BYU Basketball Sticks One To Archrival Utah Utes With Their Chris Burgess Hire Locked On Cougars - Daily Podcast On BYU Cougars Football & Basketball

The BYU Cougars got another boost the BYU men's basketball program with their hire of Utah Utes associate head coach Chris Burgess to join Kevin Young's staff at Brigham Young University (BYU), bringing Burgess back to the BYU basketball program after two years on Craig Smith's University of Utah Runnin' Utes staff and Jake is thrilled with the hire.

JT Wistrcill and Jake Hatch then talked about the state of both the Utes and Cougars programs when it comes to the NCAA Transfer Portal as BYU appears to be in better shape despite not a ton of additions yet whereas the Utes have seen their top-end talent exit the program via the transfer portal or graduation and it's not ideal for Utah entering the Big 12 Conference.

Finally, the show wrapped up with some thoughts on the interest both the BYU football and Utah football programs had in Utah State Aggies quarterback McCae Hillstead and why he ultimately picked Kalani Sitake and the Cougars over Kyle Whittingham and the Utes and what it could portend for BYU as they are joined by Utah in the Big 12 this fall.
