That being said he would have gone to BYU had the situation been right and having Reid in a sinking ship was not the right time. Had Reid landed Burgess I believe Britton and others would have gone as well.

The Johnson brothers were pretty highly recruited. Stillman White.

I remember the younger Johnson being a prized recruit but not the older

Jeff Johnsen was Utah's first repeat winner of the Mr. Basketball award.

Yep - his signing with the yewts was a significant turning point in the rivalry.

So false. The Johnsen boys, father, cousins, pen pals...always were Utes. Other

Britton may have signed with BYU if Burgess had gone to BYU.

Stillman White was not that prized. Just a late addition to fill a spot at UNC.

RE: Casey Jacobsen ... Did he ever consider BYU?

Supposedly. Cleve recruited him pretty hard before he chose Stanford.

Neither were active members. Nominal "Mormons" don't count, IMO.

Is Chambers even LDS?

Some of his family is. Grew up in the closet in Utah. That's tough.

30 years ago it sure was. I moved here as a BYU Frosh 25 years ago

I moved here 25 years ago too and I still feel the same.

Julius Barnes (non-RM) & Nick Robinson both. Stanford was a wrench in the engine

Mantis Mutu

Was Nick Robinson highly-recruited? I believe Cleveland chose Bobik over him.

boiseman92

4/20/15 9:20pm

I think you're right. He was one of the biggest recruits outa MO his Sr year.
