Staying and developing is certainly becoming the road (far) less traveled. But it's also known to pay off for a lot players that actually do 1) stay in one place under the same staff and 2) develop and get better.

How do you keep a guy like Brody Kozlowski long term in this transfer portal era?

I expect a lot more transfers out in the KY era.

I expect more transfers out in the KY portion of the portal era than the MP

You sell him on the vision you have for his college career and why you're still the best place for his development

I think there's a good chance we do lose Koz, unfortunately. Just how it is now.

I count 6 for sure, who's your 7th?

I figure Bosko will be going back pro, but just an assumption based on nothing.

Definitely have to roll with the punches these days

Landing those dudes would be awesome, but if we need to replace 9 or 10 guys

You'd need to supplement with the portal in that case, but in the portal era

tacallaway

Oct 31, 3:42pm

Hopefully it's the latter. I'd love to keep 4 seniors with starting experience,

Yeah, Bosko has already registered once for the draft.

IdahoCoug

Oct 31, 3:27pm

Agreed, this is a test run to see if the Big12 can get him drafted. If not,

Convince him that if he's not ready to start at BYU, he's not pro-ready.

You'll need guys multiple guys that can stay 3-4 years

You definitely need (or at least want) guys to stick around in order to win.

He’s not going to play much this year with this roster

Where else could he up his game more than here. Practice has to be intense

If a guy cares about winning and developing as a player, he will stay. If a guy only cares about personal stats, he will

For starters, you go win Big 12 titles & Final Four runs. Kids want to be in big programs playing for big coaches.
