Dallin Hall Returns to BYU Basketball
Point guard Dallin Hall is returning to BYU basketball
Dallin Hall, the 6-foot-4 point guard, announced on Instagram early Friday that he will return to BYU after briefly entering the NCAA transfer portal in mid-April. This decision comes after former Cougar coach Mark Pope was named the head coach at Kentucky.
“I’m ready to run it back with BYU.”
Hall averaged 9.0 points, 5.1 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game while shooting 42.2% from the field and 35.9% from 3-point range as a sophomore during the 2023-24 season. He averaged a team-high 29 minutes per game due to a lack of depth at point guard. Hall’s return for next season will be key for a program heading into its second season in the Big 12.
Richie Saunders also announced his return to BYU
Richie Saunders also announced he is exiting the transfer portal and returning to the Cougars program. This is a big win for new BYU head coach Kevin Young, who continues to work with the Phoenix Suns as an assistant during their NBA playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves even as he builds his first Cougars roster.
The return of both Hall and Saunders is a big win for new BYU head coach Kevin Young
The return of both Hall and Saunders is a big win for new BYU head coach Kevin Young. BYUtv’s Jarom Jordan reported early Friday, before Hall’s announcement, that the BYU basketball team is headed to Phoenix for Game 3 of their playoff series and that Hall would be in attendance.
