The debate on whether BYU is doing enough to recruit foreign basketball players took several twists this week, including claims of barriers from some, allegations from others, and obvious frustration from head coach Dave Rose.
On Tuesday, Rose reacted to a question about international recruiting with visual frustration. He was almost testy, saying he almost brought in a player this year but failure to pass a test kept the athlete out.
Robbie McCombs, of the website Vanquishthefoe.com, identified that prospect as 6-foot-8 forward Agasiy Tonoyan from Russia, who made a visit to Provo this past year.
