BYU basketball 2025 Offseason

[Jeff Lebowski]

Which guy is that?

Braden Smith. One of the top PG's in the country. Not in the portal, but there are rumors.

[Donuthole]

Which guy is that?

Smith. To go with Young. JK I have no idea.

[Pelado]

And because we are picking up that guy from Purdue.

Hall entering the portal may be because he thinks Egor really is staying one more year.

That’s a price I’m willing to pay.

Hall would be gone after next year either way, so eventually the coaching staff will have to figure out how to retain someone like Crawford who isn’t expected to leave early for the draft. Continuity is both in high demand and short supply in the current portal/NIL era.

Bumping this for the departure of Airball Hall. The language makes it seem like he isn’t considering a return to BYU like last year.

He said a year ago that he came back because Coach Young told him he could make Hall’s “dreams of being a pro a reality.” Maybe Hall feels he can better pursue that somewhere else, but he saw the floor a lot this past season (even though he came off of the bench).

Lee Cummard has been hired as the Women's Coach. He seems to have a good relationship with Delaney Gibb, which is good for her sticking around. She has a very good relationship with Demin. Maybe she can convince him to stay. If they both stay that would be great.

The first sentence of your post had me wondering if it was in the right thread.

Hall is a good back up. They may bring in a PG but I hope that PG is comfortable with not playing a great deal until the 26-27 season. I am expecting Egor to return for another season and I think Hall will as well.

But IMO, BYU has itself a fabulous HC so I am pretty convinced whatever happens will be the right thing and BYU will have a great season next year.

Egor staying would make for an even more exciting next season. I don’t think it’s as far-fetched as it seemed at the beginning of last season.

Maybe they will bring in a ball handler who doesn’t play how Hall did against Alabama. I was hoping Crawford would stick around and turn into a significant contributor, but it appears the odds of that are low now with his entering the portal.

I disagree with your disagreement!

I will pledge my life and sacred honor to defend your right to be wrong about this.

I disagree. Need an offseason thread until the roster is complete. Cleaner this way. Then we dive into next season.

I disagree with your disagreement!

Haha. I like it. Bring on 2025 BYU basketball!

Losing Catchings & Crawford demonstrates the quality of the program and players under KY.
