PROVO — One conspicuous aspect of the new BYU basketball coaching staff is that three of them — head coach Mark Pope and assistants Chris Burgess and Nick Robinson — were highly touted high school prospects who were recruited to BYU as players but chose to play elsewhere.
Now, they’re tasked with the responsibility of recruiting players to the Cougar basketball program.
Pope announced Wednesday the addition of Cody Fueger, Burgess and Robinson to his staff and Thursday, he introduced them to the media.
Pope, who was hired on April 10, played at Washington and Kentucky; Burgess played at Duke and Utah; and Robinson played at Stanford.
