Just talked to a recruit that had BYU as #1. Said after his recruiting trip,

You should provide the feedback to the Coaches. Not every recruiting day goes

Please do this. Specifics so they can see or know where and fix it

yea because coaches really care what fans that arent involve tell them.

Is BYU making efforts to get feedback on these visits so they can make the necessary improvements?

Interesting. That's how our football team looked last year as well. Just kinda

I wouldn't expect recruiting trip organization falls on Kalani, but who?

viper

That would be my guess, but Kalani is their boss.

mudpupper

7/10/18 11:19am

Yep. Kalani is ultimately responsible for nearly everything football related.

rainorsnow

7/10/18 11:26am

Everything within the football realm at BYU falls on Kalani

kimdaddy35

Alema should be notified for sure

Buck stops with Kalani, why not Tom?

The girl soccer coach from UVU, no? Isn't that why they hired her?

Much ado about nothing I'd guess

HRCougar

7/10/18 11:11am

I would encourage the recruit to provide feedback or for chazen to do so.

Archaea

7/10/18 11:12am

I agree with this.

Tom Holmoe needs to be the first to go...

Actually - any feedback/surveys/research should be done by Holmoe.

We got rid of some of our self inflicted recruiting day issues. Maybe this recruit had a bad time but I have no reason

monkeycowboy

7/10/18 11:25am

Maybe it was an off day. Or their focus was on EFY that day.

I'm guessing it boils down to this:

Disagree. BYU is usually much more professional than the Yewts in presentations.
