TNT is a weak man. He probably would have gone to Texas. Women and money!

TNT is this you in your dreams?

This is a major reason I don’t want Utah in the Big 12. The last thing BYU needs

And they can go 150 in A 50 and possibly roll their “nice car” and kill someone

Recruits need to start seeing the “pitch” for what it is…fake promises. Some NIL

Same with NFL aspirations. Good education will pay off. Low NFL draft %

Tough to contend BYU education is far superior to Texas

Kalani does it just like Lavell.

I think Kalani and Co do an excellent job selling the next level...

For non-LDS, I hope they push NFL, NIL, prestige, etc.

Pushing nfl and saying we can get you there if you’re willing to do the work is
