BYU Basketball Player Preview: Jamal Aytes is ready to get his groove back

After a long layoff, Jamal Aytes is set to make an impact for the Cougars.

On November 30, 2013, UNLV defeated Tennessee-Martin, 85-55, at the Thomas and Mack Center.

Why am I talking about a totally innocuous game from two seasons ago? Because it was the last game Jamal Aytes played in.

It has been a crazy long wait for the former Rebel. Assuming he gets playing time for the Cougars in the regular season opener against Utah Valley on November 13, it will have been a whopping 713 days since he last set foot on the court in a competitive game.
