Yesterday, BYU basketball head coach Dave Rose mentioned in his afternoon media session that the Cougars had an international player lined up to join the program this season, until he ran into test score issues:
I asked BYU coach Dave Rose today why he doesn't recruit more international players. After asking me why I "always" ask him about it, he said they had a foreign guy lined up, "ready to go this year," but that player didn't get the required test score at BYU.

That player is Russian forward Agasiy Tonoyan, and BYU and Agasiy are still hopeful that he will join the team next season.
