Is DOMO in trouble? Their financials are bad and they seem to be losing money

It was awkward as all get out, but teenagers are also hard to interview, so the whole thing just felt weird.

I have never seen one of those announcements that wasn’t awkward.

Full throttle is delicious. Less sweet than monster and more citrus

AJ told Kevin Young TWO WEEKS ago

Icelandic Cougar

1:29pm

He actually signed on Nov 15, so 3+ weeks ago

byuwahoo

RE: AJ told Kevin Young TWO WEEKS ago

kimdaddy35

According to Robbie, he signed on Nov 15th. So nearly 4 weeks ago.

Duke Silver

Makes me wonder how many people actually knew. SO hard to keep that from getting

Working theory...it's not just Ryan Smith, there are more rich people involved

Avery

That's not a theory, it's fact.

Lifer

1:27pm

Not a theory - it's the truth. They hit up a lot of donors to get NIL and AD $

homegrown

Smith was not even the primary donor for AJ.

kimdaddy35

well duh

This is fact

One thing I've been told directly: Ryan has 'activated' multiple very wealthy

macdizzle

The vision for what BYU basketball could become needed more than just Brian Santiago

kimdaddy35

Also, a 1 yr commitment is much different than a 3 yr commitment

Plato

Also very true.

kimdaddy35

1:42pm

Football recruiting is waaaaaaay different than basketball recruiting

arcawley

I would say only like 4 a's. Like Waaaay. It is very different. But asking for money is well...

kimdaddy35

That's awesome

TNT

This has been stated multiple times by people in the know, Ryan is a significant donor, but is not even the biggest

Leon Lett. That dude made some interesting plays.

mulletino

The fact that AJ signed before the Idaho game is NUTS. Can't believe it didn't

Duke Silver

1:25pm

Would Shawn Bradley have been a 5 star recruit today?

robin

1:22pm

Absolutely

palangi

1:23pm

Yes, very easily. He was a top 3 and maybe top 1 recruit in the entire country.

kimdaddy35

1:23pm

He was #2. Behind the other white center who went to North Carolina

TNT

1:28pm

I think Chris Webber would have been the #1 recruit in 1991.

HarlemCoug

1:33pm

Bradley was a different class.

kimdaddy35

1:38pm

A coordinated 7’6” guy would be a 5 star and in the top ten of recruits.

WallaX2

1:24pm

He went #2 in the 1993 NBA draft, so I'd say 100% yes.

Gentleman Stan

1:26pm

After not playing basketball for over a year

kccougar

although that happened after he had already dominated in college for a year

Plus he had the stifling KWhitt vicegrips on play calling.

mulletino

1:20pm

Redshirt him a year and still hope to get Ryder Lyons.

docrick

1:21pm

Lyons is mission bound, so not likely to have much impact on each other

donnerstag

1:42pm

I'm curious about his mindset though. He needs to not feel entitled to be heir

runnincoug

1:21pm

Hopefully he doesn't come in and ruin our locker room like he did the Utes.

kimdaddy35

and this should be a huge red flag.

bald man

A year as a backup and then a chance to start in '26 seems reasonable

Huge Manatee

He'll be grateful for a good coach and any opportunity

Mike Bolton

I know there are rumors, but an reputable sources say it's BYU where he lands?

macdizzle

Yes I think it’s on the Rancheritos sign on State St.

Ron Mexico

I'm not that interested, TBH. He is undersized, and too much drama there

arcawley

I'd have to think his stock and market NIL price are down right now.

Cougarclaw

1:32pm

I’m fine with bringing him in to compete with Hillstead and others but I doubt

WillsPitStop

1:34pm

He hasn't done enough to be guaranteed at a P4 school.

mudpupper

1:36pm

I agree but I doubt that he and his family sees it that way.

WillsPitStop

1:38pm

No legit coach is going to let him have the job without competition

donnerstag

1:44pm

He is short. look how often our passes are being bated down

bald man

1:42pm

To be fair he also battled injuries and an incompetent offense

arcawley

I think he's good enough to bring into the program, but I wouldn't spend any

Huh? They were never going to make the Mustang electric only.

Good. I'm going off (my iffy) memory, but I thought they announced a while back

No. That never happened. They've specifically said they will make V8 Mustangs
