PROVO, Utah – BYU basketball is set for a big week, beginning with some big news on Monday.
The Cougars announced that they have received a commitment from 5-star recruit Dallin Hall. Hall is a 6-foot-9 forward from American Fork, Utah. He is considered one of the top recruits in the country and is ranked as the No. 1 player in the state of Utah.
“We are thrilled to have Dallin join our program,” BYU coach Mark Pope said. “He is a special player who has a chance to be one of the best players in the country. We can’t wait to see what he can accomplish in a BYU uniform.”
Hall’s commitment is a big boost for BYU’s recruiting class. The Cougars now have three 5-star recruits committed for the 2023 class.
BYU is coming off a 25-10 season in which they won the West Coast Conference regular season championship. The Cougars lost to San Diego State in the WCC Tournament championship game.
BYU opens the 2023-24 season on Nov. 7 against Idaho State. The Cougars will then host No. 1 North Carolina on Nov. 11.
BYU has been one of the most successful basketball programs in the country in recent years. The Cougars have won 20 or more games in each of the past six seasons. They have also made three NCAA Tournament appearances in that span.
BYU’s success has been built on a foundation of strong recruiting. The Cougars have consistently landed some of the top recruits in the country. Hall’s commitment is just the latest example of that.
Hall’s commitment is a major coup for BYU. He is one of the top recruits in the country and is expected to make an immediate impact on the Cougars’ program. Hall’s presence should help BYU compete for a WCC championship and make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
There has been some controversy surrounding Hall’s commitment to BYU. Some critics have questioned whether Hall is a good fit for the Cougars’ system. However, Pope has defended Hall’s commitment and said that he believes Hall has the potential to be a star at BYU.
BYU fans are excited about Hall’s commitment. They believe that he can help the Cougars take the next step and become a national contender.
