  • Tuesday’s BYU-Baylor clash is drawing hordes of NBA scouts – Deseret News


    Two of the top freshmen guards and 2025 NBA draft prospects in the country, BYU’s Egor Demin and Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe, will square off Tuesday night when the Cougars host the Bears in a pivotal Big 12 battle at the Marriott Center.

    Naturally, it has drawn the attention of pro scouts, who are expected to flock to Provo to watch the teenagers who are expected to be one-and-done college players and enter June’s draft, although Demin has pointed out several times this season that he has never said anything definitive on the matter.

    “There has been a lot of traffic in and out of here. I get calls all the time. A bunch of people coming tomorrow as well,” BYU coach Kevin Young said Monday in his weekly press briefing via Zoom.

    How many scouts are expected?

    BYU basketball spokesperson Tyson Jex reported that as of 2 p.m. Monday afternoon, 26 scouts representing 13 NBA teams had requested credentials.

    “It is the most we have had this year,” Jex said. “I know that off the top of my head.”

    BYU (13-6, 4-4) and Demin didn’t play well the past two times that dozens of NBA scouts flocked to the Cougars’ games, losing 83-64 at Providence and 86-55 at Houston. Demin went 0 for 10 from the field (but was 6 of 6 from the line) on Dec. 3 at Providence while battling a knee contusion that would sideline him the remainder of the month, and was 1 of 6 at Houston, with seven assists and three turnovers.

    The 18-year-old from Moscow, Russia, has played significantly better the past two games, going 4 of 7 for eight points and seven assists in the win at Colorado and 3 of 5 for 15 points and seven assists in the 80-52 crushing of Cincinnati last Saturday.

    “Certainly it is a step in the right direction for him. He is a guy, even when he was going through some rough times, his confidence never really wavered. I think he was just trying to figure things out. When I say figure things out, I just mean the style of play, defenses, who he is playing with, and so forth,” Young said of the young star.

    “I think a lot of things are starting to get smoothed out for him. You have a game like that where you make shots, and you make free throws, I definitely think it will give him an added boost of confidence,” Young continued. “But I have been happy with how he has approached going through some tough times.”

    After Saturday’s game, Demin said he is feeling “better and better” with each passing day and feeling “more and more comfortable” with the physical, rugged style of basketball played in the Big 12.

    Demin said he is looking forward to facing Baylor and Edgecombe, having followed the successful program and highly recruited prospect from the Bahamas even when he was playing in Europe.

    Edgecombe, 19, a 6-foot-5 wing, has played well all season, but has really upped his production the past six games. He had 30 and 21 points, respectively, in blowouts of Kansas State and Utah last week and is averaging 14.2 points, second on the team behind 6-foot-7 forward Norchad Omier’s 15.4.

    “Yeah, VJ is dynamic. He is one of the most dynamic players in the country. He has got a lot of upside,” Young said. “Athletically, they are really good, not just with him, but across the board.”

    With Baylor’s NET ranking standing at 28 and BYU’s at 38, it will be one of the marquee games in all of college basketball on Tuesday night, and not just because of the matchup of fabulous freshmen. It will also begin a string where eight of BYU’s next nine games are Quad 1 games, if current rankings hold.

    “It is going to be a really big matchup, and I am glad we get them here,” said another of BYU’s players who is starting to draw some NBA attention, 6-5 junior wing Richie Saunders.

    Baylor (13-6, 5-3) edged BYU 81-72 last January at the new Foster Pavilion in Waco, Texas, then fell 78-71 on Feb. 20 in Provo despite enjoying a 21-9 advantage at the free-throw line in a physical game that featured 35 fouls.

    Neither Langston Love (ankle) nor Jeremy Roach (concussion) played against Utah, and both are day-to-day for Tuesday night’s game, a Baylor basketball spokesperson told the Tribune-Herald of Waco.

    “As athletic as they are, I think we play a bit faster. So it will be interesting matchup stylistically,” Young said. “We will have to do a good job of neutralizing their athleticism with good team defense, and then (use) our ability to space the floor on the other end and make quick decisions like we like to play.”

    Scouts will probably keep an eye on another BYU freshman, 6-9 forward Kanon Catchings, as well. A four-star recruit who was rated No. 35 in the ESPN Top 100 but has struggled to adjust to the physicality of the college game, Catchings hasn’t scored in double figures since getting 11 in the Big 12 opener against Arizona State. But the Indiana native did have a good game off the bench against Cincinnati, going 3 of 5 from deep.

