This is a very good question. Is it as simple as Robinson makes it sound?

More effort recruiting internationally wouldn’t hurt and might turn up

Agreed. The article points out that we rarely feature international

Good article. Makes a lot of sense.

Funny that in football it's great to sign in state players, but bball it's bad

Historically it has been critical to get the Utah POY. But need outsiders too.

Recruits not a problem, IMO. BYU gives away star players like Chatman & Bartley

You lost me at Jordan Chatman star player and giving away Frank Bartley.

No way they were blindsided by Bartley. You have been misled on that.
roseyscenario
2/20/18 8:06pm
That's incorrect. But even if true, that's not anywhere near "giving him away".

It is exactly correct. Parse words, if you want. Believe what you want.

"Bartley wanted out even before the season"...."BYU gave him away"

For every 4-star kid Rose signs, he brings in two walk-on level players.

And yet BYU's men's and women's tennis teams routinely recruit international athletes.
