Asked my contact in the program who they’re most hopeful about in 2025 recruits

Isn’t this literally every recruit we know the current staff has contacted?

Kdubb

Aug 19, 11:33am

Not quite. No Harwall, Burries, Khamenia, etc.

tacallaway

Aug 19, 11:41am

Nope. There are about a dozen more I could mention that they aren’t very

I like this list

Archaea

I highly support the idea of all those recruits playing at BYU

As far as ranking them on priority set by the staff, McCombs has said Dybantsa

This seems to exclude the European prospects. Probably because they don't start

Mostlyaccurate

Aug 19, 11:44am

Yep it’s too early right now to know where they’re leaning generally

CycloneCoug

How many openings will we have?

IdahoCoug

Aug 19, 11:45am

Probably 6 but could be more with any transfers.

Mostlyaccurate

Aug 19, 11:46am

Or fewer with transfers coming in. We won't go ultra young.

CalGTR

At least 6. Knell/Mag have their Covid year and Trey/Fous are on their 4th year.

Why does Catchings leave if undrafted?

Soy Celeste

That's just the vibe I get. He really wants to be in the NBA.

tacallaway

Aug 19, 1:47pm

Of course he does. He wants the money and the lifestyle.

DeepCCoug

Sure, but with NIL a lot of guys can get as good or better in college.

tacallaway

Disappointing that we are still messing with 4 star prospects.

Lifer

Yes I looked up that Simcoe fella and he is 184th rated?

Let’s say all 8 want to come to BYU, what happens?

Kevin Young gets translated.

Awesome stuff, Cyclone! Quick follow-up question...

AJ is clear #1 target. We’re throwing the kitchen sink at him.

CycloneCoug

Kitchen sink made of money

Interesting - Chamberlin Burgess not on this list...

VinnyBYU

Aug 19, 12:35pm

He's likely a fallback option. Probably depends on how these guys shake out.

tacallaway

Aug 19, 12:43pm

I should’ve said this is who they want most/have highest chance to get

CycloneCoug

Aug 19, 12:56pm

Would bet he is signed.

roseyscenario

Team needs to perform well this season to solidify/strengthen recruiting efforts

lbmango

Aug 19, 1:24pm

Almost all of these guys will make an initial decision before that. Now it could

Is Dean Rueckert a 2026 recruit?

SingleStrapBackpack

Aug 19, 1:49pm

yes - class of '26

VinnyBYU

Aug 19, 1:55pm

Good. Glad to hear he wasn't supposed to be on that list 🙂

SingleStrapBackpack

Aug 19, 2:07pm

I would think we would be confident about Burgess? Or was he left off because he