    “We obviously have an NBA lens on everything that we are doing. So like, when I talk to my friends in the NBA, yeah, I think those guys are clearly on radars,” Young said of Demin and Catchings. “… So we have had no shortage of eyes on those guys. A lot of that stuff kind of plays itself out as the season goes along, and as draft season goes along, as workouts go along, as interviews go along.

    “So yeah, I do think they will be there (in the NBA) sooner rather than later, but that is a relative statement,” Young concluded.

    The highly anticipated matchup between BYU and Baylor on Tuesday night is not only attracting college basketball fans, but also drawing the attention of NBA scouts. Both teams are loaded with talent and potential future NBA players, making this game a must-watch for scouts looking to evaluate top prospects.

    BYU boasts a dynamic duo in Alex Barcello and Caleb Lohner, who have been turning heads with their impressive performances this season. Barcello, a senior guard, is a skilled playmaker and sharpshooter, while Lohner, a sophomore forward, has been dominating on both ends of the court.

    On the other side, Baylor features a talented roster led by guards James Akinjo and Adam Flagler, who have been key contributors to the team’s success. Akinjo, a transfer from Arizona, is a dynamic scorer and facilitator, while Flagler is a sharpshooter who can light it up from beyond the arc.

    With so much talent on display, NBA scouts will be closely monitoring this game to evaluate the players’ skills, potential, and readiness for the next level. This matchup could have a significant impact on the draft stock of several players, making it a crucial opportunity for them to showcase their abilities on a big stage.

    Don’t miss out on the action as BYU and Baylor face off in what promises to be a thrilling showdown with NBA implications. Tune in to see which players rise to the occasion and catch the attention of scouts looking for the next big star in college basketball.

  • Newcastle United dispatch scouts to watch ‘superstar’ as Eddie Howe steals a march


    Newcastle United are looking to sign an attacker with a real eye for goal.

    The Magpies have been fortunate enough to have Alexander Isak at their disposal this season. The Swede is the Premier League’s third-highest scorer with 15, only Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah have more.

    Isak has been hailed as the Premier League’s best centre-forward by many. Ally McCoist recently said Isak was the best “by a country mile.

    Despite Isak’s fine form, they struggle to find where the goals come from if he is not available. Anthony Gordon is having a fine season thanks to his 10-goal contributions in the league. However, there are just five other players who have scored for Newcastle this season, the lowest in the Premier League.

    William Osula showed signs that he has a chance to replace Isak in the future thanks to his wonderful goal in Newcastle’s win against Bromley. Elsewhere, Callum Wilson is out injured and is out of contract in the summer, so there is a need to buy.

    With Newcastle eyeing a quality striker, there is one name who keeps cropping up. Now, a recent report has stated that the Magpies sent an executive to watch him recently.

    Newcastle send scout to watch Jonathan David

    LOSC Lille forward Jonathan David has been in exceptional form for the French side this season. He is joint-top scorer in Ligue 1 with 11 goals to his name.

    David; who has been hailed as a “superstar”, has also had a fantastic run in the Champions League, scoring six goals in 10 games across the qualifiers and the league phase.

    Newcastle want to sign David who is out of contract in the summer. Early signs suggest the 25-year-old does not want to stay at Lille and will look for a move away upon the expiry of his contract.

    According to The Chronicle, Newcastle were represented by a high-level club employee at Lille’s game against Nice on Friday.

    Nikos Mavromaras; David’s agent, has stated that his client is open to options around Europe.

    The report states that qualifying for the Champions League would give Newcastle a massive boost in the race to sign David.

    The Canadian is not short of interest from elsewhere, however. It was recently reported that West Ham boss Graham Potter hoped to beat Newcastle to David and make him his first signing at the Hammers.

    The scouting mission is a sign that Eddie Howe is keen to gain the advantage in the race to sign the forward who also has interest from Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United.

    Newcastle must splash the cash for David

    Although David will be available on a free, he is still expected to come with a hefty wage bill. The same Chronicle report states that David is demanding around £120,000 per week from interested parties.

    That wage would make him one of the highest earners at the club, but not the highest. That title currently belongs to Bruno Guimaraes who earns around £160,000 per week.

    Appearances Goals Assists
    Jonathan David 30 17 7

    A bonus for Newcastle is that David can also play as a winger. The Magpies are keen to sign a winger with Miguel Almiron’s Newcastle departure imminent.

    It allows Newcastle to form a formidable front line of Gordon, Isak and David. An attacking line-up most Premier League clubs would surely be fearful of.

