The 2016 BYU basketball recruiting class currently has six verbal commitments in Steven Beo (Richland, WA), who is coming as a preferred walk-on, Gavin Baxter (Orem, Utah), Connor Harding (Pocatello, ID), Yoeli Childs (American Fork, Utah), and Elon transfer Elijah Bryant, who is technically part of the Class of 2015 but will sit out 2015-16 due to NCAA transfer rules. BYU recently added graduate transfer L.J. Rose (Houston, TX) who joins the BYU Class of 2016 but was originally part of Baylor’s Class of 2012. The only real miss for this recruiting class is Frank Jackson who signed with Duke.
