NBA: USU's Carroll impressive in summer league

Does he have a year left that would allow him to play at the Y next year? He would be fantastic coming off the bench for another MWC championship. You gotta believe USU would give us some kind of a deal on a two-fer-one.

Go Jaycee Carroll!

Class act on and off the court. You won't find a classier guy.

I have been following him in the Orlando Summer League and hopes he does as well playing in the Rocky Mountain Revue.

This guy deserves a roster spot. You won't find a harder worker than Jaycee Carroll.

Good Luck and here's to hoping some NBA team picks him up.

JC was voted to the 2nd team all league squad for the Orlando summer camp. Not bad for someone playing the point guard position for the first time in his career.

Someone needs to give this guy a shot. I know he's small, but near 50% 3 point shooters don't come along every day.

I hope Jaycee makes the team. I think he could help them. He`s sure a fine young man with alot of class.

Hey Broncster! You cannot even convince Trent Plaisted to stay at BYU for his senior season in the "Happy Valley Bubble." Without your Texas boy, BYU falls back to the pack and I would not be surprised to see UNLV, New Mexico, or San Diego State win the Mountain West in March 2009. Carroll, during his freshman year, Spencer Nelson, and Nate Harris made BYU look like a church ball team in your devotional arena! Looks like Tom Holmoe will be scheduling a lot more of the Eastern Illinois and Northern Iowas of the 1-AA college football world because USU will only play BYU home and home under new athletic director Scott Barnes. BYU better get Weber State and Southern Utah on their speed dial as well. Before you know it BYU will be inviting Utah Valley University over for dinner, when UVU finally adds football. Hawaii had BCS schools back out of their schedule last year. BYU purposely dumbs down their schedule, playing 1-AA schools. Georgia, or any other BCS bowl game team would thrash BYU worse than Hawaii. I would love to see that, however, BYU will lose to UCLA and Washington so it is a mute point.

"moot point" However it will be great to have all the "mute BYU fans" around when the BCS boys put them in their place!

The Jazz should trade c.j. miles, jason hart, jarron collins to new jersey for Jaycee Carol. That is a 3 for one I could work with. Take our unproductive bench for a 50% brent barry style 3 point shooter. Put him in there when you need the 3 pointer, and that's all the playing time he really needs. Crowded roster solved!

Jaycee played today for Toronto and had 14 points in 14 minutes playing his 6th game in 6 days. This is a kid who just wants a chance to prove himself. Someone should pick him up. Good luck Jaycee!!

The cream always rises to the top!

Tha question is why haven't the jazz or apparently any team offerd him contract yet?

Ummm Dream on.

BYU? What makes you think he'd want to play there, even if he did have another year? They snubbed him when he came out of high school. Utah State, however, wasn't that stupid. Not to mention he's good enough to not only start for BYU, but would set multiple school records there, too.

come on, please leave the Y-tards to their dreaming.

I think that is funny that Aggie fans are talking football trash against BYU. Making fun of BYU because they scheduled a division I-AA team? Utah State should move to Dive III. Then they might have a chance to have a .500 record. Utah State, your fans and your teams are pathetic.

Carroll makes 2 of 4 from three point land and all of a sudden the Jazz should trade three players for him! Classic! Go back to making cheese and leave the real sports teams to winning Championships! When does BYU play their retarted cousin again in football anyways? Carroll will have a nice career coaching at Utah State when his playing career flames out in about a year and his Spanish degree can't find him a job. Keep in mind these leagues are full of scrubs and not NBA level talent. C.J. Miles averaged 30 PPG in his RRR rookie year and look where he is. Carroll could always fall back on making cheese-I hear he makes a mean Monterey Jack! Go Cougs.

Wow, that didn't come off as stuck up at all. Good job in proving what everybody already says about cougar fans. By the way, why don't you keep your b-ball coach out of the MTC. Just cause other teams players are "on" his campus doesn't give him the right to go after them.

Looks like someone skipped out of Sunday School today. I find the level of disrespect aimed towards a class act truly amazing. I'll let you get back to your rameumptom. Where ever Carroll's life takes him he will be loved and admired.

JC is a quality player with quality skills. BYU fans ... what's your problem? Have you seen Plaisted from the foul line? Come on. That guy has a better future as a mason then as a ball player. Relax (for once) and enjoy a nice talent coming out of Logan.

I realize I don't fit in here amongst a group of largely idiot posters, mingled with a few decent ones, but as a big Cougar fan I'd just like to say Good for JC! I've always admired him and thought he was a great player.

Recruiting for university sports isn't a perfect science. If BYU had known JC would turn out this way they might have pursued him differently...hind sight is 20/20 and EVERY school, no matter which one you're posting for on this blog, makes similar mistakes.

Aggies should be glad BYU missed the boat on that one and several others. Back in 80 when I graduated from Preston High School, we had a 4 time state wrestling champ in Cordell Anderson. The Andersons ate and drank BYU. BYU didn't offer him a spot because they thought they had better at his weight class. Cordell went on to be All America at USU. So Aggie fans, rather than slamming the Cougars (even the idiot ones on these blogs) a simple "thank you" would suffice.

Good Luck to JC. There will be an NBA team out there at some point that realizes he should have been drafted!
