If there’s a good player who doesn’t meet BYU’s academic standard, go

That’s a BYU problem not a coaching or AD problem. What

True; but there is still a minimum level expected. This is true for several

My cousin committed to BYU and had to get a 13 on his ACT.

My contacts in the Athletics Dept. have told me this is and has been true for

Likely someone in the athletic department or Tom

Well Tom is a ‘BYU guy’.... though I’m not sure having ‘BYU guys’

kotacoug

When Hans played BYU guy meant more than you attended BYU is why I included Tom

Sitake and Tuiaki.

SpiffCoug

He said not coaches

franklyvulgar

11/25/18 11:56am

Not coaches.

stev

11/25/18 11:57am

The excuses these guys make for our HC is laughable

OC Coug

11/25/18 11:56am

Or could it be as a former NFL caliber player, Hans knows more about FB than 99%

kolob32

11/25/18 12:28pm

Correct, so why didn't he go after Tuiaki for blowing a 20 pt 3rd quarter lead

OC Coug

11/25/18 12:34pm

Are you giving him credit for 3 qtr of the game? D looked liked a prepared team

kolob32

This....by the end of the game, Tuiaki was,

kansascougar

11/25/18 12:43pm

Uhh like most D1 programs we expect other players to come in and perform

OC Coug

11/25/18 12:54pm

Other players? We're talking players who got no D1 offers. Players who wouldn't

kolob32

11/25/18 1:00pm

OK so we couldn't have brought Butch in as MLB and put TakiTaki on the outside

OC Coug

11/25/18 2:05pm

That is his fault too for recruiting them.

Blue for Life

11/25/18 3:22pm

The hc and academic restrictions are probably also his fault.

kolob32

11/25/18 3:28pm

No but he is in charge of recruiting D players. If they shouldn't be on the team

Matt Richardson has my vote based on experience with him in South Bend

Please tell

Please

stev

Won't go into much detail, but let's just say

CLCougar

11/25/18 1:13pm

Was he insinuating BYU is in the midst of a pride cycle?

kansascougar

11/25/18 1:23pm

Nope. Let's just say he had an interesting way how he

CLCougar

11/25/18 1:27pm

sounds like he "big-timed" you. Didn't realize YOU are "kind of a big deal?"

Lol...nice try, but I'm an absolute nobody. Interestingly enough, the group I was with

CLCougar

This has been my interactions with him as well as many others... he’s a crook

Yeah, we're in the part where the "Lamanites" keep kicking our butts.

He gave a talk in GC a few years back right? Wouldn't surprise me.

I had him as a professor before he became an administrator and really liked him.

Alema Fitisemanu is one of them...not sure of the other but likely Jack Damuni.

DownwardSpiral

12/5/18 8:32am

Alema just joined this year.. and no way it is Damuni..

Cnation

12/5/18 9:05am

Damuni is obsessed with the program. Doubt it's him.

stev

12/5/18 9:27am

What makes you say that?

SL12

12/5/18 10:43am

100% not Damuni. He eats, sleeps, breathes BYU. He would do just about anything for anyone in the program.

RoaroftheCougartails

12/5/18 10:53am

Why him? whats his role? if you are going to drop a name you should back that up
