And I never seriously considered that he'd come to BYU

Doesn't matter. You have to make the invitation to him and BYU did. Can't control what kids are going to do. Even Coach K doesn't get EVERY player he really wants. He doesn't lose them to schools like BYU but he does all the time to schools like Kentucky and N. Carolina. The funny thing is Parker's team in his only year at Duke got just as far in the NCAA tournament as BYU did. At least when BYU loses in the tournament it's never to 14 seeds like Mercer.
