BYU hoops is heating up under Coach Kevin Young as they chase Big 12 glory and NCAA Tournament buzz, fueled by Rob Wright the Third’s elite play, a potential Michigan State transfer center who can shoot from deep, and a roster built to spread the floor with five consistent three-point threats. Freshman Bruce Branch the Third could be a lottery pick, while defensive anchors like Khadim Mboup and Nate Pickens aim to shore up a unit that’s not ready to be written off yet.

BYU basketball is heating up its pursuit of top-five recruit Demarcus Henry, the No. 3 overall prospect in the 2027 class, as they close in on a potential game-changer. With elite schools like UNC, Kentucky, and Arkansas also in the mix, BYU’s coaching staff — led by Kevin Young — made a recent trip to Arizona to strengthen their connection. Henry, a 6-foot-8 wing who thrives on both ends without needing to dominate, could be the next NBA-ready talent after AJ Dybantsa, who went No. 1 overall. Plus, his family legacy at Ohio State adds another layer — his dad was a Buckeye football star and his brother plays there now. With a decision expected before November’s early signing period, Henry’s choice could cement BYU’s reputation as “Wing U” and keep their upward NBA trajectory soaring.
