Definitely spread thin, but he is recruiting and others too
No doubt, Kevin Young is incredibly busy right now. But, the man has been doing NBA seasons for quite a few years. He knows how to grind. You don't work nights away from home for over half the year without knowing how to work really hard.

Rest assured - Young is definitely recruiting right now. Remember that he said his first step after being officially announced was getting in touch with the current players. We know that he already had a visit with Hall set up - I'm sure the first of several. He noted the importance of recruiting and I doubt would neglect that if it was a high priority.

With Nick Robinson still at the Y, it would be interesting to know what role he is currently playing in contact with the team and/or recruits. No one has interviewed him that I know of - maybe in time someone will get him on the record. He has to be polishing up his resume just in case, though.

I am sure that there are people with more information on the inside happenings. But, I think it's certain:

* A lot of recruiting effort is being made. I doubt Kozlowski would list BYU in his top 5 unless someone had been in touch with him in a meaningful way.
* They'll find a way to leverage the interim period where Kevin Young is coaching in an NBA playoff run. Not every coach could get you to a visit during an NBA playoff game - when the Suns play in Phoenix, it's just a short plane flight away from Provo. Why not go if it could be worked out? Don't know what recruiting guidelines and such allow though. Emery got in trouble for going to Disneyland or something.
