in the church that we can use. We have BYU-loving fans all over the ward that could send in tips. And whereas it's hard to get non-members to obey the honor code, I think it would be easier to snag some international prospects who are under the radar but talented, and are willing to abide the rules for a chance at D1 ball in the U.S. They have to adjust to a new culture at BYU, sure, but they are going to be adjusting to a new culture anyway.
In other words, I think there'd be less built-in anti-BYU/anti-LDS bias with international students than with U.S. ones.
