Everything about the current state of BYU basketball would be absolutely unimaginable just three years ago -- heck, maybe even two years ago. Under head coach Kevin Young, Provo has become a premier destination for top-tier recruits. Preseason All-Americans and All-Big 12 players speckle the depth chart. The University of North Carolina, an undisputed blue blood, came to the Beehive State for a preseason exhibition against the Cougs in the Delta Center. That was a game that BYU won, by the way.
So yes, please excuse me if my excitement and buzz for this incoming basketball season trickles down and soaks into my verbiage, tone, and voice here, because there has never been a more exciting time to be a supporter of BYU basketball.
