Kevin Young and the BYU basketball program continue to prioritize international prospects as they build the roster for the 2024-2025 season. On Wednesday, BYU added European professional Mihailo Boskovic to the roster. Bokovic is a 6-foot-10 big that can stretch the floor with his shooting ability. He can also defend the rim.
Boskovic has been playing professional basketball in Bosnia. He is 22 years old, so he's older than the typical freshman. His time in the professional ranks should also aid his transition to the college game. He is the former MVP of the FIBA Europe U-20 tournament.

Boskovic gives BYU an experienced stretch four on the roster. The Cougars were lacking a stretch four with experience after Noah Waterman entered the transfer portal. Boskovic fills that void, and he's arguably an upgrade at that position over Waterman. He has the ability to push for minutes right away and create space for the BYU offense. Below is a recap of where the BYU basketball roster stands as of today.

4 Iowa State Cyclones Role Players Who Could Be Impact Performers in Men's Basketball
Everything Tennessee Basketball HC Rick Barnes Said Following Exhibition with Duke Basketball
The No. 6 Duke Blue Devils traveled to Knoxville for an exhibition game vs. No. 18 Tennessee Volunteers on Sunday night. The Vols was fall short as Duke would leave with an 83-76 win over the home team. Rick Barnes would join the waiting press following the contest to field rapid fire questions from reporters. What Did Coach Rick Barnes Learn About the Team “What I like, we went up against a really good team, one of the best players in the country, and he did it. He was terrific. Cameron Boozer, what can you say about him? 24 points, 23 rebounds. I thought our guys, I do think coming into this game, I do like the preparation. I knew it was going to be new for a bunch of them. I appreciate Jon (Scheyer) and Duke doing this. I think we will both learn tremendously. We’ll learn a lot about this, about ourselves. I thought both teams really competed. Physical game this time of year. I think they wanted to come and play against a physical team. I thought they did a great job of being physical. I thought we were not as physical as we were a year ago. We got to get there. We do need to get there. We’re not there yet. “I did not like, I didn’t think we executed. I thought we let our offense dictate what happened on the defensive end. Guys came out and they were making shots, got away, gave up way too many baskets on things that we covered in practice. Give them credit. They are long on the primer. They got guys that can pass the ball. Big team, long team. And we didn’t do a good job with ball pressure overall. Do I think we tried to fight and do what we need to do? We did, but we can’t get beat on the glass the way we did. That’s been a major emphasis in the off-season. "Give them credit for that. Then the free throws. I mean, think about it. They were 25-for-27 and we were 10-for-14. We should have been better than that, but we just settled for some shots that weren’t good shots. And I thought that was being young a little bit, just wanting to hope you make a shot. Then we let the fact that certain guys let the offense get in their head, and we weren’t effective defensively. Everything can be fixed, but we’ve got to do that. “Also, I didn’t think we were great coming out the timeout. Executing some of the things that we wanted to do. Then we had a couple lineups there that we just want to see what could happen and just try to learn some things about our team. It was great for us. I think Jon will say the same thing, and they have a terrific team. I love these games. I think it’s really important we get a chance to do this, but we’ve got a lot to learn from it. We’ll see if we can do it really," Barnes detailed. Click HERE to watch and listen to everything Rick Barnes said.

Marcus Spears jokes about Howie Roseman after latest Eagles trade: ‘I hate him’
The Philadelphia Eagles got the ball rolling over 24 hours before the NFL trade deadline. Jaelan Phillips will join the Eagles via the Miami Dolphins, adding an impact pass rusher. It’s the type of move we have come accustomed to from Philadelphia general manager Howie Roseman in recent years. ESPN’s Marcus Spears is fed up with Roseman, at least when he has his Dallas Cowboys fan hat on. Spears is just like plenty of other people in Dallas, watching their bitter NFC East rivals continue to push for Super Bowls. “I hate Howie,” Spears said. “I hate him. I’m so sick of him. I’ve been sick of him for a couple years now… Howie knows I don’t hate him. I actually admire the way he goes after winning championships and does not wait. You think about the Eagles for the last four years — going to Super Bowls, having opportunities to win them. He’s made a significant trade, at some point, in all of those seasons.” Roseman lifted the Lombardi Trophy in February, then watched the banner be unveiled at Lincoln Financial Field before the Eagles and Cowboys played. Philadelphia emerged as a winner, starting their Super Bowl defense 1-0. Now, the record sits at 6-2 overall in a wide-open NFC, and Roseman appears to have his sights on another championship. Spears has nothing but respect for the way Roseman conducts business. You have to imagine many across the league feel the same way. But they may just express it in the same way Spears did, coming at it with a little jealousy. Dallas Cowboys yet to make move ahead of NFL trade deadline This one may even sting a little more because Dallas is searching for a player who can get after quarterbacks too. Philadelphia wound up sending a third-round pick to Miami, something the Cowboys do not currently have. The Pittsburgh Steelers have that due to the George Pickens trade. Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones hinted, if not told us, something is on the way soon. When speaking to Stephen A. Smith on the radio, Jones claimed a trade is done and will be released on Tuesday, just hours after the team plays on Monday Night Football against the Arizona Cardinals. “Immediately it will have him on the field and it will address some of the things that have been our shortcomings,” Jones said via Jon Machota of The Athletic.

