This is a big part of it. LJ proactively reached out to BYU. The coaches didn’t have him on their radar as interested.

I'll reiterate what a huge signing LJ Martin is. Our highest-rated non-LDS, non-local, non-legacy recruit...ever

NIL proving to be a boon for BYU.

And big 12, doubt he is interested if we don’t play in TX and not P5

Betting this has at least as much to do with Big 12 as NIL

Completely agree. But also, El Paso is like an 8 hour drive from any inhabitable part of Texas

From everything I've seen NIL has very little to do with this.

Maybe it's true maybe it isn't but someone posted in a few days ago LJ was committing to byu and had an NIL deal

High school recruit, yes.

also JUCO from what I can tell...transfers are a different story and not included

Even better than Ronnie Jenkins? That's high praise

Jenkins was before the 247 era

Ronnie Jenkins was before the days of 247 recruiting rankings

He's be the highest ever but we didn't track ratings then

ARod had better find more 2 RB sets in his playbook like we did with McKenzie and Jenkin's...

It’s a great tactic to pursue Stanford recruits/commits ala Utah recruiting BYU

Texas recruiting pool is going to be massive.
