The BYU men’s basketball program has extended scholarship offers to three top players at nearby prep powerhouse Wasatch Academy, according to a source familiar with the players’ recruitment.
Nationally ranked, four-star big man Mady Sissoko, former Riverton standout guard Richie Saunders and Brazilian slasher Leonardo Colimerio are all being hotly pursued by Coach Dave Rose’s staff over the past year. In addition to being teammates at Wasatch (along with 2019 BYU commit Bernardo Da Silva), the trio also play together on the Utah Mountain Stars AAU team, coached by BYU legend Marty Haws.
All three players have received significant interest from several high-major programs, but sources say BYU remains firmly in the mix with a solid chance to land each.
