Let me help you with a better story...

If you are going to call for a firing over a recruiting miss, it better be something like this...

My nephew grew up in Mesa and attended summer camps in Provo 3 years running because he loved BYU so much. The coaches never showed him any love so he stayed in state and now plays for Arizona.

My sister-in-law's little brother just joined the Church last year. I sent the coaches his video but they never reached out so he fell into Tom Izzo's lap.

If this kid wants the LDS lifestyle, why didn't USU, Weber, or SUU offer?

RdF3

Again, the kid is from Mississippi. SUU did offer though

There are plenty of legitimate gripes with the staff, poor recruiting isn’t one.

Stop talking cougarstats and look at rosters.

Oh wait, the same WKU who beat Purdue, USC, Boston College, and OK St last year?

Yep, the one that missed the NCAA tournament, just like BYU and got invited to

We were lucky to play Utah when we did. We would’ve lost to them in the NIT

If Western Kentucky is his best offer, and he turns out to be a stud, then
