I really hope KY amounts to that. He's got more to prove as a D1 HC than Pope does, though.
I DO think he's a better hire than Pope was in 2019-20. And yet I DON'T expect KY's first year to be as wildly successful as Pope's first year was, either. The Big 12 is quite the grind for a 1st-year D1 HC I gotta imagine. Losing Chandler & probably Khalifa & maybe Dallin are all huge blows.
I really hope Young can pull some recruiting rabbits outa the hat in his first offseason. If he can't be a recruiting upgrade on Pope (which wouldn't be all that huge an accomplishment), I'm not so sure he leaves a better legacy at BYU if his career amounts to the same time frame.
I'm really pulling for KY, though. And for the moment remain very hopeful.

Coach Pope saved our program. Having the backing of a crowd/mob right now doesn't keep you from being an idiot.

If Pope keeps a heavy eye on Utah — or on BYU's interests — while at UK... he won't last two years there.

I'm not sold Pope will value them all that much. He risks a lot of criticism if they don't pan out for him at UK.

Ruechert probably will be a target by Pope, yes. I don't see Pope eyeing Utah recruiting much beyond that, though.
