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

Lombardi

11:31am

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

11:40am

That's why it is so disappointing

TNT

11:40am

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

Nakedbootleg

11:43am

He is being paid a lot of money

TNT

11:49am

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

kimdaddy35

11:43am

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

palangi

11:50am

The issue is big donors don’t trust KS

vegas guey

11:56am

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

2:55pm

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.

kimdaddy35

RE: I think these two articles list 7

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

Your answer is in direct contradiction with facts.

kimdaddy35

3:54pm

I think you need to read more carefully.

Charles Darwin

3:57pm

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

Charles Darwin

11:56am

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

12:31pm

Really, really odd.

kimdaddy35

2:06pm

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

Chicago Cougar

2:23pm

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

PJMort

11:40am

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

Viva Campeche

11:45am

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

Charles Darwin

11:47am

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

11:50am

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

12:38pm

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

2:49pm

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

11:57am

BYU has navigated the portal better than most.

AJ Dybantsa and Egor Demin were both amazing transfer portal pickups. Football
