Brigham Young Cougars guard Nick Emery (4) drives to the hoop with Weber State Wildcats guard McKay Cannon (24) defending as BYU and Weber State play at the Marriott Center in Provo on Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2016.

During the last few weeks, the BYU Cougars basketball program has brought a great deal of uncertainty, as Yoeli Childs and Elijah Bryant declared for the NBA draft, with Bryant signing with an agent and thus skipping his final year of eligibility.

Late Friday night, the Cougars got a big addition for next season.

Guard Nick Emery, who left the team before last season and withdrew from school in the midst of an NCAA investigation regarding the reception of improper benefits, announced via social media that he'll be returning to the squad for the 2018-2019 campaign.
