'm routing for Jimmer and his school.
Go Utes

TJ, the older brother, got it right: "AMAZING"

And not just an amazing talent. A good kid. One we can all feel good about cheering for.

Living out in Missouri, people mostly follow KU, K-State, OU, Arkansas or Mizzou. However, the chatter now for a lot of sports fans is, "did you see that Jimmer kid from BYU?" Well deserved. Great exposure for Jimmer & BYU. Just hope that we can keep it going. Go Cougs!!
