I believe that BYU sports is the big missionary tool

Not necessarily the players. When Jimmer was a big deal, it got a lot of good press for BYU, which people knew were “The Mormons”.
But once he left, he became Jimmer, not Mormon Jimmer.

That being said, Jimmer has had lots of good opportunities to represent the church in China, I’ve heard.

My son served in the Texas Houston East mission, which goes into LA. But, he returned home before Taysom.

LSU fans are pretty much the worst... Even being LDS can't help them. 🙂
