BYU basketball lands yet another big recruit

Just five days after landing Top-150 recruit Chamberlain Burgess, BYU coach Kevin Young and staff have done it again by getting a pledge from four-star big man Xavion Staton out of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Staton announced his commitment on Monday night on a YouTube live stream on the 247Sports channel.

Here's a snippet of the live stream when Staton made it official.

Staton will join the team next season after completing his senior year at Sierra Vista High School.

Cougar fans are certainly hopeful that this isn't the end of the 2025 class with the No. 1 recruit in the country, AJ Dybantsa, still on the table.

Dybantsa's current crystal ball prediction is heavily favoring BYU.

Either way, you have to marvel at what head coach Kevin Young has done in just six months at BYU.

Staton is 6-foot-10, 210 pounds and one of the best rim protectors/shot blockers in his class.
