PROVO — The European hoop scene will be scoured by BYU’s basketball program this summer.

Lee Cummard, who spent seven years playing in Europe as a professional after his BYU career, was recently hired by head coach Dave Rose and in the ever-important recruiting month of July, Cummard received permission to take a trip to the Old World to recruit.

Cummard discussed this assignment during an interview on 1280 The Zone sports radio on Monday, while another Rose assistant Tim LaComb was the co-host with regular Pat Kinahan.

Cummard said BYU will not be jumping into European recruiting just for the sake of saying they are doing it.
