BYU Basketball's Faith-Filled Core

0:00On May 3rd, Kevin Young is rebuilding BYU basketball with a clear nod to the program's roots, stacking the roster around a core of six players raised. In the latter day's St. Faith, these guys already lived the honor code, no crash course needed. He's landed top transfers like Colin Chandler from Kentucky, and Jake Wallin from Clemson in Utah, plus freshman Brooks Bar and Dean Ruakert, big. Man Adam Stewart from TCU, and Returner, Dawson Baker. This group mostly came up through the Utah Prospects AAU team, winners of the 17 under Adidas Summer Championship last year with current Cougar, Brody Kuzlowski. Their battle tested on national stages, blending faith culture with serious hoop skills to fix last season's injury woes and thin depth. Fans and insiders see this as smart leadership, both on and off the court, especially after a young squad struggled adjusting to BYU life. These players bring Instant Bion, ready to lead without the usual freshman growing pains.

1:01Tim Davis, who coached many of them for over a decade, breaks it down. Chandler's a dynamic driver and shooter beyond spot-ups, barhors a tough lefty. Point guard built for the big 12, records a versatile defender and rebounder with pop, Wallin's a six-foot-ten slasher who guards one through. 5. Young's tweaking the culture for depth and wins. Watch this core unlock BYU's potential in the big 12 grind ahead.
