For example: we had a good chance at JJ Mandaquit, ranked around #50, and he chose to go elsewhere. Are we disappointed? Of course, we would have loved to have him. But no one is shocked at it.
Meanwhile if the #50 recruit is LDS, we (hopefully) already have a big leg up with him. Unlike a Mandaquit type, it becomes a letdown if he goes elsewhere. There are only so many shots at top recruits, and we have to capitalize in situations that favor us.
