BYU Cougars Basketball Team Adds Serbian Big Man Mihailo Boskovic

BYU basketball coach Kevin Young made a big addition to the roster this week. Mihailo Boskovic was added to the Cougars roster and is available immediately.

Boskovic is 6’10” and can shoot outside. He has also shown the ability to protect the basket on the defensive end. He is not a traditional freshman coming into a program, as he was the MVP of the FIBA ​​Europe U20 Tournament. He won the award over Bobi Klintman, who was selected 37th overall by the Pistons in the 2024 NBA draft.

Boskovic had a pre-draft workout with the Sacramento Kings last summer but opted to withdraw his name early in the process.

This means seven new hires for the Cougars in addition to the eight players now remaining on the roster. Mark Pope’s departure.

Coach Young added a star from abroad in Egor Demin and now he’s bringing in Boskovic to help inside the program, replacing Keba Keita and Mawot Mag, who left the program. Keita went to Utah and Mag is now at Rutgers.
