I was in the same ward, seminary as Pollard. He attended both regularly, as he was living with his older brother (not Alan). I remember when Reid came up to recruit him, IIRC it was a few days after Roy Williams came up. BYU never had a chance with him. He was a nationally ranked recruit, and he said Reid came off a little arrogant and assumed LDS players would prefer BYU, so he didn't really try to sell BYU (Sounds like Bronco). Williams, although coach of a prominent program that routinely had Mcdonald's All-Americans and blue-chippers, still made a hard sell for Pollard, realized he was competing against other top-10 programs for his services.

I remember I attended a basketball camp the summer Pollard moved to Kennewick, WA from La Jolla, CA. (I would have been bummed moving from the beach to the desert). Anyway, I wore a BYU T-shirt to camp as a way of letting Scot know I was also LDS. The first time in a little scrimmage I went up for a layup, this huge, hairy hand palmed the ball after it hit the backboard (I guess this would be goaltending?) and threw it across the court. "Not in my house." I looked up at 6'11" Scot, and realized I wasn't going to get any traction wearing my BYU shirt. I was quickly taken out of the scrimmage when a coach realized I was a nobody trying to play with members of our high school's nationally ranked team, and I didn't attend the rest of camp.
