OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
How dangerous can BYU Basketball be in 2026-27?
Vince Wolfram is joined by Karter Baughan of the Church Ball Podcast on The Field of 68 to break down Kevin Young’s new-look BYU Cougars — from Robert Wright III returning to lead the offense to the additions of Jaxon Kohler, Collin Chandler, Tyler Betsey, Bruce Branch III and more.
Can Wright establish himself as one of the best point guards in college basketball? How does Kohler fit into Kevin Young’s system? Which newcomers could break out? And does this BYU roster have enough depth, shooting and chemistry to make a deep run in March?
Vince and Karter break down the roster, BYU’s biggest strengths and concerns, potential breakout players, the new-look offense and just how high the ceiling could be for the Cougars in 2026-27.
