I'm not saying player development is poor under Kalani. I'm saying DL development is poor under Tuiaki.

He is and has been the coach of that position group his entire tenure at BYU. It's been the weakest position group at BYU for many years in a row now.

Tuiaki just needs to really step up on his DL recruiting game. That’ll solve a

After 7 years of recruiting I don’t see this improving much. Unless a kid loves

The Big 12 should help at least some.

they seem to have no problem committing to Dave Aranda's 3 lineman scheme.

His scheme isn’t the problem. Independence isn’t as attractive as B12

Hard to recruit a high level kid when he sees this defensive scheme isn’t it?

Or step down. Either way.

And find someone to coach the DL...

Here’s to year 10 + some mission years and development to make that happen?!

Don’t we have three 4* DL recruits in recent classes?

I would have thought we’d see more transfer portal activity

What if I told you we actually have signed a 4* DL in each of ‘21 ‘22 & ‘23?

What if I told you Tuiaki was hired in 2015?

They took over a program void of talent and incoming prospects

rad dawg

Well is DL recruiting stepping up or not?

Reasonable1

Looks like it. And it’s the Big 12 doing the heavy lifting, not Tuiaki.

Until they actually show up on the field and produce, it doesn't mean much.

It’s a process. Fist, recruit them. Second develop them. At least we’re recruiti

They haven't been on the DL under Tuiaki.

Look at our DL starters against Baylor. We’re doing way more with less.

Took getting B12 to get top DL to commit to BYU.

Talented DLs typically aren’t in the portal

Impossible. Tuiaki has done this for 7 years. Nothing is changing.

Recruiting and development...

Yep. Just needs 7 more years. That way those in 5th grade right now will be ready to pick up the mantle and help the D.

It takes minimum 3 years to rebuild any program outside the blue bloods.

rad dawg

9/18/22 10:31am

Sorry. But even at BYU 7 years is more than enough time to show progress on the player development side.

Spiff

I 100% agree.

I'm not saying player development is poor under Kalani. I'm saying DL development is poor under Tuiaki.
