Alex Barcello Announces He Will Return to BYU
Jeffrey Swinger-USA TODAY Sports BYU basketball got a huge lift for next season as senior Alex Barcello announced he will return to BYU. The NCAA gave this season as a “free” year — meaning it did not count against eligibility — and also said all returning seniors will not count against the scholarship allotment. Barcello made the announcement during BYU’s Fathers and Sons camp Friday evening and on his social media.
Alex Barcello was first team All-WCC and an AP All-American Honorable Mention. He averaged 16.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists on 52.3% shooting from the floor and 47.7% shooting from three. This will be Barcello’s fifth season after two seasons at Arizona and two at BYU.
