How many people outside of the Church know that Jabari Parker is a member?
Not many. But everyone knows that Jimmer is a member because he played for BYU. Same with Steve Young, Ty Detmer, Shawn Bradley, and Danny Ainge.
Did the national press or public mention that Haloti Ngata was a member when he played at Oregon? In the NFL? Not really.
Even few members know that some great baseball players were members: Harmon Killebrew, Roy Halladay, Dennis Eckersley, Jack Morris, Jeff Kent, and so forth.
When a member athlete plays a high-profile sport for BYU, their Church membership is part of their sports identity and becomes part of the story told in the media and consumed by the public. When a member athlete plays elsewhere, that doesn't happen in the same way.

this is a what if thread... if we had all of the best LDS athletes in Provo we'd be final 4 good. That means we'd be ND.

We're dreaming here. Do you mind keeping reality to yourself? Besides you just had them playing football.
