You claim the big donors are holding back because they don’t believe in him.
Assume that is true, do you think that may be a better explanation for losing recruits than laziness?

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?

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

Pretty good summary

but what's interesting about that is he was billed as a GREAT recruiter

Recruiting has fundamentally changed with NIL + transfer portal.

It has and that is fortunate for Sitake has he has done better with this model.

I think he is a great recruiter, maybe not a great closer

The issue is big donors don’t trust KS

How much of that is you connecting dots to match your preconceived notions?

So connecting the dots
Charles Darwin
12/18/24 11:52am
So only those who are LITERALLY in the room can have an opinion?
gopman
12/18/24 12:00pm
You can have an opinion on the results, where did I say you couldn’t?
Charles Darwin
12/18/24 12:02pm
Again, does one have to be in the room to have an opinion?
gopman
12/18/24 2:46pm
Again to have an opinion on the results? No. To have an opinion on the process
Charles Darwin
12/18/24 2:55pm
You can tell the process is bad because of the results.

12/18/24 5:14pm
So going 10-2 is their fruits…does that mean they did recruiting right even if
Charles Darwin
12/18/24 6:02pm
We still go after plenty of big recruits. Your assumption is 100% wrong.
kimdaddy35
12/18/24 12:15pm
I feel like he targets recruits he thinks he can get rather than every big star
Charles Darwin
12/18/24 12:27pm
LOL, he offered like 2 guys in 8th grade. Who we are going after has not changed one iota
kimdaddy35

I love your lack of rationality. Let's agree the number is 6. Sitake offered about 500
kimdaddy35
12/18/24 1:17pm
What 8th graders has he offered recently? Where is 500 coming from?
Charles Darwin
12/18/24 1:33pm
So you are claiming that before he went after ones he knew he couldn't get?
kimdaddy35
12/18/24 1:43pm
Yes he just didn’t know it at the time and now he has a better idea.
Charles Darwin
12/18/24 1:51pm
According to 247 BYU has already offered 98 for the class of 2025.

Your answer is in direct contradiction with facts.

lol, you have tried to skirt the contradiction this whole time.

It wasn’t just 8th graders. It was a number of 8th and 9th graders he went all

For example... Kalani sat in a recruits living room after Ty was fired and said

12/18/24 12:30pm
I should add though that unlike many other coaches Kalani will treat their son like family

IIRC Retzlaff said he didn't even meet Kalani until he was signed and on campus
