Another NBA draftee is trying to return to college basketball, and we've had enough
We're beginning to forget what "college basketball" actually means. This has been especially clear as LSU head coach Will Wade is seemingly going on a whirlwind tour of recruiting overage, professional basketball players from all across the basketball car
Ranking every Holy War win in BYU football's current three-game streak
The Holy War was very one-sided since the split point, where rivals BYU and Utah took diverging paths from one another, with the former opting for football independence and the latter going the way of the Pac-12 Conference (pre Mountain West Plus days). T
Recent Yahoo mock draft compares BYU's AJ Dybantsa to his favorite NBA superstars
As we slide down the hill, funneling the NBA community nearer and nearer to draft season, increased intel makes for increasingly accurate mock drafts. And in Yahoo Sports' most recent mock, BYU's freshman star AJ Dybantsa is unsurprisingly first off the b
Wizards' asking price for the no. 1 pick is too high for the Jazz to take AJ Dybantsa
It's no secret that the Utah Jazz have a large stake in BYU superstar AJ Dybantsa. How often does a projected number-one overall pick actually want to play in Utah above any other destination in the NBA, and then how often has said player arrived from one
BYU basketball releases season ticket prices, and these seats are not cheap
If you're looking to get in on some season tickets for the BYU basketball season, now you know exactly how much it'll cost to reserve your spot in the Marriott Center. As expected, it's going to cost you an arm and a leg to get in, with prices starting no
Jimmer Fredette's son doesn't think his dad is the best BYU basketball alumni ever
I know it's all being played for laughs, but when Jimmer Fredette's son confidently stated that AJ Dybantsa, not his father Jimmer, was the best BYU basketball player ever, I was sent into a ponderous state.
NBA Draft: a BYU fan's pitch to the Washington Wizards about AJ Dybantsa
If I had made a pitch to the NBA draft lottery teams before the lottery, it might have gone something like this: Dear teams, Congratulations on being part of
Cal transfer and linebacker stud Cade Uluave 'had a feeling' BYU football was home
No, Cal hasn't had much of a football program in recent memory, but Cade Uluave was no small addition to Kelly Poppinga's defensive side when he transferred from Berkely to Provo for his senior season.
Kalani Sitake finally speaks out on the night he nearly left BYU football
Kalani Sitake is a BYU man, through and through. Learning under the watchful eye of program legend and namesake of the program's home stadium, LaVell Edwards, Sitake was a fullback during his college days in Provo. After bouncing around the college footba
Is Holy War toxicity finally dying out with the departure of Kyle Whittingham?
The Holy War. The bitter in-state rivalry between the BYU Cougars, a religious private school in central Utah, and the Utah Utes, a state-funded public university in the capital city, has been one of the most heavily-anticipated matchups in all of college
BYU basketball missed out too soon on 4-star late-entry starting center target
Did BYU basketball ever really have a chance at reclassifying big, and 6'11" four-star prospect Theo Edema? After being roped in to his top four finalists at the final moment, Kevin Young's team was suddenly thrust into the spotlight as a team with the po
Memoirs from the Mount: prying the blue goggles from my eyes, evaluating AJ Dybantsa
If this were a clickbait-laced YouTube video, it would be titled something like: "BYU fan tries to be objective about BYU alumni (IMPOSSIBLE!)" paired alongside a vivid thumbnail of my face blowing up like in those old Airheads Commercials. There are many
Fresno State's NIL package for BYU transfer KJ Perry is borderline unbelievable
There are many potential reasons why former BYU guard and top JUCO recruit KJ Perry could have left Kevin Young's program in Provo. A minimized role, a bad culture fit, or simply needing a fresh start from the program that he watched from the bench are al
Former BYU kicker and Holy War legend Will Ferrin has been cut by the New York Jets
Will Ferrin, former BYU football legend and as sure-footed as kickers come in Provo, signed an undrafted free agent deal with the New York Jets soon after the conclusion of the NFL Draft. Only Jack Kelly and Carsen Ryan were drafted out of Kalani Sitake's
Active missionary reopens recruitment from UCLA, BYU football an obvious candidate
Weston Port, a 3-star linebacker and member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, originally received 33 scholarship offers -- BYU included, of course -- out of high school before siding with UCLA near his hometown of San Juan Capistrano. No
The Utah Jazz's interest in BYU star AJ Dybantsa is much more than just rumors
According to Andscape's Marc Spears, the Utah Jazz have already touched base with the Washington Wizards about potentially swapping spaces in the 2026 NBA Draft. I'll give you a moment to scrape your jaw off the floor. "The Jazz have reached out to the Wa
This 4-star big could reclassify to 2026, and BYU basketball is a top-4 finalist
BYU basketball is such a late entrant into the race for four-star big man Theo Edema that 247 Sports hasn't even listed the Cougars as one of his offers. Sort of makes you wonder if the site's high-confidence crystal ball to Maryland is as rock-solid as t
Kentucky is cutting into BYU basketball's lead for this Croatian 7-footer
BYU basketball solidified their spot as the leader for Croatian forward-slash-center Michael Ruzic recently, but with the big reportedly set to announce his commitment in the coming days, BYU's wandering eyes have managed to let Mark Pope -- our dear frie
BYU's AJ Dybantsa could be falling into a career-halting trap with the Wizards
Assuming the Washington Wizards decide to take BYU star AJ Dybantsa with the number-one pick -- because honestly, who wouldn't -- this potential NBA superstar could have his development severely stunted thanks to one man. Trae Young. Trae Young's value bo
'Bear can get them there' analyst believes BYU football's QB will lift team's ceiling
There was little reason to believe that BYU football could replicate the success of 2024 when quarterback Jake Retzlaff left the program. In a year that saw the Cougars leap from the second-lowest projected team in the Big 12's preseason poll all the way
BYU football social media doesn’t jump on this Big 12 trend for obvious reasons
The Big 12 Conference space on social media is clearly itching to talk some football, because the conversation has already devolved to bragging about alternate uniforms. Not the standards, not the road jerseys, not the home uniforms. No, we're talking abo
AJ Dybantsa reveals his preferred team to the NBA world, but they already knew
BYU star and the projected number-one overall pick, AJ Dybantsa, just spilled the beans on the worst-kept secret in the entire basketball world. He let the cat out of a transparent plastic bag with the words "Utah" and "Jazz" painted on either end. Everyo
Kevin Young's hunt for this NBA-level Italian 7-footer finally gets some good news
It feels as though it's been nearly a week since I last wrote an article about how badly BYU basketball needs to find a starting center. That was fun while it lasted. We're diving head-first back into the frenzy surrounding BYU basketball hunt Luigi Suigo
First African-American quarterback in BYU history officially retires from football
Jaren Hall, a former starting quarterback for BYU football, has announced his retirement from football via his Instagram account. Jaren was a lot of things for BYU. As the heir to Zach Wilson's starting slot, Hall filled in as the starter for both the pro
Kevin Young, BYU basketball taking huge swings in the recruiting class of 2027
If you thought that BYU basketball acquiring a five-star freshman recruit in three consecutive years under head coach Kevin Young was a fluke, think again. Also, I question why you would even begin to question that at this point. Are you ok? Click three t
