was true for Gunner Romney. He was leaning Utah, but had a sub par experience on his visit there but was blown away by BYU. Let’s not all get bent out of shape about one bad experience an anonymous recruit may or my not have had.

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

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