To understand this recruitment, you have to understand what's going on at BYU. Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith and executive Danny Ainge are all-in on rebuilding BYU basketball.“

They’ve given Kevin Young an open checkbook."

Blowing your whole budget on 1 player, a freshman at that, makes all kinds of sense.

Good. We'd rather he end up there than a team on our schedule.

Who says that’s their whole budget? We really need contracts and a salary cap in college sports.

Kinda sounds like they have an unlimited $$$$.

BYU has been getting a lot of high rated recruits this cycle and now we know why. This does seem very sudden though. I wonder why didn't they do this when Pope was coaching there?

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

Everything is fluid. We'll see how it all shakes out. Can't really put a cap on their endorsement $. They aren't employees either. If you make 'em employees, you might have to share some TV revenue.

Well can a NBA team give money to college players, that does seem like that clear tampering unless that rule changed.

I think it’d be awesome if he committed to BYU! The first season of Pope being gone and they snag the #1 player in the nation.
We all know how much the kitty cats love their recruiting!

It makes no sense to me why these young men go to these type of schools.

well, to put it bluntly, there are a lot of beautiful white girls and boys on these campuses. money and honey...

I guess dignity has its price.

I think this is completely unrealistic and is total BS. To me it is pretty easy to see right through the BS… it is nothing more then the kids agent lying through his teeth trying to put more money in both of their pockets,
But it is funny…
