Hopefully we can still prevail, we have overcome that for other LDS recruits (see Togiai). It is a tough pull and they also may take their mission anyways.

Too soon old, too late smart
Anyone notice the religious pull of BY? Kinda like that of ND back in the day. Recollect most/all of the Cincy kids at parochial schools in a pipeline to ND. Heck, even a HS coach went to ND. Does/has anyone tracked how the two year mission impacted these kids? Certainly a bit more mature, maybe a bit more ripped/developed?

I don't think the mission affects their football development, because they're not going on the mission and lifting or training. They could be in say, Mexico, or El Salvador, or even just in America spreading LDS gospel there's not a weight room or dietary restrictions. They're there to help, no one sees them as an athlete, just the kid helping do XYZ. I don't think it helps or hurts

Preparing myself for the disappointment as I was really hoping we'd get Wong. I'm Asian American, and it would have been neat for me to see a Buckeye with a pretty hardcore Asian last name on the field making some plays. I remember when I saw Dat Nguyen for the first time playing for Texas A and M and how hype I was as a kid (I didn't care for the Aggies at all at the time, still don't. But Dat was a beast.)
As for WR recruiting, hopefully some kids emerge during their senior seasons and we find a sleeper or two to develop. I do trust the staff. Our coaches are good.
