Hopefully, but for some reason I doubt it. I sure hope that I'm wrong though!

its true, why go play where you already have someone elses trail laid before you. make your own path and it theres stuff in the way either blow it up or cut it down.

I understand he will/would be a great player, but I have never thought we would/will close the deal w him. I see the 2 yr mission break he is planning on taking after his 1st year as kind of problematic. Just reading that last article, you see how easy it is for these guys to come back from being gone for the 2 years and transfer right over to BYU.
Being in the general area of Utah (Idaho), we see alot of recruits sign up at a local school (Boise Sate, Idaho, Idaho State) for that 1st year, go on the 2 yr mission and come back only to transfer to BYU. I don't blame the athlete, that is just the way it often plays out.

if they believe that strong in thier faith and religion then good for them and the carrer path they choose. just hope it works out for us. i mean we had a muslim here. we are open to all religions and i just hope that concern isnt a deciding factor for him

I do not know, but I imagine the main thing might be that they have been away from the athletic hoopla and working out and adulation for 2 years, immersed in their faith w only their missionary partner to spend free time with. They live that faith, and then when they get back, it would probably be hard to leave that great support network of like minded faithful mormons to go to a university that is not about their faith. That would be my thoughts- but then again, I am not of the LDS faith, so who knows.
