For the second time in as many months, the BYU basketball program has been the benefactor of a "Woj Bomb". On Tuesday, Wojnarwoski reported that international star Egor Demin committed to Kevin Young and the BYU basketball program. Demin, who currently plays for Real Madrid in Europe, is one of the top prospects in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Since Demin is not a traditional recruiting prospect, he hasn't received a star rating from evaluators yet. Since star ratings are based on pro potential, however, it's likely that Demin will be a five-star recruit once he is evaluated. Demin will likely be a one-and-done at BYU, something that BYU fans are not accustomed to. He has the potential to be the first first-round NBA draft pick out of BYU since Jimmer Fredette.
Demin has elite size as a guard at 6'8. His size, mixed with his well-rounded game on offense, are what make him one of the top prospects in the 2025 NBA Draft. He is comfortable handling the ball, he can distribute and create offense, and he can knock down threes. He will make an instant impact at BYU.
Getting Demin on board is another feather in the cap of new BYU coach Kevin Young. Since his hiring at BYU, Young has had a lot of recruiting success. In his introductory press conference, Kevin Young said he hopes to create an NBA pipeline at BYU. The first step to creating an NBA pipeline is elite recruiting. It's still early, but Kevin Young is recruiting at a level to create a pipeline from BYU to the NBA.Casey Lundquist is the publisher and lead editor of Cougs Daily.
