The BYU Cougars have a verbal commitment from Real Madrid budding star Egor Demin and Jake Hatch began the show with his thoughts on what Demin means for the BYU basketball program as Kevin Young continues to build up his momentum on the recruiting trail and it feels like this could be the launching point for the BYU men's basketball program to go next level.

Jake then talked about KYU extending an offer to Utah Prep Academy star A.J. Dybantsa, who is projected to be the top overall selection in the 2026 NBA Draft, and why a commitment from Dybantsa would surpass everything Keving Young has done in his short tenure at Brigham Young University (BYU) and where it might lead for BYU in the Big 12 Conference.

Finally, the show wrapped up with some thoughts on Virginia two-sport preps star Micah Matthews, who is set to begin a two-day official visit and see what Kalani Sitake and the BYU football program could offer him as Sitake, Jay Hill, Aaron Roderick and the rest of the Cougars' football program look to garner some recruiting momentum of their own.
