In this episode of Y’s Guys, hosts Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler dive into a wide range of BYU sports news, including BYU Basketball roster moves, BYU Football recruiting updates, national championships across multiple programs, and interviews with special guests from BYU Cheer, the BYU Dunk Team, and Carlos Iglesias.
BYU Basketball headlines the show with Richie Saunders’ return, the addition of Kennard Davis Jr. and Dominique Diomande, and a Top 10 preseason ranking according to ESPN. Meanwhile, Brody Kozlowski confirms he’s staying, and Jimmer Fredette officially retires from competitive basketball. On the football side, BYU lands a major 2026 commit, Bott Mulitalo, flipping him from Oregon, and continues to await a decision from five-star QB Ryder Lyons.
The first guests of the night are members of the BYU Cheer Squad—Ammon Montenegro, Andrew Pickett, Kylie Wood, and Kylie Doxey—who discuss winning a national title in the Game Day division and reflect on the passion, fun, and energy of cheering at BYU games, including working alongside Cosmo and the ROC.
Next up is Dave Eberhard, director of the BYU Dunk Team, who shares the history and behind-the-scenes secrets of one of BYU’s most popular halftime attractions. He explains the audition process, the intense prep behind each show, and the excitement of preparing for future dunk collaborations with BYU Basketball stars like AJ Dybantsa.
Finally, Carlos Iglesias returns to discuss how basketball camps in Africa are helping improve lives far beyond the court. He highlights the impact of former BYU players like Keba Keita, the importance of clean water projects, and how fans can support Africa Elite Basketball Camps.
