Absolutely he was. He attended every camp since he was 7. Won MVP the week after Isaac Wilson won. Did a photo shoot in uniform, all the prep stuff. Then Arod fumbled the ball and Sitake stopped replying to his requested texts with stat lines each week. For 10 months while his recruitment blew up. Hammond literally could not get anyone at BYU to reply for months. He called, texted, tried everything.

The question is, how many other top players can't get Arod's attention?
