"If you pray, the lord will tell you BYU is where you need to be".

Side note, My son HATED (dispised) Bronco. My wife walked away from that meeting with the same feeling.

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

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

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

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

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

rainorsnow

Everything within the football realm at BYU falls on Kalani

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

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

I'm guessing it boils down to this:
