BYU Basketball: Sampling the 2013 Cougar Recruiting Class

BYU's basketball team is comfortable with a current 5-2 record and a likely 20-plus win season. An NCAA tourney bid is likely, and although the current situation looks good, the future appears even brighter.

The 2013 Cougars recruiting class already includes five commits, two of which are four-star players. ESPN's Dave Telep has said it could be the school's greatest class, and it very well could be.

As Jabari Parker, the nation's second-best high school player is still considering the Cougs, here is a sampling of next year's class.

A current teammate of Emery's, Eric Mika could be a fine replacement for Brandon Davies next year. A 6'9" center, Mika has the size to play D-1 basketball. Paired with Josh Sharp and Nate Austin, he could help bring dominance to BYU's frontcourt.

High School: Homestead (Wis.)

Status: Signed, 9/2/12

Height, Weight: 6'9'', 240 lbs

Luke Worthington is not BYU's most highly touted recruit, nor is he the most talented, but Worthington has plenty of potential and an unexpected three-star rating. After receiving offers from Princeton, Davidson, and Penn, the 6'9" forward decided to become a Cougar only a few months ago.
