It's not typical at all
For example, I've never heard of a school piggybacking the way Utah did with Tre Flowers. He's not LDS but winds up on BYU's radar because of a teammate that spoke highly of BYU and so he attends a BYU camp. Then, out of the blue, he gets an offer from Utah. What examples are there of other teams doing the same thing? What is the connection there other than BYU offered him?

-----------------------------------------------

I like a lot of things about BYU, said Flowers. I like the coaches and Ive built a good relationship with them and I like the standards they have there. Im a good Christian kid with strong beliefs and BYU has a lot of the same beliefs that I do, so Id love to play for a school like that.

Shortly after his unofficial visit to BYU, Utah came forward with its own offer. Assistant Coach Morgan Scalley has since visited with Flowers expressing interest in having him play a key role in the Utes' aggressive defensive system.

While Flowers is well-versed on BYU, he isnt all that familiar with Utah.

It was crazy with them offering me right after BYU did, but its a school Ill consider I just dont know much at all about them right now, said Flowers. Im trying to make plans to go back to Utah and visit BYU, but it will most-likely be BYU that I visit because thats the school in Utah my parents want me to focus on.
