BYU basketball 2025 Offseason

For sure. But I could see him coming on the show to thank BYU and announce his decision to go pro. Sort of the anti-Pope approach.

True, too. 50-50 at this point in my mind.

He gone

[Green Monstah]

Bummer. Excited for the kid, though.

There's definitely some downside to returning.

[SteelBlue]

Because he has been playing for BYU for the past year?

Sorry, it's weird. I can't think of a time where I've seen this. I guess bottom line it's a good look for KY and his stated purpose of the program.

Man, I hope GM's sources are better than my sources. It does seem super bizarre to go about it this way only to say "adios".

Kid is smart to get this out there before the show airs. Needed to put a lid on the expectations bottle.

Reading that BYU may be pursuing Rob Wright III of Baylor.

I'm not up to speed on all the rules. Is there any chance he hears where he might be projected and decides to come back? He had a good tournament, but I heard rumors that he was no longer considered a lottery pick.

I heard on the radio that he had received those assessments and that was a big factor in him going to the NBA. I think he can pull out up until the draft, but not sure.

[myboynoah]

Not sure if true, but she/he claims it is.

I love the use of "averages" when he's played one time in the marriot center. But still, this could be great. Thanks Baptist Bears!

Where Does BYU Go Next to Replace Egor Demin?

Rob Wright, Baylor — The Baylor point guard reportedly entered the transfer portal yesterday after a standout freshman season. Wright made the Big 12 All-Freshman team after averaging 11.5 points and 4.2 assists on 42% shooting from the floor and 35% from three. He scored 22 points in Baylor’s overtime loss to BYU.

Industry sources tell me that BYU was prepared to make a “significant” NIL offer to Wright yesterday shortly after he news broke he intended the portal. I wouldn’t be surprised if Wright is at the top of BYU’s board right now. He has All-Big 12 potential and would be one of the top guards in the Big 12 if he returned to BYU. Egor has higher NBA potential and is a better passer, but Wright is a more advanced scorer and is a willing and capable passer in his own right.

Xaivian Lee, Princeton — The 6-foot-4 point guard entered the transfer portal last week after three years at Princeton. Lee is one of the top point guards in the portal. He is coming off as season when he averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 5.5 assists on 44% shooting from the floor and 37% from three. Sources tell me that BYU has been in contact with Lee.

Sergio De Larrea, Spain — The Spanish point guard plays for Valencia of the Spanish Liga ACB. De Larrea is 19 YO and could declare for the NBA Draft; some pundits have given him a first or second round grade. De Larrea has some similarities to Egor in terms of size. A 6-foot-6 guard with point guard skills, De Larrea isn’t an explosive athlete but shows good vision and scoring ability.

One industry source told me that De Larrea’s agent has been talking with college teams to gauge interest and NIL value. With some of the similaties between De Larrea and Egor, I’m watching Sergio as one to watch depending on who BYU adds in the portal.
