bb recruiting

No way. He has a chance to be All WCC if he goes to BYU.

And be a lottery pick in the NBA. SJBH!

I will be very surprised if he doesn't end up at BYU.

Kids can't seem to leave Stanford alone.

I heard he tripped there last week.

He lives in Utah County. His mother will want him at BYU. Everyone he goes to school with wants him at BYU. Everyone he goes to Church with wants him at BYU. His high school coaches desperately want him at BYU. He is friends with current and future players for BYU. He could go elsewhere I am not naive to the advantages of other schools, just that I think BYU is in a much better situation because of where the kid lives and the fact that he will be surrounded with people who would prefer he be at BYU. Finally, he remembers Jimmer at BYU and knows that Rose will give him the reins in he is worth it. I would think that the probability that ends up at BYU is enormously in BYU's favor. I also think it will be referenced as a huge recruiting battle but after the dust settles and the truth comes out we will learn that it was never that much of a battle. He will take his trips and say the right things to the right people but in the end he is a son of a mother that knows.

According to this dude, Frank Jackson has re-opened his recruitment, so that's neat.

This has been one of the worst kept secrets.

That is a good list of reasons and makes sense. Is he inclined to serve a mission. If he isn't I don't think he has to worry about the kind of atmoshpere in the BB program vs the FB program. He can look to Jimmer's acceptance and success.

People on cougar board were saying he is favoring Stanford and then Duke. Dammit, I hate it when those schools poach our people. Coaches were confident a couple of months ago that he theirs.

Napper's track record on predictions keeps sinking and sinking. He'll catch SU and mpfunk soon.

He was right about the Payton Dastrup recruiting saga so there's that.

[Topper]

Yes. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

[KillerDog]

He's not going anywhere except BYU. He has always been a cougar and he runs with that LP group that loves BYU. He's tight with TJ, Mika, Nick etc. I saw him at mission farewells and everything. He's a BYU kid and is going to go straight out of HS on a mission before enrolling at the Y.
