The Gentry's and Wonnacotts go back. My guess is he has spoken to Jimmer many times.

But there’s a cap. So BYU and the other schools who have elected to share the full amount are equal. So at most, revenue

BYU's MO allows them a better chance to max out the profit share.

Sure. But it isn’t the revenue sharing that makes BYU’s NIL packages competitive with other schools, it’s the donors

BYU isn't competing with Alabama. It will be at the top of B12 profit sharing.

The revenue share is a fixed cap, not a % of revenue. If BYU pays at or near the

Did you ask him why he has already rejected BYU twice in recruiting?

I did not. But we had a great conversation and I think he’d be an amazing addition. Got to be moving forward

Reason 1: Darrell. Reason 2: Funk.

Awesome post. How do you find mentors?. Does he have just One year left?

Gentry says he has 2 years of eligibility left. so perhaps he gets an injury

We have a pool of mentors we connect with athletes. They usually come from my network or from people I’ve met as subscri

A crummy commercial.

Have a hard time believing BYU is comfortable with a fan board interviewing transfer portal targets.

Believe it or not it’s true 🤷‍♂️
