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.“

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.

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?

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.

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!
