better schools? I don't think any of these kids owe anything to BYU- we need to get over the mentality of "He's LDS, he wants to/should want to go to BYU" For some kids, that's the case, but if you look at the situation from an unbiased viewpoint, it is an easy decision for an athlete to make.
Then there is the situation where the Church asks for kids to not serve missions, such is the case with Jabari- he was allegedly asked not to (A friend of mine works for the Church and that was the story he gave me)- so my question is, if you get a pass on serving a mission, and you had the opportunity to play for Coach K or Coach Rose, why on earth would you come here to BYU?
