He knows when KY is successful, the NBA will again come knocking and he'll be in

This makes no sense. KY already had one hand on the highest rung in the NBA before making the decision to come to BYU.

His wife likely had a huge hand in wanting him to "settle" here.

It may be substantially simpler than that. Maybe, just maybe he came to realize how much Yewtah sucks on several levels

Most likely explanation.

Don Carlton

Maybe he can bring some players with him? Would we want anyone from Utah?

Their roster is decimated right now. Smith may get fired next year. Burgess is

Within 2 years Burgess will disappoint 19 million Mormons and recruit against us

He left for P5 coaching money

Nah. Thinking too hard. It was just a better career opportunity.
