I think they thought they were going to be able to keep Robbins.

It's not like they have been scared to bring in transfer running backs in the past. I'm sure they took a look at the transfer portal, and for whatever reason it didn't work out.

Truth is at RB most of the them wouldn't be on most P4 depth charts

I wonder still if we could have convinced Robbins to stay with some added NIL

Do you know for fact that the staff didn't try to get one that would fit/come to BYU and just struck out?

Well we didn't get anyone... so even if we tired... why did we fail?

I could give you a bunch of possible explanations. Want me to speculate? Just saying that it's pointless to whine about

ManicBlue

Yes. The staff has stated on multiple occasions they didn't go after one

RockyBalboa

and what did you expect them to say? Yes, we went after every RB available because we feel our current RBs suck. Would

They already said they prioritized retaining their own players and the portal

Pretty simple to not believe everything you hear too. Most times there is more to the story.

They've stated repeatedly they didn't look for any RB in the portal

Sounds like coach speak to me.

Nah, they had no problem adding a ton of transfers the year before

And found that it was really hard to get them to play well together.

With that many, yes it was. Not the same trying to get a RB or two.

Allgeier was at LB as a walk on, do we have another Allgeier hidden away?

IIRC, started at RB then moved to LB for depth before coming back to RB. 🙂

Because the RB coach wanted to cut him but Kalani liked him.

I've wondered this - definitely worth exploring, I bet a handful of those guys

Or Matt Hadley for that matter. I can't believe we had him bottled up for so long. He was a beast RB in HS.

Not only did we not go after a single RB in the portal... we added like 5+ QB's...
