Texas Tech is lucky they aren’t coming Provo this year. We might not have given their visiting fans free ice cream.

Today is a great day. The Mariners have a BYU alum on the 26-man roster. BYU alumni night is August 22 for the Mariners, would be cool if he makes it to that.

6'11", 225-pound Ilia Frolov is in the process of committing to play college basketball next year. He has been contacted by Penn State, NC State, Arkansas and many others. I watched him live last year at Adidas EuroCamp and this past season on film with Real Madrid U22. League statistics: 23.3 MPG, 13.5 PPG, 7.4 RPG, 1.0 APG, 2.0 TOV, 1.1 STL, and 0.5 BLK. Strengths: - 3-point shooting: 36% (22/61) - Free throws: 84.6% (a strong indicator for his future jumper) - Finishes well at the rim - Solid footwork and touch, both facing up and playing with his back to the basket - Can make plays out of the post - Excellent per minute rebounder - Strong screen-setter who can pop out, short roll, or rim roll; also a trail 3-point threat. He ranks among Europe’s top 2008-born players, known for his coachability and strong work ethic. With a strength and conditioning program, he has a promising future ahead.

Kevin Young will go back to the NBA at some point. Maybe it’s this offseason, maybe it’s 5 years from now. He’s a NBA guy.

BYU had the relationships and starting role with Ruzic, LSU was able to offer more money and that won out.
