transfer or go to the NBA, but realistically most players will have to be re-recruited or replaced. It's the nature of the new CBB (and the NBA with trades). His professional experience is to win now with those that are on the team, now.
He put the team ahead of Catchings. Why? Because there is nothing he could do to keep Catchings if he wanted to leave (which was the plan). When he stepped into his HC role, he immediately 'asked' Waterman and others to find a new landing spot. He's going to re-recruit Saunders and Keita for sure.
I think that BYU's talent will get better and better (although it may be tough to get a better player than AJ).
