PLEASANT GROVE — It’s been eight years since former BYU superstar Jimmer Fredette concluded his memorable senior season, helping lead the Cougars to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, and earning consensus national player-of-the-year honors.
Fredette still follows his alma mater closely. He said he's “excited” about the changes that the basketball program has undergone this spring, including the retirement of Dave Rose after a 14-year run as head coach.
