The Wild West of College Basketball Recruiting

The college basketball landscape is a wild west of recruiting, where top players are the prized possessions of coaches and programs. In this environment, BYU’s Kevin Young is making a name for himself as a gunslinger of recruiting, landing top prospects and building a program that’s gaining national attention.

BYU’s head coach is making waves in the recruiting world

Young’s recent recruiting activity has been impressive, to say the least. He’s landed two of BYU’s highest-rated recruits in history, Brody Kozlowski and Elijah Crawford, and retained 4-star transfer players Dallin Hall and Richie Saunders. But Young isn’t done yet, with several top players still on his radar.

The Cougars are in the mix for several top prospects

One of the top targets is Amari Williams, a center who recently withdrew from the NBA draft to return to Kentucky. Williams is a dominant force in the paint, with career averages of 10.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks. He’s a game-changer for any program, and BYU is hoping to land him.

Another player to watch is Emilia Tenbrock, a 6-1 guard who recently signed with Coastal Carolina. Tenbrock is a scoring machine, with a career-high 40 points against Texas A&M-Commerce. She’s a great pickup for the Chanticleers, and a player to watch in the future.

As the recruiting landscape continues to evolve, one thing is clear: Kevin Young is a force to be reckoned with. With his pro hoops background and ability to land top talent, BYU is becoming a destination program in college basketball.
