"Howard has no natural base in this sport"

Well we do, in fact playing in a weak conference with no real success the last 6 years we have had our best recruiting from a numbers perspective in some time. We have a strong natural recruiting base and will always be able to pick up 75-80% of the best LDS athletes across sports.

BYU basketball is adrift alright, but it isn't because we don't have a natural base to recruit producing enough talent.
