BYU Basketball: Dave Rose announces departures of Jamal Aytes, Davin Guinn and Steven Beo in season-ending Q&A session

Dave Rose held his annual end-of-season press conference with the media Tuesday afternoon. During the 30-minute session, Dave Rose confirmed the departures of Jamal Aytes, Steven Beo and Davin Guinn.

Steven Beo and Davin Guinn were supposed to be walk-on players prior to the season. After roster turnover and having a couple scholarships available, Beo and Guinn were given scholarships for the 2016-2017 season. Rose spoke after the season of wanting to upgrade the roster, and Guinn’s and Beo’s scholarships may have been as year-to-year deals.

Jamal Aytes is on track to graduate and will be a graduate transfer, making him immediately eligible to play his final year elsewhere.

Those movements mean as the roster currently stands, there are no seniors set to play for BYU next season.

Rose also touched on a lot of other points during the media session. Here are some of the highlights:

• Rose wants to hire an assistant coach to replace the departed Terry Nashif by the first or second week of May, but noted that “it could be until the end of May.” He mentioned that he wants to hire someone with extensive recruiting ties.

You can also apply to be a BYU assistant coach! Here’s the job description:

• Guard Elijah Bryant had knee issues this past season, and those issues have yet to be resolved. He will be meeting with a doctor in Atlanta (near his hometown) to discuss possible surgery.

• All 4 returned missionaries will be back on BYU’s roster next season. Seljaas and Ryan Andrus are both home.

• No word on Eric Mika’s NBA decision. He is taking finals this week.
