It's going to be at least 2 dudes you've never heard of.

Why would the mission exclude him?

So my poll makes sense

Then just ask if he will be the 2nd.

Looking forward to hearing Arkansas and other fanbases shocked that BYU got him

Kdubb

Do we get Egor, Keita, or Brody with Pope?

HimmerFredette

9:31am

I am not sure BYU would have even gone after Egor with Pope. I don't know one

Hoopster

9:35am

Pope went after pretty much everybody

BYU Fan

9:49am

Well, we did not get Koz with Pope before so....

TheWanderer

9:35am

100% no on Koz (he told him he wouldn't play his frosh year)

If Egor ends up being a lottery pick next year, the flood gates will open.

I'd say 100, not 247.

Plantagenet

Top 3.

SinkingQuffa

#8. This 2025 ESPN mock draft has him at #9 in their NBA draft.

Yep. Definitely top 10.

Lifer

Jaxson Robinson at #47. And outa BYU!!!! 😉

More jaded blurb on Egor Demin from No Ceilings NBA

VinnyBYU

9:24am

Let's see what KY can do for him. I doubt he can beat a 2 off the dribble, but

Mostlyaccurate

9:29am

Demin looks plenty fast and average about 16ppg not 10.

marinact

9:33am

IMO he could really use a full 4 years of college at one school with one coach for his development

TCuz

9:34am

I'm trying to think of a comp for Egor - maybe Toni Kukoc for us older guys?

JJCoug

9:23am

Lebron james

Icelandic Cougar

9:25am

Haliburton

HimmerFredette

9:28am

He's not Toni Kukoc at all. He's a driver, slasher, scorer.

RdF3

9:30am

And passer

HimmerFredette

9:31am

Toni wasn't all those???

SinkingQuffa

9:32am

That kinda sounds like Toni Kukoc to me. I'm lazy to simply compare to a Euro.

JJCoug

9:35am

Not the Toni I remember. 🤷‍♂️

RdF3

9:39am

I thought he did all that decently at the NBA level of the game. Had he played in college I assume

SinkingQuffa

9:44am

Toni was never the primary ball handler/playmaker on an NBA team

Jay Kay

9:49am

He has "Magic" sized frame...

Plantagenet

9:33am

Offensively Think of Ben Simmons but a better (not great) jump shot. Idk about

ZacSeljaas'Stache

9:45am

Wasn’t the worry with KY that he could coach but could he recruit?

Warner

9:22am

The money is doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Glad BYU has stepped up.

VACougMD

9:23am

Money is helpful, but no way Demin comes to BYU without Young's NBA

Shinshin

9:25am

This... Money absolutely helps, but Young is showing that he can recruit.

Cougar TD

9:27am

I agree with you. But also, if BYU could only put up $500K, no chance he comes.

VACougMD

9:34am

Recruiting was never a worry...

Plantagenet

9:34am

well, I guess, if you're talking about having to recruit out of the country and all

Pretty sure KY would say "No". He let him walk without a fight.

Let Louisville pay the medical & redshirt bills this year and BYU benefit next year?

Underhill

9:24am

Hey was a fun player and personality, but not an NBA prospect. KY's sights are clearly on talent we're unaccustomed to

The sole purpose of BYU football should be to use as little money possible from football on football and funnel it all
