I remember Kres. I worked on campus for Tolboe Construction building the new arena. Kres then played for Stan Watts Cougars. Hugh Nibley helped convert Kres to the gospel.

I have a daughter serving an LDS mission in Croatia right now. This will help her understand the connection between the US/BYU and Croatia.

I remember Krešimir Ćosić. I've been a BYU fan since 1965. I saw him play at BYU in 1970. I heard about his death in 1995. It was a sad thing to hear about.

Legend.

Great tribute to Lavell. He built BYU in all facets

I was also a freshman at BYU in 1970. Literally watched him practice from behind the basket on the second floor of the Smith Field House. So fun. Didn’t know was admiring the magical play of a future national hero and trailblazer. 😮

The way you weave a narrative is so impressive. Keep at this. It's working.

Thank you for highlighting a wonderful player, and a truly great man.

This is a great and much needed video about a great man whose story should be more widely known. I was familiar with Cosic but didn't know many of the details spelled out here. I do remember in the 1980s reading stories in the newspaper about the Yugoslav national team, coached by him.

Char coal grey always looks so good

People have difficulty in accepting the fact that a simple dude, with no flash, without any interest to show off, can be, by a very large margin, the leader in total assists and steals. Stockton is a legend and has accomplished such feats without the need of superteams or the hype of the press to boost his image.

1/1/1997 Cotton Bowl Classic. Literally the exact same thing as every New Year’s Six Cotton Bowl Classic. We beat KSU 19-15 and finished #5 in the polls.

Sick channel dude, you’re gonna get big someday, video is clean

Excellent video! It's interesting to look at the NBA players who were mentored by Cosic. Guys like Drazen Petrovic, Vlade Divac, Toni Kukoc, and Dino Radja all developed under Cosic's tutelage, and were successful NBA and international players.

First

All of the final schools offered similar NIL packages. Also, BYU makes the tourney a little over 50% of the past 20 years, so it's not like they're totally out of the picture.

Coop is number 1 next year

Yes

Jay Hill needs to stay with BYU forever.

You missed that his official title is "Assistant HC / Defensive Cordinator" He's getting paid HC money as a D cordinator.

Great story, exceptionally well told.

Charlotte has some clean ones with the gold. I saw them a few times last year and loved it everytime. Just clean and refreshing

Jay Hill is the best coach in the state of Utah. BYU would take the next step in becoming a true contender if they would hire him as their head coach.

next year we better make the playoffs

Sitake set the program back by retaining "drop eight" Tuiaki five years longer than he should have. Easily kicked Detmer to the curb after two seasons and laid the blame on him while ignoring his DC's 'glaring deficiencies.......we can only hope he has learned a hard lesson about blind loyalty because it will not be the last time he will have to fire a friend.

As a Weber State Student… I miss jay hill so much. As a lifelong BYU fan… it’s a worthy sacrifice

The scary thing is our defense is looking like it will be even better next season. In my opinion it will really just come down to how the defensive end position shows up, and if our starters stay healthy. Defensive end is certainly the biggest question mark right now, but there are some very promising players that could step up. 2025 will be so fun.

A defensive guru! If BYU can figure out their offense, they could be in the CFP 2025.

He’s from Brockton… lol whst

Thank you finally some one recognizes Jay Hill he is an insane dc. Go cougs!!!

Very well done video and well made, significant points. Now let’s see AJ make some points!

Great content man, just found the channel, keep it up!

Last time I looked Notre Dame was a private school!

well the real reason why they chose byu over other schools was cuz byu has an honor code and they dont allow alc and weed on campus and the coach was a former nba coach and they believed they could develop aj the best

This has been thoroughly debunked. It takes two seconds to take a look at his away games vs his home games, and even if you use the away game stats... he's still legendary.

the background music made this hard to listen to...too loud

take the helmets (weapons) away and teach them to tackle (wrap) ! i’ve played rugby for 35 years. maybe 2 concussions!!!

The nfl today is what byu was back then. All about passing.

Weird. None of this seems true

But BYU has never been good

He is from Utah. They are always going to have the upper hand

Trust me it wasn’t strictly about money at BYU, and will never be about the money with future athletes at BYU I am sure they offer fair compensation, but the school and culture is notoriously. Well let me put it like this looking for a good deal. lol 😂

So. Ryan Smith and BYU are going to buy an NCAA championship. For this kid, he will find he has to live in Mormon hell. The picture of monks playing basketball? That is such bullshit. The picture should have been of patriarchal extremist Rightwingers in MAGA hats.

Wasn’t about the money

Kansas st offered him millions more

BYU has a huge alumni that has millions if not millions of dollars that they love notating to BYU..!

Ya, but all other players went to. Big ass school. LSU, Georgia & Cal. ! I think AJ has a chance to jump right into something that’s gonna be great..! Plus I’ve heard him say multiple times that he loves being in the state of Utah. So I think it’s a win-win situation for him and his family..!

I hope he sticks it out. And eventually becomes a Utah Jazz player..🤘

No black athlete should Consider byu honestly

If a guy shoots a fade away after your pass, it's not an assist 🤷
