BYU basketball looks sharp this offseason. AJ Dybansta and Xavion Staton are exciting additions, and Richie Saunders and Keba Keita show some promise in returning to the Cougars. Head Coach Kevin Young was fantastic in his first year of coaching at BYU, and year two looks even better. BYU has dug deep into its pockets and pulled off some great NIL moves.
The Cougars are set to have a winning season and are expected to make a deep run in the Big 12 Tournament, possibly even winning it.
Earlier in the year, BYU landed the top-rated overall recruit, AJ Dybansta. The five-star recruit chose BYU over other top programs and announced his decision on ESPN First Take. BYU fans are looking forward to AJ and Staton mixing with Saunders and Keta next season. The question is, how far can BYU go? The Cougars are a favorite in the Big 12, and if last year was any indication of where this team is headed under Kevin Young, this will be good.
The question I've been thinking about is should BYU be a favorite in the Big 12 Tournament this year? The Cougars have the star power, great coaching, and national fanbase to compete, and this year will be fun to watch. With teams like Arizona, Texas Tech, and Houston, it won't be easy, but it will be exciting, and the Cougars can do it.
This isn't an easy question to answer, and it will take some dissecting. Of course, as many of us know, sports are unpredictable, and anything can happen on a given night. However, BYU is a good team, and I have faith in them to win something this year. The Cougars are a fun team to watch and are showing some promise.
The Houston Cougars, Texas Tech Red Raiders, and the Arizona Wildcats are the three teams I am most worried about. BYU was able to beat Arizona on the road last year, but struggled with Houston and Texas Tech. BYU, of course, has bolstered its roster and made some big moves. The Cougars are ready to make a splash on the national scene, and there's a chance they could take down the big three in Texas Tech, Houston, and Arizona.
BYU has a good chance to win the Big 12 Tournament, and fans are excited. BYU has not had a team this good for a while, and it has been so thrilling to watch it all come together. This year will boast an entertaining squad, and it may only go up from here. The season is four months away, and I am looking forward to it. BYU, you can do it.
