I believe that FJ would have found himself enjoying the BYU experience and fan adoration just like Jimmer but for a different skill set. FJ does not have Jimmer range but does have great overall athletic ability. Frank likely will not produce that type of Jimmer fever pitch at Duke because their team has are other players who are just as good. Jabari - who was quite talented - certainly didn't create a Jimmermania cult following while he was there. Jackson will not have the green light to play loose and free as Rose allowed Jimmer. Point I am making is that Frank could have come to BYU and made some serious noise given the up-tempo play Rose has instituted (one of the highest scoring teams in the country) and still ended up developing his skill set for the NBA. Rose is piecing together a very good group of players and Frank would have done quite well with the supporting cast.
