Eric Mika reflected on BYU's current season, acknowledging the team's recent struggles, particularly on the defensive end. He pointed out that defensive issues have contributed to BYU's three-game losing streak and emphasized the need for improvement in that area. Eric is open to lineup changes, believing they could provide a much-needed defensive spark.

While praising BYU’s offensive capabilities—highlighting players like AJ Dybantsa, Rob Wright, and Richie Saunders—Eric stressed that the defensive struggles remain a significant concern. He urged Coach Kevin Young to make adjustments to energize the team defensively and turn their season around.

Eric also shared insights from his own playing days at BYU. He recounted his journey: playing a season before serving a mission, sitting out two seasons, and then returning to compete on the court.

Beyond basketball, Eric is now working on NIL ventures with a company called Homecrowd, alongside former teammate TJ Haas. He explained in detail how their business operates, including how they collaborate with schools to support student-athletes' NIL opportunities.
