BYU basketball looking to capitalize on WCC’s style of signing transfers

After losing Steven Beo and Davin Guinn two weeks ago, BYU basketball needed to find some backcourt help.

This week, the team announced the transfer of JUCO player Jahshire Hardnett to the program.

The 6-foot guard from Mississippi will look to make an instant impact for BYU basketball this fall.

Looking around the WCC, it seems transfers with instant eligibility (JUCO and graduate transfers) form a successful model.

For example, Gonzaga used three transfers to shore up its backcourt around fifth-year senior Przemek Karnowski and freshman Zach Collins on its path to the Final Four.
