Maybe you are right. BYU basketball is dead to me. I try to get enthusiastic about it, and I do want them to win, but the Roger Reid fiasco has been hard to get over (since he was a close family friend).
But aside from my personal feelings, the Cougars do have significant inroads in California, and the occasional talented Mormon elsewhere in the US. As far as non-BCs recruiting pools go it is one of the best.
