Fine
Here is my answer. Going to a "smaller" school will give the LDS Star more attention like Jimmer received and like Lance71 said there are a lot of LDS girls.

Point is that BYU gave Jimmer an awesome platform to become uber-famous.

This is such an obvious and easy answer. LDS Girl populations at BYU.

I would find it 'beyond shocking' if Church asked Parker to not go on mission.

It's only our opinions so we disagree. Laittner didn't do much in NBA either

No. 1 scorer doesn't equal best. Even in the NBA that's not true.

The "Jabari was told not to go on a mission" has 0 chance of being true.

The church would never encourage someone not to serve no matter their situation

Because they don't do that, ever. They used to, but that was a long time ago.
