Saying you can’t gel as a team bringing in portal transfers is non-sense.

Kalani isn't the most proactive coach around

Do you really believe that's THE reason for BYU's relatively low portal activity in 2024?

Underhill

That’s a non-sequitur. Still have 85 scholarships and portal guys…

Kalani is not the guy who is going to tirelessly outwork all of the other coaches around him

I should add though that unlike many other coaches Kalani will treat their son like family