Cowboys Announce Major Roster News Before Cardinals Game
All eyes are on the Dallas Cowboys, set to play the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9 of the NFL season. As the Cowboys prepare for a matchup against the Cardinals on "Monday Night Football," Dallas announced some big news regarding the roster. On Monday, the Cowboys announced that they have activated center Cooper Beebe. Beebe entered the season as the starting center, serving as an anchor for the Cowboy's offense and quarterback Dak Prescott's right-hand man. He returned from injured reserve as is designated to return to the Dallas Cowboys after suffering an ankle and foot injury early in the season. Cooper BeeBe has been with then Dallas Cowboys since 2024. He was selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft and has since emerged as one of the Cowboy's top players. Beebe played college football for the Kansas State Wildcats from 2019 to 2023. He was a First-Team All-American in 2022 and a unanimous All-American in 2023 for the Wildcats. The Cowboys' center was also a Three-Time First-Team All-Big 12 player during his college days at Kansas State. Dak Prescott will now have his starting center back, who should give the Dallas Cowboys more security on the offensive line. The Cowboys have already proven to have one of the best offenses in the NFL and it just got better. Several other stars who have flourished this season include George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb and Javonte Williams. Pickens and Williams are playing in their first season with the Cowboys.

Steelers make hard decision to part ways with once-promising defensive player
The Pittsburgh Steelers sought to bolster their secondary during the 2024 NFL season, and an unlikely solution quickly emerged in undrafted free agent Beanie Bishop Jr. In his rookie season, Bishop impressed by intercepting four passes and showing flashes of playmaking ability. However, following the 2024 campaign, it became clear that Pittsburgh wanted more than just Bishop to play a nickel role, and instead, across their secondary. After making several moves to strengthen depth in the secondary, Bishop's role diminished. He was moved to the practice squad, but after the Steelers were reportedly signing wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the practice squad on Monday, Bishop was forced off the roster. It was officially announced on Monday that the Steelers would be releasing Bishop from their practice squad. Bishop’s release underscores the harsh realities of roster management in the NFL. Despite his rookie success, the team clearly prioritized adding depth and flexibility elsewhere, particularly at wide receiver. While Bishop showed potential as a ballhawk, the Steelers’ secondary has now shifted toward veterans and other younger options to solidify the unit. For Bishop, this is likely not the end of his NFL journey, as players with his skill set often find opportunities on other teams or return to practice squads later in the season. Steelers fans will remember his contributions, but the organization appears focused on reshaping the roster for greater overall depth heading into the 2025 season. When the Steelers faced the Aaron Rodgers-led New York Jets during the 2024 NFL season, Bishop rose to the occasion. Targeted by the future Hall of Famer, Bishop answered the call in spectacular fashion, intercepting Rodgers not once, but twice. The performance instantly became a defining moment for the rookie, showcasing his ball-hawking instincts and fearlessness on the field. Ex-Steelers DB steals two footballs from Aaron Rodgers back in 2024 The game did not just make headlines for the on-field heroics. Afterward, Bishop went viral for his heartfelt postgame antics, making it clear that he expected Rodgers to autograph both intercepted footballs he kept. The moment captured the attention of fans and social media alike, cementing Bishop’s reputation as a confident and charismatic young player who was not afraid to make his mark. It is a memory that Bishop and Steelers fans will likely treasure for years to come. Bishop was thrilled to learn that in the 2025 offseason, Rodgers would be joining the Steelers. Rodgers became part of the team for the 2025 season. While it does not appear that the two are currently teammates, the ever-revolving nature of NFL practice squads means this may not be Bishop’s last opportunity in Pittsburgh or in the NFL. His rookie season showed his talent and potential, and there could still be a chance for him to make an impact in the Steel City or elsewhere in the league.
