BYU basketball: Is Utah 7-footer Matt Van Komen the next Shawn Bradley?

With the recent addition of LJ Rose to the BYU basketball team and rumors of another transfer soon to be added, Cougar fans can breathe a sigh of relief that the 2016-17 roster is rounding into form and will be well balanced, despite the onslaught of guards and wings who have transferred away.
