I sincerely hope BYU continues to land the cream of the LDS crop. I think that BYU offers the best experience and is the best school for a lot of (but certainly not all) LDS kids who have the grades/test scores/athletic ability to go there.

We should always recruit those kids, and I see no sign of us slowing down. We retained Hall, Saunders, Knell, Baker, Stewart...and are going after the best of high school LDS prospects with Chris Burgess leading our in-state efforts.

But our prospects these days, LDS and otherwise, have to be able to play in the Big 12. From the looks of it, they also must compete internally with an extremely talented roster for time on the floor. Fine by me. I think I just described what was an almost unimaginably good scenario a few months ago.
