I've also wondered why we don't look outside the USA for players

we've had a few over the years but not many. The international players have gotten better and with our world wide church I don't see how we are not getting some of those players. Seems like most teams have atleast a couple of them on their roster save maybe the Kentucky's or Dukes who can get any 5 star recruit they go after.

BYU has the worst NCAA tourney record in the country, a 1st round loss hurts BYU

For those that go to the NCAA...could be worse.
