A year ago, BYU was a young team with no seniors and eight sophomores on the roster. 11 players were not on the team the season prior, and the team needed the offseason to figure out how to blend all the new pieces together.
Fast forward to today where BYU now has a team with 2 seniors, 8 juniors and only 4 players who were not part of the team last season.
Gone is leading scorer Elijah Bryant, who left early to play pro ball in Israel. Big man Payton Dastrup decided to transfer to Oregon State, and Braiden Shaw and Ryan Andrus left the team for medical reasons.
