Agree to disagree, I guess. But I can't see it as anything other than a massive

obstacle. Most 18 year old kids want nothing to do with the HC. If we're Duke and have ball at the very highest level to offer, then there are plenty who will sacrifice for it. But we're not. We're no different from any other team, except for you don't get to live your life the way you want to. If you're not LDS, why on earth would you choose BYU over any other basketball equal?

Why should BYU have an international advantage over other WCC teams?

Was Cosic an honor code misfit?

Totally. International kids are going to have an even bigger hurdle here.

Please explain why international talent is an even greater HC risk.

You have to start somewhere.

International recruits are not being scouted via normal high schools......

I don't mean to say BYU has "no appeal" to them. It just has less appeal.

I totally agree. BYU has its advantages.

Because we have alumni all over the globe. Use them.

I’m not sure BYU expats are going to be in many situations where they’re going

I think you are underestimating BYU's fanbase.

1/21/19 5:42pm

Maybe. But I think you might be overestimating it a bit.

That is why they invited BYU, agreement we would only offer UT players.

1/21/19 5:04pm

Yeah, but how many players from Alpine, UT do those teams have? Hmmm???

Rose seems to think international recruiting is not realistic

Just signed players from China and Brazil

The MVB team has international players. How do they do it but MBB doesn’t?

If Rose had more international players and less Utah players someone would complain we don't get enough Utah recruits

You are hinting at other deficiencies in the program.

1/21/19 5:41pm

But BYU has Lone Peak and the LP3

To be fair, had Rose not gotten the LP3 this board would have called for him to
