This is the #1 kid in the recruiting class and the future #1 pick in the draft. He will have his pick of wherever he wants to go. Young’s NBA cache got us into the conversation, but it’s probably not enough to be the deciding factor over schools like Duke, UNC, Baylor, etc. And how everyone does this season will have no bearing on who he commits to. UConn won back to back nattys, and Duke still got Cooper Flagg.

A lot of the elite programs have different and better recruiting pitches than us. Right now we have the NBA/Young Player Development as our only pitch than can objectively be better than those other programs. NIL is one where BYU can differentiate itself from the others, and they have full control over it
