Dressed to the nines in a suit and blue tie, the face of BYU basketball explained why, for the second straight offseason, he chose to stay as No. 23 in Provo.
Instead, in a room filled with teammates, coaches and family members, the senior-to-be explained why he isn’t pursuing the money and what he wants out of his last season as a Cougar.
“I just want to go all out,” Childs said, “and make something special happen for BYU.”
There’s still work to be done, he said, to help get Cougar basketball back to where he believe it belongs: part of the equation in late March, part of deep NCAA Tournament runs, part of making the Marriott Center the ear-splitting crowd it can be at its roaring apex.
