Who cares where players come from?

Don't we care about getting the best LDS kids first and foremost?

What LDS kids outside of Utah have we missed on?

The majority of kids I think we blew it not recruiting are from Utah.

I do think we should utilize JC/transfers better but I don't care what state or country they are from. If the best lds kids in every class are from Utah then I hope we get them all.

Sounds like someone is sucking on sour grapes over in state kids they missed on.

It is only NOT OK if there are better recruits that would come to BYU.

You don't think they tried...really hard...to get Jabari Parker?

If they didn't, I wouldn't blame them. I can't see how one-and-done

They recruited Jabari for YEARS. That was documented

The best to a certain cutoff. After a clear talent line you need to

It's also funny because despite the OP comment, a bunch of the guys

Honestly I think the majority of talent we are missing out on are from utah

If Rose doesn't fix the offense he won't get to choose who to bring back

It's not okay since we haven't made the tourney in 3 years.

Did Rose take heat here for cutting Ziggy? I know he was raw, but how could

I've played basketball with Ziggy a few times.

You act as if Rose doesn't care. If he could likely get international players to

I think there are a few people who think Dave has become lazy with recruiting.

First recruiting rule is to win in your own back yard. However, it should not be

That's a football strategy. Not necessary for the limited basketball roster

Funny because BYU was one of the first (maybe THE first) to go international

They very well might recruit worldwide, but do they offer worldwide?

It's an insane argument. People create weirdest non issues in unpleasant times.

All 5 starters last year were top 100 recruits. Most ever for BYU

Why do you keep saying this when it’s untrue?

To be fair, there have been some pretty talented kids in Utah County as of late

Absolutely. Davies and Collinsworth have both spent time in the NBA.
