Aytes said at media day that he was healthy for the first time in a long time.

Cougar fans should get excited.

Aytes looks an awful lot like Keena Young, but I’m not sure if Aytes’ offensive game is comparable. But at the same time, it’s tough to make many comparisons because we’ve never really seen him healthy.

But, he said his goal this season was to lock down opposing scorers, and he certainly has the body to do that. He’s quick and has good feet, plus he’s got the bulk to take on bigs on the low block. I don’t think anyone is going to push him around.

If he can be a bulldog for Rose, and spend his night making scoring difficult for the other team, then BYU basketball is going to win a lot of games this season.
