I figured that a non-LDS kid from Las Vegas who was African-American and whose dad played for the Runnin' Rebs would probably send his kid to other camps before BYU's. How many camps does the kid attend when he was in junior high? It is not that he went to a camp I find strange, it was that without any connection to BYU I find it strange that he came to the BYU camp.

I would think the more likely camps he would attend are UNLV, UCLA, Reno, Pepperdine or even Utah's before BYU.

from Bstod regarding the Hamilton kid at LonePeak.

His dad is Larry. He was a starter on the d-line on the '84 NC team. Anyway, kinda weird that both parents ended up at BYU. His mom is actually from Croatia, so she is in the long line of BYU international players, but his dad just wasn't really highly recruited out of HS. Kinda strange, they met at BYU and now have a son playing football at Yale, a daughter playing volleyball at ASU, and now a son going to Iowa State for basketball.

and of course a top notch LDS player from Utah would never choose BYU over Stanford and Utah. lol.

Of course we don't sign everyone we want, but I believe these guys all came out '95 to '98ish when the program was in dire straits.

wow, you had to dig back +-10 years when our program was in the dumps? And it was BYU who rejected Madsen, which was obviously was a mistake. In recent years BYU seems to be landing the LDS players they most want.
