And he made it sound like we shouldn’t expect much. He even said “we have no holes to fill”. Does that mean he expects Lopini Katoa to be the feature back next year? Because BYU def is in need of quality depth at RB.

grad transfer from Rice helps depth

BlueFrog

What are the chances of getting this guy?

We don't need depth we need difference makers

CougarCanuck76

The coaches should just head up the street to the difference-maker store, then

Coop

He said he has a large returning class.

yeah, a team as dominant as BYU doesn't have really any holes to fill. they

smokymountainrain

1/17/19 7:21am

I still say the main holes were in the coaching philosophy.

mudpupper

1/17/19 7:23am

absolutely. You dont go from a 8-9 team win team to crap like he did

bald man

Wanting an upgrade is not the same thing as needing to fill a hole

Coop

1/17/19 7:24am

agreed

smokymountainrain

1/17/19 7:26am

Katoa + Tolutau + Fonua isn't terrible

rggee

1/17/19 7:21am

+ Finau + McChesney

molodyets

1/17/19 7:29am

And Algeier, there's a lot of unproven you guys.

Kajdin

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt an take that to mean scholarships open

fulano

1/17/19 7:25am

He's already doing damage control when nothing of note happens.

mudpupper

1/17/19 7:40am

or he is saying that most of the class already signed in December

fulano

1/17/19 7:43am

Then he still needs damage control for December's class.

coolblue

1/17/19 7:54am

You mean the class of three star guys?

cougarmanguy

1/17/19 8:16am

Or he's read CB and knows how poorly many fans take to anyone's positive take on

StarMan

1/17/19 8:08am

This. It doesn't matter what he says. If he was super positive and upbeat then

Murray

1/17/19 8:34am

exactly right.

Adrielle

Lowering the bar so we're happy when the class is better than expected

Steward has been on the road recruiting

donnerstag

1/17/19 8:50am

Do we know who these targets are or can you not say?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

1/17/19 9:07am

We know who several targets are

donnerstag

1/17/19 9:23am

Gotcha, thanks

Tuskaloosa Cougar

This guy's dad played in the NFL

Coop

1/17/19 11:32am

Gotta be that kid then. Would be a major get at RB

BrutustheBrash

1/17/19 11:41am

I was hoping that SN would specifically ask Sitake about RB recruiting

mellomike

1/17/19 9:07am

Sitake can't talk about any specific recruits, so answer would be coach-speak

boscatar

1/17/19 9:30am

I wasn't looking for details about specific recruits, just that he acknowledges

mellomike

1/17/19 10:06am

So you want him to put down the guys he already has in public?

molodyets

1/17/19 11:58am

Hard to talk about recruits when the NCAA won't let you

molodyets

1/17/19 9:45am

then he will get injured and no backup

Count Cougar

1/17/19 9:08am

Honest question.... Does dude ever sound enthusiastic about anything in

LiveCoug

1/17/19 10:08am

He answered truthfully: no hole and have capable players. Compare to '10-11

kapcreations

How did we do vs utah when injuries hit? We dont have depth.we dont haelstsrters

CarolinaCoug

1/17/19 11:53am

Considering we went to our 5th string RB, not too bad.

kapcreations

1/17/19 1:50pm

You forgot about Hine in 2015. He did well in the first two games before injury

puntersarepeople

1/17/19 3:39pm

Agreed, although Hine had similar vision issues to Burt.

kapcreations

1/17/19 4:38pm

Hine finally figured it out against Boise State in 2015

Coop

Katoa is a solid back. But yes we do need 3 more solid backs.
