BYU is not in the gold mining territory. They live in an area that has never been populated with a large or even moderate AA presence. What is the % of AA starters in NBA? Basketball besides being a physical fit is now a cultural fit for AA athletes. Don't pretend that you are unaware of this. The gold is very scarce in in intermountain west, add honor codes and a very upfront play by the rules culture and you have another factor that make BYU's recruiting base more restrictive. All this you have conveniently ignored to preach your platform
