Through the course of the fall and spring letter of intent days, the Cougars would bolster their lineup. On November 11, Coach Rose announced that Cory Calvert and Jordan Chatman had signed letters of intent to play for BYU. He revealed then that both Calvert and Chatman planned to serve church missions before joining the team, meaning they wouldn't become part of the BYU team until the 2014 - 15 season. Freshman Cooper Ainge, son of former BYU great Danny Ainge, announced he would walk-on at BYU. He plans to play for 1 year before departing on a mission. The spring national Letter of Intent Signing Days began on April 10, 2012 and ran through May 16. On the first day of eligibility, Raúl Delgado and Agustín Ambrosino signed letters of intent. Both will come in as juniors and have two years of eligibility.[7] On April 20, it was announced that Cory Calvert would play one season before going on his mission, just as Ainge is doing, because he wouldn't have time to get into playing shape for the 2014 - 15 season after his mission.[8]
BYU would also get a boost from 2 return missionaries in the form of Tyler Haws and Kyle Rose. Haws would return to BYU on April 18, 2012 to get ready to play. In Haws first season at BYU (2009 - 10), Haws would average 11.3 points and 4.2 rebounds a game while helping BYU to a 30 - 6 record. Rose is the nephew of head coach Dave Rose and will be playing his first regular season for BYU after redshirting the 2009-10 season.[9]
On the April 30 episode of True Blue, it was announced that fall practice would begin October 12. The Blue-White Scrimmage took place on October 24, and the Cougars had their first scrimmage on October 26. BYUtvsports.com and BYUtv provided coverage of the inter-squad match and the scrimmages. All home games and conference road games aired on BYUtv or on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, or ROOT.
BYU Basketball Media Day was held Wednesday, August 10 from 8:30 AM– 2:30 PM. Jarom Jordan recapped the 2011-12 season and then interviewed every player on the 2012-13 BYU Basketball roster. The day ended with a Dave Rose press conference and then player interviews with various media organizations.[10]
It was also announced on Media Day that BYUtv Sports would carry all home broadcasts that ESPN had not picked up while BYUtvsports.com would exclusively carry the 2012 Cougar Classic.[11]

This game was originally scheduled for December 5. However, the day before the game, Utah State player Danny Berger collapsed at practice, stopped breathing, and had to be revived.[44] Berger was in critical condition at a hospital in the Salt Lake City suburb of Murray, but quickly improved and was released on December 8. Both schools agreed to postpone and reschedule the game. On the day of Berger's release, the game's new date of February 19 was announced.[45]
