I agree and I think it’s a home run hire
But he’s gonna have to prove to me he can recruit before I get too crazy

This writer, Mike DeCourcy, is not impressed by the Kevin Young hire. Haha

Tbh those are valid concerns

Exactly. We are in the honeymoon stage rn but he is right

You are correct. But there are a tone of things unique to BYU that make this hire better than the average NBA guy

I think his comps are all a bit lazy. Each that he cited is a former NBA player

I agree with your point, Charles Darwin. Comparisons are a bit lazy.

True but his 9% number is way off. Those NBA assistants that go down to college usually aren't great assistants in NBA

Recruiting isn't as big of a deal with NIL.

But it might be with BYU's NIL situation. If we have players looking elsewhere, that suggests the BYU NIL, meaning

Most seasons we're not going to have Kentucky going after our players.

But we do want to be competitive in that space anyway when they have BYU/Utah ties

Exactly why those assistant spots are even more important than usual.

That's exactly right. You have to separate the top assistants in the league from guys that are way down on the bench.

Like it or not, ya gotta imagine this is what our recruiting competition is telling our former players & our prospects.
