…if he can actually string a couple winning seasons together before we start worrying about whether he’ll get poached.

BYU couldn't afford a former UNLV/USU/WKU/Georgia Southern coach?

Nonsense. He’s responsible to get the staff he needs and to get the money he needs

Blue2thebone

Yep, Kalani's at fault that there wasn't enough money until BYU joined the Big12

Hype vs Results. I agree with the spirit of your post. What KY has done is absolutely amazing! I have never been more

He could’ve been a NBA HC, he’s not just going to bolt for another college

palangi

He left head coaching in the nba to have a better family environment here.

runnincoug

As long as we don't take him for granted, he'll stay.

VenomFarmer

Odds of Kevin Young leaving BYU for a different college job seem very low. NBA at some point is a moderate risk.

roseyscenario

Aug 1, 11:52am

Yes, if he leaves BYU he’d be way more likely to go to the NBA in 5-10 years

palangi

Aug 1, 12:22pm

It is easier to recruit for a team of 15 than 85 (soon to be 105)

BYU pays Kalani more than Young.

Do we have any idea how much NIL is available to b-ball and football?

It doesn’t bode well for Amber Whiting.

KY has nba street cred but lots has to do with NIL $$ that wbb doesn’t have.

It looks like the recruiting rankings have gone up since last time I checked

And that's still without Demin.

tacallaway

Exactly. Seth Davis put our recruiting class at sixth in the nation. Behind only Baylor in the big 12 🏆

Blue2thebone

Where did you see that?

Even if we were average and big 12, which we are not

Shortsighted post IMO, it really comes down to a couple things not related to

1CougFan

Aug 1, 8:31am

It's more shortsighted thinking that Kalani is the closest we can get to LaVell.

tacallaway

Aug 1, 11:15am

Who in your opinion then would be closer other than

1CougFan

Aug 1, 4:43pm

If we're talking KY analogues, Kellen Moore or Darrell Bevell

tacallaway

Aug 1, 4:56pm

Anybody who was innovative and was a good CEO and a good leader anybody who could win games

Blue2thebone

Aug 1, 7:19pm

I almost choked on your words. Kalani is the closest thing BYU will ever get to Lavell Edwards.

Blue2thebone

Aug 1, 7:15pm

recruits want money and that is it! KY is winning recruiting battles with MONEY

Ghost

Basketball has more money than football

off season wins are nice, but not as important

Direct correlation off-season wins, and in season wins

There you go again bringing facts into the debate

Blue2thebone

I don’t see how basketball recruiting affects football . . . But ok.

LakeshowCougs

Aug 1, 12:38pm

just about the raising the bar of expectations is my guess

Polecat

Aug 1, 10:25pm

All the insiders I've seen address this topic say Kalani makes more than KY

tacallaway

Aug 1, 10:34pm

He should since he's coached 8 seasons. KY is still walking into resources

Polecat

Aug 1, 11:23pm

Unfortunately that aspect of coaching isn't fair. Donors back who they like.
