...if we signed him and then he sat for 2 yrs on the bench developing his game and physicality, we run the great risk of him being discontented with his lack of playing time, transferring and then shining somewhere else.

If we let him go to a low or mid major level school to get more playing time and development early then we run the risk of him having a chip on his shoulder against BYU (ala Ashworth) and spurning BYU later.
