The Future of BYU Basketball: Filling Out the Roster

The BYU basketball program is gearing up for the new season, and with several players transferring out, the team is looking to fill out its roster. This weekend, coveted transfer Chaz Lanier will be visiting the campus, and he’s not the only one on the team’s radar.

Current Roster and Departures

Last season, the team used only 12 of the 13 available scholarships. The current roster includes Trey Stewart, Richie Saunders, Trevin Knell, Dawson Baker, Dallin Hall, and Fousseyni Traore. However, six scholarship players from last season will not be returning, including starters Aly Khalifa, Spencer Johnson, and Jaxson Robinson.

New Additions

Two scholarship newcomers have already signed with the team: Utah transfer Keba Keita and Corner Canyon signee Brody Kozlowski. Keita could slide into the starting lineup, while Kozlowski has the potential to make an early impact at the stretch four position.

Top Targets

The team is currently targeting several top prospects, including Chaz Lanier, Elijah Crawford, Berke Buyuktuncel, and Maxim Logue. Lanier would provide a much-needed scoring punch, while Crawford could be the point guard of the future. Buyuktuncel could fill the stretch four role, and Logue would bring size and athleticism to the frontcourt.

The BYU basketball program is not the only one making moves. The UNC basketball program is also busy on the recruiting trail, with coaches Hubert Davis and Jeff Lebo checking in on top targets Jasper Johnson and Jackson Keith. The Detroit Pistons are also making headlines, with four top candidates emerging for the president of basketball operations role.
