Sure, if you throw more money into football you may get a solid commitment out of some talented recruits, but you couple that with LEGIT coaching who can get you to the next level and has experience doing it? Just listen to most of the interviews of the most recent adds to the BB program. Sure, NIL is a huge deal, but they list it like No 4. The other things? Coach, Coach and Coach were mentioned over and over again. The reputation KY has in the NBA level is MASSIVE.
Now, I love Kalani, I'm simply saying if a 5 star football player coming to BYU for a visit, and is offered a matching amount of $$ between us and another program, I just don't know if Kalani makes that big of an impact to tip the scale like it absolutely is for basketball.
