might be a harder decision if you replace Duke with UNC. I'd go to BYU but
it's impossible to answer this as my 17 year old self

POLL: If you had scholarship offers from BYU, Utah, and Duke, who would you want
Jericho

I'd rather be a God at BYU than another player at Duke.

Doesn't that depend how good you really are? That's not on the school
RaggaeCoug
9/1/15 3:29pm
If I'm getting an offer from Duke, chances are, I'm pretty good.
Walter Bellhaven
9/1/15 3:31pm
Thats probably not your mindset if you are someone as good as Frank
Utesplease

Depends, are we talking about me, only I'm as good as Frank and 17 years old?
Walter Bellhaven

Take a Duke on the Utah offer and pick BYU

Unfortunately, playing in the WCC would loom very large in my decision.

Tell all the ESPN Top 100 kids at BYU and Gonzaga.
Gentleman Stan
9/1/15 3:35pm
How many of those kdis had actionable Duke offers?
Josef K
9/1/15 3:43pm
Maybe MAYBE Tyler Haws?
Dillinger
9/1/15 3:43pm
nope
BYUheaven
9/1/15 3:55pm
Not even close. Lot's of players on both rosters rated way above him out
Gentleman Stan
9/1/15 4:01pm
Doesn't mean Duke offered them anything.
Dillinger
9/1/15 4:02pm
And? You thought Haws was rated higher than

Can you not read good? Or are you responding to someone else?

Gentleman Stan

Lol. What kind of question is that?
Gentleman Stan
9/1/15 4:00pm
The question is directly related to the hypothetical posed by the OP.
Josef K
9/1/15 4:30pm
Frank likely wouldn't have had he stayed committed to BYU. Would that have made
bagman
9/1/15 6:29pm
No. Some kids commit early to BYU and that prevents them from getting offers
Josef K

Does it really matter what we would say?
CoopDizz

A bunch of liars on this board
Dillinger
9/1/15 3:29pm
That was my thought. How could anyone really serious about basketball
RaggaeCoug
9/1/15 3:30pm
Because I don't let current trends determine my choices in life.
Walter Bellhaven
9/1/15 3:32pm
What about Duke basketball is a "current trend"?
Dillinger
9/1/15 3:34pm
So the chance to play at BYU trumps
RaggaeCoug
9/1/15 3:35pm
Jabari Parker being a top 5 pick had very little, if anything, to do with Duke
Cosmodiar
9/1/15 3:40pm
True, but he was on ESPN every single night. Almost every game was national
Dillinger
9/1/15 3:42pm
Jimmer was on ESPN every night too

You pick the singular time that has ever happened at BYU and use it as an
Dillinger

It was in the last 5 years. Recency=relevancy.
Gentleman Stan
9/2/15 10:03am
That's completely subjective
RaggaeCoug
9/1/15 3:43pm
Probably helped him get a Gatorade contract.
Josef K
9/1/15 3:44pm
Ya, Duke is so flavor of the week, no staying power.
Crush4

Talk to Danny Ainge, maybe Michael Smith, I am sure there are others.
Acorn

For these reasons...

^^^To this I give a hearty "amen." Basketball is not life.

Ever heard of loyalty? Fandom? Why is that so hard to understand?
SaintGeorgeYFan
9/1/15 6:29pm
Who are the liars? The ones who voted for BYU or the ones who voted for Duke?
Jericho
9/1/15 3:31pm
Just because someone wouldn't choose to go to BYU doesn't make them less a fan
RaggaeCoug
9/1/15 3:36pm
With the players BYU's getting the next few years I might just go with BYU.
mantis mutu
9/1/15 3:30pm
that's a big consideration now more so than it was a few years back...
icecougar
9/1/15 6:47pm
Duke all the way... Why pick BYU when you could mess up
RaggaeCoug
9/1/15 3:32pm
Did you go to BYU?
Jericho
9/1/15 3:34pm
No, never wanted to.
RaggaeCoug
9/1/15 3:35pm
Oh, well that makes sense... and explains why you are in the minority
Jericho
9/1/15 3:36pm
Married into a big BYU family and they converted me...
RaggaeCoug
9/1/15 3:39pm
If you grew up as a BYU fan and your parents were BYU students/fans
Jericho
9/1/15 3:42pm
Trends are starting to move away from that ideal.
RaggaeCoug
9/1/15 3:45pm
Not really. We get a lot of legacy kids, but when you have as many as we do
Jericho
9/1/15 3:47pm
I have always liked Duke and everything Coach K stands for.
RaggaeCoug
9/1/15 3:50pm
Go talk to Brandon Davies.
bagman
9/1/15 6:38pm
So basically I am reading some diehard Dads who just love everything about BYU

I know my sons would choose BYU if they had the choice
Jericho

And you may be right for many kids but not everybody cares about Duke or wants
Cosmodiar
9/1/15 3:51pm
That's kind of my point. Ya that's easy to say for some of us
RaggaeCoug
9/1/15 3:58pm
Easy to say because it is true. My motivations are not yours or anyone elses.
Cosmodiar

I find it hard to believe that if faced with that situation, that would be the

Careful, you will now be called less of a fan for that.
RaggaeCoug
9/1/15 4:11pm
Are you familiar with his recent past on CB? Either way, your comment is funny
Jericho
9/1/15 4:22pm
you mean this one?

Oh I am familiar with his "past" on CB....

I would have chosen BYU because I love BYU and want to make it better.

Not many in their right mind pick BYU or Utah over Duke for basketball. Coach K
