But as we’ve seen with Louisville far from irreplaceable. Atiki hardly played. Khalifa wasn’t going to play for anyone this year.

It was rare even before the transfer portal to have no attrition year to year. There’s almost always players graduating. It’s even less common now. Compared to many if not most teams BYU lost very little.

BYU returned Saunders, Stewart, Traore, knell, Hall, Tripple. The players they brought in were upperclassman other than Demin and catchings who were major recruiting wins.

The lack of experience excuse is beyond Lame. Also, BYU is probably paying the current coaching staff north of $8 million per year. Fans have a right to expect more.
