This is started in response to the Key Players Thread which will not allow for responses.
Who are the players that will make or break teams. I don't know a lot about the up and coming players on most of the teams. We know the constants, the guys that are going to show up, i.e., Hildebrand, Burke, Batista, D. Thomas, etc. Who are the guys that will be the "it" factor for teams?
For example, I think V. Batista was that player for BYU last year. I don't even know this year for them.This year it looks like it could be a lot of players for BYU. Their middles will be solid, but there seems to be a number of question marks everywhere else as far as talent.
Who are the players that will be key factors for the other teams? Who has to show up for them to have a shot at the Championship? Give us the fan's perspective on your favorite team. I know we haven't seen them play an official game yet, but you should have a good idea. Please elaborate.
I am ready to watch a sport that is non-BCS.

BYU has good team... I was in their practice yesterday. They were plying 6's and look like a solid team. I saw new face and good potential. BYU look a solid team right now.
They defeated Pepp. 3- 0 both nights. I did also see players playing a different position... Batista is playing OH (Look awesome), Taylor Evans (He was playing Opp. but sometimes he play OH) he look unstoppable in the Opp... Rob Neilson is setting very well but he gets better still. Burke is playing MB so f.... nice. And other new players are Ivan Perez (OH), Russell Holmes (MB), Casey Patterson (Opp.) .. well, in conclusion, I don't like BYU but I think that BYU will be the team to beat next season. The team that want get the NCAA Trophy have to kill then first.

I don't know if beating Pepp in 3 both nights is that impressive. Pepp was with out Rooney and a few other key players. .....but they did look good. Neilsen set well, and Evans looked impressive

hey Champer, you said in your post that Cala the cuban is in BYU. Is this correct? I have seen this kid play and he is impressive but I did not know he was going to BYU, he is not in their roster.

well yes! he is practicing in byu and all, but he hasent appeared on their roster because BYU has not made him eligible yet. you know how they are. And yes, he is hell of a player and a very good person. But i dont know how he passed or is going to pass the toefl test and the SAT cause he does not speaks english at all.

that is good to hear! Yes, I actually met him and spoke with him in Puerto Rico right after he stayed in the island. I have to agree with you, not sure he will pass the toefl or SAT as his English is non-existent. A lot of people adviced him to take some classes in PR but he opted to just hang out in the beach and have a good time. Hopefully he can work at it while at BYU and be elegible next season. He is one of the most impressive players at that age that I have seen, just raw talent!

I have to agree with you, not sure he will pass the toefl or SAT as his English is non-existent. Can someone help me with some rules? I have been under the distinct impression that you had to take the SAT in order to get into a 4 year college in this country, especially if you're coming in as a freshman. Reading this indicates that's not true. (But why did my son have take it and pass it on a mandatory basis? Is it different if you come from a foreign country?) (I'm not cry'n foul here, I just want to understand the rule.)

You are right, all student going to a US colleg does need to take the SAT. It is not any different for a foreign student. Not totally sure of this but in order to be able to play as a freshman you need to achieve a certain score (I think it is 800). The point about Cala is that we doubt that he will be able to achive that total initially to be able to play thi season.
Hope this helps!

He isn't yet. Victor wasn't last year at this time. There are rules about the SAT. But there are legal ways to deal with that and be eligible to play. Cala is at BYU, yes. He is not registered in school as of right now.

I clearly said my question was intended to get an understanding of the rule. Someone says he's "at BYU" ... what should a reasonable person be expected to think, that he's there for what, sightseeing? Someone says someone is "at" a school... anyone would think he's attending class. Why is it whining to ask a technical question? (That's rhetorical.) Can we have a reasonable discussion here?

Can we have a reasonable discussion here? Nope! It's been my experience that we cannot have reasonable discussions here

Your whining is worst than my litttle brother in a candy store when I tell him no. Let's stop the sarcasm, even if in jest. People cannot tell when you are kidding when it is in text. This will keep the discussion focused on the topic. Thanks.
