2 completely different situations. BYU may become a place for 1 and done

guys looking to keep their nose clean and prepare for an NBA career. I think how this year plays out in the Big 12 will show if he can keep that momentum as a coach who can get NBA type dudes.

Football is playing the long game, they need guys who can stay at BYU for 4-6 years, keep their noses clean, and grow with the program. It's going to take 3-4 years to get the depth we need and talent up to Big 12 level.

Yep, Kalani's at fault that there wasn't enough money until BYU joined the Big12

He left head coaching in the nba to have a better family environment here.

As long as we don't take him for granted, he'll stay.

Odds of Kevin Young leaving BYU for a different college job seem very low. NBA at some point is a moderate risk.

roseyscenario

Aug 1, 11:52am

Yes, if he leaves BYU he’d be way more likely to go to the NBA in 5-10 years

It is easier to recruit for a team of 15 than 85 (soon to be 105)

Do we have any idea how much NIL is available to b-ball and football?

KY has nba street cred but lots has to do with NIL $$ that wbb doesn’t have.

Exactly. Seth Davis put our recruiting class at sixth in the nation. Behind only Baylor in the big 12 🏆

Shortsighted post IMO, it really comes down to a couple things not related to

It's more shortsighted thinking that Kalani is the closest we can get to LaVell.

If we're talking KY analogues, Kellen Moore or Darrell Bevell

Anybody who was innovative and was a good CEO and a good leader anybody who could win games

I almost choked on your words. Kalani is the closest thing BYU will ever get to Lavell Edwards.

recruits want money and that is it! KY is winning recruiting battles with MONEY

He should since he's coached 8 seasons. KY is still walking into resources

Unfortunately that aspect of coaching isn't fair. Donors back who they like.
