They are disappointed we missed on positions of need and guys we know

We went after. There is nothing wrong with disappointment. I don’t think we know why we missed and the speculation as to why gets absurd at times

Saying you can’t gel as a team bringing in portal transfers is non-sense.

Kalani isn't the most proactive coach around

TNT

11:32am

Do you really believe that's THE reason for BYU's relatively low portal activity in 2024?

Underhill

11:35am

That’s a non-sequitur. Still have 85 scholarships and portal guys…

Lombardi

11:45am

Kalani is not the guy who is going to tirelessly outwork all of the other coaches around him

kimdaddy35

11:37am

Pretty good summary

TNT

11:37am

but what's interesting about that is he was billed as a GREAT recruiter

Mayor of Cougartown

That's why it is so disappointing

TNT

Yeah, but if my life were judged on all of the things my mom thought I was going

He is being paid a lot of money

TNT

It is pretty crazy that his purported biggest strength has turned out to be his greatest

kimdaddy35

Recruiting has fundamentally changed with NIL + transfer portal.

proudcugr

11:46am

It has and that is fortunate for Sitake has he has done better with this model.

kimdaddy35

11:49am

I think he is a great recruiter, maybe not a great closer

The issue is big donors don’t trust KS

How much of that is you connecting dots to match your preconceived notions?

Charles Darwin

11:40am

It's eight years of watching

TNT

11:41am

By watching you mean?

Charles Darwin

11:43am

Oh brother

TNT

11:49am

He's right

OldFogey

1:02pm

Lol. No he's not.

gopman

2:39pm

It is all based on experiences and results.

kimdaddy35

11:48am

So connecting the dots

Charles Darwin

11:52am

So only those who are LITERALLY in the room can have an opinion?

gopman

12:00pm

You can have an opinion on the results, where did I say you couldn’t?

Charles Darwin

12:02pm

Again, does one have to be in the room to have an opinion?

gopman

2:46pm

Again to have an opinion on the results? No. To have an opinion on the process

Charles Darwin

We still go after plenty of big recruits. Your assumption is 100% wrong.

kimdaddy35

12:15pm

I feel like he targets recruits he thinks he can get rather than every big star

Charles Darwin

12:27pm

LOL, he offered like 2 guys in 8th grade. Who we are going after has not changed one iota

kimdaddy35

12:33pm

I think these two articles list 7

Charles Darwin

12:42pm

LOL, they list 5 and one of them was Bronco's recruit. But nice try.

Charles Darwin

12:58pm

I love your lack of rationality. Let's agree the number is 6. Sitake offered about 500

kimdaddy35

1:17pm

What 8th graders has he offered recently? Where is 500 coming from?

Charles Darwin

1:33pm

So you are claiming that before he went after ones he knew he couldn't get?

kimdaddy35

1:43pm

Yes he just didn’t know it at the time and now he has a better idea.

Charles Darwin

1:51pm

According to 247 BYU has already offered 98 for the class of 2025.

kimdaddy35

2:05pm

Asked and answered

Charles Darwin

2:08pm

You claim the big donors are holding back because they don’t believe in him.

Charles Darwin

For example... Kalani sat in a recruits living room after Ty was fired and said

1984coug

12:30pm

I should add though that unlike many other coaches Kalani will treat their son like family

kimdaddy35

11:42am

IIRC Retzlaff said he didn't even meet Kalani until he was signed and on campus

byubyu

11:57am

This happened with Bronco to an extent... I remember an OL say that Bronco

1984coug

Really, really odd.

I was wondering how long it would take CB to go after Kalani again

Chicago Cougar

Ok. What is going on today. Why do fans seem compelled to accept random post opinions as fact? What do you really know

PJMort

That team brings back their starting RB, QB, and potentially WR1.

Charles Darwin

Because games are won and lost in the trenches

TNT

11:49am

Yep and BYU won far more than most

NYC and Japan

2:32pm

we need a better rb and most positions tbh

Amazing that this great season has produced zero good will for Kalani and Co.

I think you're mistaking a lack of complacency for a lack of good will.

russkiejedi

It's been about 20 days or so since our last game. Still have a good one to go.

Wife_Apologist

1:34pm

And what respect do you think he has earned? That people should pretend he does

russkiejedi

Lamenting portal recruiting when players are still able to join and most good

NYC and Japan

2:31pm

FSU went into the portal and it is going to cost Norvell his job if they aren't

1984coug

BYU has navigated the portal better than most.