    Newcastle United dispatch scouts to watch ‘superstar’ as Eddie Howe steals a march

    Newcastle United’s new manager Eddie Howe is wasting no time in identifying potential targets for the January transfer window, as reports emerge that the club has dispatched scouts to watch a ‘superstar’ player in action.

    The Magpies are keen to bolster their squad in order to climb out of the relegation zone and secure their Premier League status for next season. With Howe at the helm, Newcastle are hoping to attract top talent to St James’ Park.

    The player in question has not been named, but sources suggest that he is a highly-rated individual who could make a significant impact in the Premier League. Newcastle’s scouts will be keeping a close eye on his performances in the coming weeks.

    Fans will be eagerly awaiting any updates on potential signings, as Newcastle look to turn their season around under the guidance of their new manager. With Howe’s track record of developing young talent and playing attractive football, the future looks bright for the Magpies.

  • Manchester United scouts watch ‘very annoying’ 18-goal striker who is ‘similar’ to Viktor Gyokeres

    Manchester United scouts watch ‘very annoying’ 18-goal striker who is ‘similar’ to Viktor Gyokeres


    Manchester United splashed the cash on a new striker over the summer but Joshua Zirkzee’s future already looks unclear.

    Manchester United has become a graveyard for top talents over the last 10 years.

    The likes of Raphael Varane, Paul Pogba, Angel Di Maria, Romelu Lukaku and Radamel Falcao have enjoyed huge success elsewhere but didn’t live up to expectations at United.

    Even top young players such as Antony, Rasmus Hojlund and Jadon Sancho have found United a difficult home to fulfil their potential.

    Joshua Zirkzee may be the latest name to join that list having so far struggled at Old Trafford.

    United signed Zirkzee from Bologna over the summer but his lack of goals has been a concern and fans even cheered Zirkzee off as he was substituted against Newcastle United on Monday.

    Manchester United scout red-hot striker

    Juventus remain interested in Zirkzee and it would not be a huge surprise to see him leave in 2025 having struggled so far.

    United are unsurprisingly looking at other strikers, possibly with the idea of replacing Zirkzee in the near future.

    The Daily Mail report that United scouts were watching Porto in action against Boavista on Saturday with striker Samu Aghehowa believed to be the target.

    Samu only joined Porto from Atletico Madrid over the summer but he has seriously impressed this season.

    Aghehowa has now scored 18 goals in 21 games for Porto this season and scored twice in a 4-0 thrashing of Boavista.

    United may not be in a position to move for Aghehowa in January given the club’s financial restrictions, but he is certainly a name to keep tabs on for the summer.

    Key:

    Position 1 – 4 : Champions League
    Position 5 : UEFA Europa League
    Position 18 – 20 : Relegation

    Who is United target Samu Aghehowa?

    Aghehowa was born in Melilla to Nigerian parents and started out in the Granada ranks, scoring 18 times in 36 games for their B team.

    The 20-year-old joined Atletico in 2023 but was loaned straight to Alaves, scoring eight goals in La Liga last season.

    Aghehowa – who went by ‘Samu Omorodion’ last season – has now earned a first Spain cap having been on fire for Porto.

    A huge presence at 6ft 4in tall, Aghehowa has already shown United what he is all about with two goals against United in the Europa League this season.

    Barcelona’s Deco has even compared the ‘very annoying’ Aghehowa to Viktor Gyokeres, the man who couldn’t stop scoring under Ruben Amorim at Sporting.

    “They are both similar. Samu is physically strong and can easily get to the goal. Last season, against Barcelona, he scored a goal and had two or three chances. He is a player who is very annoying, who is very strong and who can have a big impact in the Portuguese league,” Deco told O Jogo.

    That may well excite United fans given the admiration for Gyokeres and Amorim may well be keeping one eye on the Portuguese market.

    Manchester United scouts have been keeping a close eye on an 18-goal striker who has drawn comparisons to Viktor Gyokeres. The young forward has been making waves in the football world with his impressive goal-scoring record and playing style.

    The scouts have been impressed with the striker’s ability to find the back of the net and his work rate on the field. Despite being just 18 years old, he has already shown great potential and is seen as a future star in the making.

    One United scout described the striker as “very annoying” to play against, highlighting his tenacity and determination to score goals. The comparison to Gyokeres, who is currently playing for Coventry City, has further piqued the interest of the Manchester United recruitment team.

    It remains to be seen whether United will make a move for the talented young striker, but one thing is for sure – he is definitely a player to watch out for in the future. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting prospect!
