(Ah Yous, Anaes, Atuias, Itula Mili, Heimulis, Jack Damuni, etc.) Now BYU just gets the nerds (like my kids). Hopefully that can swing back in our favor.

Year after year we miss on the Kahuku kids? Why? A lot of mission bound, great

especially since thats Kalani's hometown

Dec 5, 11:17am

how many did we offer?

JOPE

Dec 5, 11:19am

Of those listed, we offered one and he went to Cal with much better “listed”

So we really didn’t miss on anyone…

JOPE

Dec 5, 11:48am

that is my guess

The fact that we are not even offering P-4 caliber Mormon kids is a miss

bluehawaiian

Dec 5, 11:57am

We can't offer every P4 Mormon kid. Gotta prioritize the best ones that are likely to come to BYU. Maybe those boys

1 of 6 Kahuku P4 kids this year got an offer. Multiple 0 P4 offer signees this

Jay Hill needs to recruit who he wants, ARod needs to recruit who he wants

and I get to complain when our DL is terrible year after year.

It doesn't look like Max Fonoimoana signed w/ Utah yesterday- anyone know why?

That would be so awesome if they came to BYU. They were beasts at Kahuku.

BYU has a handful of Kahuku and probably more when you count kids that would've played at Kahuku but moved to Utah

I spent some time over there, Utah has dumped a lot of gear on that HS

Hopefully we can counter somehow. I wish Kahuku were the Blue Raiders....

I don't know any of those names, but the schools they committed to is not

No way we didn't want any of those kids.

OK.... 2 previous years: UU x4, ASU, WSU, TX, OrSU. BYU: Zero

That was before our 10-2 year. Also, why refer to inferior football programs'

Did you watch them play this year? These aren't misses.

Dec 5, 11:30am

I have watched them play. These kids beat the #2 team in the country last year

bluehawaiian

Dec 5, 11:37am

That is a very RR4L view of this year's team. Competition in Hawaii is dismal

Dec 5, 4:08pm

Terrible team!! Only 6 seniors going to P4 schools in this graduating class.

This is pathetic.

I heard it's the popular thing in that town to not like BYU

Winning tends to breed popularity.

“UC Berkeley” Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.

Coaches are former utah players and tight with Whitt. Whitt visits there yearly

Can you really call Solomon a miss? He only had 2 offers, UNLV and Portland St.

I have strong opinions about this. Grew up there

Great post. I attended BYU H and this rings true.

RUNBYU1

Dec 5, 5:08pm

True. All you see in Kahuku are Ute gear. Parents and kids. It will take years

Bluforever

So true. Another thing that would help immensely is playing @Hawaii more often.

Ethan Erickson, Enoch Nawahine, Josh Singh, Mason Fakuhuna, Ace Kaufusi, SolJay

Would it really matter if none of them came to BYU?

SolJay won a bowl game for us, Josh is in the 2-deep, Enoch has scored TDs for

So no, they would have been replaced.

We are not getting the best prospects that start in P4s and go to the NFL. That
