BYU males’s basketball coach Kevin Younger has signed a brand new long-term contract extension with this system, sources instructed ESPN on Thursday.
The brand new deal comes on the heels of a Candy 16 run in Younger’s first season and the arrival of freshman A.J. Dybantsa, a possible No. 1 NBA draft choose.
Younger’s extension is the newest funding by BYU into its males’s basketball program.
The primary season below Younger, who changed Mark Pope when he left for Kentucky, was a convincing success. The Cougars went 26-10 and completed third within the Massive 12 regular-season standings at 14-6.
BYU superior to the Candy 16 for simply the third time in program historical past earlier than falling to Alabama 113-88.
Younger added to his success by securing ESPN’s No. 1 recruit within the 2025 class, Dybantsa, who picked BYU over Alabama, North Carolina and Kansas. Dybantsa is the centerpiece of the No. 13-ranked recruiting class in ESPN’s rankings that features ESPN 100 heart Xavion Staton (No. 55) and four-star massive man Chamberlin Burgess.
