In no way am I making this post to take anything away from these kids. They are all D1 athletes and great players with multiple D1 offers. My point: Is the current basketball program casting a net on easy signs with the local ties that they have created or are they truly trying to find guys that fit there system and scheme?

The trend: if you want to play for BYU go play on Utah Prospects or the newly created Utah Mountain Stars. These are both great AAU squads but we need to cast a net much bigger than two AAU squads.
