I've been preaching this for years. There is no reason we should not be dabbling

in countries with hidden talent just like our in conference foes. The HC is not the reason. The reason is we are satisfied with our current crop. To say there aren't kids in these other countries who could help us because of the HC is laughable and short sighted, as if we own morality. Give these kids a scholly and watch them sign that HC and live it with no issues.

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.

Who cares where players come from?

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

Skysthelimit

2/21/18 7:23pm

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

dreamlvr

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Because they believe it is true

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.
