The BYU Cougars finally have their hoops head man on the job full time as Kevin Young's run with the Phoenix Suns in the NBA is over with their first-round sweep at the hands of Minnesota Timberwolves and despite the near-two weeks of split-attention for the man they're calling "KYU" there has been no downsides to Young's hire as BYU basketball coach.
Jake Hatch then talked about the addition of former Utah State Aggies quarterback McCae Hillstead to the BYU football roster as he announced his commitment out of the NCAA Transfer Portal over the weekend and Jake explains why he is so high on the pint-sized QB due to years of sitting in absolute amazement at his play-making prowess, which he brings to Brigham Young University (BYU), where he will suit up for Kalani Sitake, Aaron Roderick and company in Provo.
Finally, the show wrapped up with a look at the results of the NFL Draft for the BYU football programs as eight former Cougars got NFL opportunities, but only one hearing their name called in the draft with the Kansas City Chiefs selecting Kingsley Suamataia in the second-round and Jake says it shows there is still a stigma around BYU when it comes to the draft.
