PROVO, Utah (AP) — BYU basketball players and coaches say they see a different Brandon Davies, one motivated to take advantage of the second chance he’s received after being reinstated following his honor-code violation.
The team returned from a 10-day, five-game trip to Greece late Thursday and learned Friday that the junior center was being reinstated.
On Monday, they saw Davies on campus for the first day of classes.
BYU coach Dave Rose said he was proud of Davies for the way he handled himself after the honor-code violation was revealed, and how he responded positively to all the negative publicity as the Cougars chased a national championship.
The school does not discuss the nature of suspensions and did not make Davies available for comment.
