Heading to Provo, Brody Kozlowski, a standout four-star recruit from Corner Canyon, is taking a new path after initially committing to USC. He recently announced on social media that he's reversing course, opting to sign with BYU. This decision comes in the wake of coaching changes, with USC's Andy Enfield departing for SMU.
Interestingly, Kozlowski had initially considered BYU before committing to USC, having been recruited by Mark Pope, who has since moved on to Kentucky. Now, under the new leadership of Kevin Young, BYU's new head coach, Kozlowski is rekindling his connection with the university. Young, who brings a fresh perspective and a focus on NBA talent, has made a compelling pitch to Kozlowski, making him the coach's first recruit at BYU.
For Kozlowski, this decision is not just about basketball; it's a family affair. His mother, Kristen Kozlowski, is a former BYU basketball player who now works for BYUtv, adding a personal touch to his ties with the university.
As for Young, his work is far from over. He's still in the process of solidifying his coaching staff and has to address the status of players like point guard Dallin Hall and shooting guard Richie Saunders, who are currently in the transfer portal. Saunders, in fact, was on a visit to Kentucky with Pope just recently, adding another layer of intrigue to the ongoing developments at BYU.
Despite the uncertainties, Young is forging ahead, with plans to complete his coaching staff early this week. The future looks bright for Kozlowski and BYU under Young's guidance, promising an exciting new chapter for both the player and the program.
