POLL: Will Egor be BYU's first 1-and-done player? (Bradley doesn't count cause mission)

RGGeemer

9:40am

Why would the mission exclude him?

2ndTrombone

9:41am

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

Dr T-bone

Everyone will think the money is coming from the church.

Lifer

Does this mean we’re living right on and off the court?

Idaborn

Sign of the times. Second coming happening soon.

Knee Brace

Probably before the season, and no basketball in the Millenium.

Put one in the hallway to the court with his fist out. Players can fist bump him

Those rumblings a month+ ago on the Illini fan board about Egor to BYU ...

Kdubb

9:31am

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

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

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

RE: So what would Demin be ranked if added to ESPN 100 or 247?

RGGeemer

9:29am

I'd say 100, not 247.

Plantagenet

9:30am

Top 3.

SinkingQuffa

9:31am

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

Mostlyaccurate

9:33am

Yep. Definitely top 10.

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

He has "Magic" sized frame...

Plantagenet

9:33am

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...

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

SinkingQuffa

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

CLCougar

if that is where we are next year, I will be disappointed
