Not sure how much to believe that, and the writer also says Kevin Young had "zero" head coaching experience which we of course know is wrong, as if being a head coach in the D league isnt something relevant?

"Expected player departures: Egor Demin, a 6-9 point guard, has averaged 10.5 PPG and 5.4 APG for the Cougars this season. That unique size at a key position turned Demin into a projected lottery pick this summer. Trevin Knell (9.1 PPG) and Fousseyni Traore (8.7 PPG) are seniors who will exit, too.

Top incoming recruit: A.J. Dybantsa. The 6-10 star, the No. 1 recruit in the 2025 class, committed to BYU after reportedly accepting nearly eight figures in an NIL deal. Dybantsa, who can play multiple positions, could change the program's future if he lives up to the hype that has preceded his arrival.

Portal priorities: With Dybantsa and Xavion Staton (2025 ESPN 100 No. 35) arriving and Demin leaving, coach Kevin Young's first priority will be to identify an elite point guard. Young has said he's open to exploring both the portal and the European basketball pool. If Richie Saunders returns, Young will have his top scorer from this season alongside the top freshman. But he'll need a maestro to lead the way for this intriguing group in 2025-26.

What did the Cougars learn in Kevin Young's first season? BYU's goal this season was to compete in the Big 12 with the veteran talent it had on its roster, and the Cougars did just that. Not only that, but the Cougars reached the Sweet 16 for the first time since Jimmer Fredette's reign — a significant milestone for Young. His success should continue to help BYU attract some of the best talent from high school as well as the transfer portal. With zero head coaching experience on his résumé prior to this stint, Young has proved he can lead a college basketball program, which will matter for a team that will face more scrutiny next season with the arrival of Dybantsa. — Myron Medcalf"
