Wednesday at Big 12 Media Days, Snowden confirmed he was recruited to leave Utah for BYU in the offseason.
“It wasn’t directly to me,” he said. “BYU wasn’t the only school [to reach out]. It is kind of what the name of the game is with the transfer portal.”
Snowden was never in the transfer portal. But the junior didn’t feel as though BYU tampered — or illegally reached out to him.
By NCAA rule, a team cannot contact a player directly unless they have entered their name into the transfer portal.
“I wouldn’t say it was any tampering type thing. It was more [through] agents,” he said.

Needs to be rules and penalties around incentivizing players, using any channel, to transfer. Until then, c’est la vie.
