Egor, his family, and all those around him did his research over many months.
Conclusion was BYU and Coach Kevin Young was the best place for him to be.
Development, people, experience, trust, etc. BYU is the best university and they have the best Coach in the country 🇺🇸 💯
I’m white. My adopted daughter is black. I’ve never had anyone say anything about my skin color - my daughter is in 2nd grade and has already had two different 7 year olds say “I don’t want to play with the black girl” and “your skin looks like poop”.

I was 17 years old when Coach Rose offered me my first scholarship offer. He’s one of the best coaches I’ve ever had and even a better human. We love you, Cheryl and your entire family. Byufam4life

Egor has worked so hard to be a great player. Work hard and great things happen and sometimes unimaginable. It comes easy to him and he’s getting better every time I see him. 👀

I am grateful for a modern-day Moses who was inspired to lead us by focusing on gratitude through and out of a Red Sea of contention and negativity. It is so refreshing to be standing on the dry ground of positivity after nearly drowning in a sea of hostility, fear and contention

Congrats! Let’s go cougar nation!!!
Welcome Coach Young 🙌
ESPN Sources: Phoenix Suns associate HC Kevin Young is finalizing a long-term deal to become the next coach at Brigham Young University. An aggressive push to hire NBA’s highest paid assistant lands BYU its top target.

Best decision ever! Wow!! He and his wife will be so happy he chose to came back. Proud of him. Takes some an amazing young man to come back and do the right thing. 👏
Coach Pope doing what he does best! Guys want to play for him and his staff. It’s no wonder though, they are the best in the business. Some of the best dudes I know🙏🏼Congrats Matt!
Welcome! Smart man! Insanely excited to watch you compete for the best locker room on earth 🌍 ....nothing is better than the Marriott Center + BYU community. ❤️😄 (Pope and staff are the real deal)
Insanely excited to announce that I will be playing for BYU!! So excited and blessed to be in the position Im in today. Ready to get to work!
I am grateful to Mark Harlan and Coach Krystkowiak for their willingness to grant my release. I have a lot of respect for both of them.
1/ My senior year at BYU the MWC gave the player of the year to Ruben Douglas. He was the best player on the worst team but was the top scorer in the conference 🥱 Russia team cut him to sign me a few years later and gave me the largest contract in clubs history.

hustle, rebounds, defense, shot maker, unselfish, and most of all knows how to play the game the right way. I’ll take him on my team any day.

Column: Mark Pope went from NBA player to Ivy League med school to an ops job "counting shoestrings and jockstraps" at Georgia. That crazy career move wound up being the birth of coaching star who is now hitting his stride at BYU.
8th grader Mason Hansen joins his Stance teammate Jamyn Sondrup to play for us! He has already established himself as one of the best guards in class of 2026. Super excited for him to join Utah Stars ⭐️ and light up the circuit the next few years 🔥

God doesn’t want a mission from you, he wants it for you. He doesn’t want repentance from you, he wants it for you. Whatever efforts u give to the Lord he will reward you and your family 100x ❤️
Always remember those who helped you along the way. Forever grateful for Coach Cleveland - he took a chance on a young kid and I’m still reaping the rewards 🙏🏀😀

Jimmer is an NBA player. Sacramento should have gave Jimmer 6-7 years like the Bobcats gave Kemba Walker and he’d be putting up big numbers much like Kemba. Jimmer has the talent, work ethic and skills. Now he just needs an NBA team to believe and play him.
I had a long conversation with
@jimmerfredette
about why he would succeed if given another chance in the NBA. Not only did he recently score 75 points in a game but he also currently leads the CBA in steals.
