The most anticipated season in BYU Basketball history is about to tip off.

BYU basketball enters the 2025-26 season ranked No. 8 in the preseason AP Top 25 poll. They are led by second-year head coach Kevin Young, who assembled a roster that features First Team All-Big 12 performer Richie Saunders.

Young went to work and landed the No. 1 recruit in the country in AJ Dybantsa. The 6-foot-9 wing/guard could be the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft next June. 

BYU also brings in Baylor transfer guard Rob Wright III to anchor the point guard spot.

BYU boasts a loaded roster with a wealth of talent. KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper previews the upcoming season with an interview with Kevin Young, along with sound from Rob Wright, Richie Saunders, and AJ Dybantsa in this season preview of the show.
