Sports Illustrated's Brian Snow took a look at how all the expansion talk has affected basketball recruiting.

He writes, "Clearly most of the focus with Big 12 expansion revolves around football, but there is also a real impact for basketball as well."

He goes on to talk about what it means for a possible BYU recruit, saying, "Top-70 prospect Branden Carlson hails from the state of Utah and is considering BYU very heavily. Carlson, who also has official visits set up to Utah, UCLA and Stanford, along with BYU, admits the expansion talk surrounding the Cougars is something that he is monitoring."

Snow then quotes Carlson talking about BYU possibly being including in Big 12 expansion, "I think it is a pretty big deal. Playing in the bigger leagues with better competition is a pretty big deal, so it would be great if they got into the Big 12."
