Players are staying because of NIL.

Our NIL is improving. We've got good momentum. Rome wasn't built in a day. It will take some time to get B12 talent, but

HarlemCoug

#2 and #5 were heavily pursued and byu would love to have them

BYU '80

Nov 27, 11:39pm

Actually we aggressively recruited #2, #3 AND #5...

icecougar

So? The 2 players Pope signed are as good.

ManicBlue

I agree. I’m just wondering what these kids are seeing out there

OU Cougar

Surprised Kozlowski chose USC over BYU actually.

ManicBlue

He was looking outa state all along. Pope did try hard.

SinkingQuffa

12:37am

Don't know bout #1, but I was among the many who wanted Davis & Behr over #2 & 3

SinkingQuffa

Nov 27, 11:46pm

Both players BYU signed have 88 ratings

Don't care bout the #s. Behr is a strong, 6'4 combo guard.

BYU '80

Good luck attracting and keeping all of the 4-stars he recruited if they aren’t going to have a tight end coach

Alex Clark

That could be the risk. They would still need a TE coach but it would be combine
