Sitake acknowledges they should’ve recruited him and it was a mistake not to. Article says essentially the day Detmer left they came calling.

‘All about family’: How those closest to Zach Wilson — Ute fans to the core — influenced his football trajectory and played a hand in landing him at BYU

BYU quarterback Zach Wilson comes from a family of highly successful, driven people on his mother’s side and a dedicated father who compensated for the shortcomings of his own childhood

It was mostly because it Ty’s nephew. Luckily it turned out for us and Wilson

We coulda had zaddock dinkelman instead

He was choosing to offer his Dinklemann, his nephew, over Wilson.

Remember when his other nephew got to play in a game for BYU?

Was the first QB to throw a decent pass to Trinnaman. Ula hurt more

Graig Swame

8/25/19 6:21pm

He was 7-20 for 90 yards and 3 ints

Thank goodness. We found a gem.

Unless your relative is very very good

Where's he playing these days? I'd say this is more evidence that Ty wasn't ready for college.

Some tiny college in NorTex

Sitting the bench at Texas A&M Kingsville, a D2 school.

They were recruiting Dinklemann.

BYULAWGUY

8/25/19 5:52pm

What does that have to do with the fact that he’s at a Division 2 school now?

RdF3

8/25/19 5:58pm

Different nephew

BYULAWGUY

8/25/19 6:01pm

Same nephew. Dinkelmann is at a tiny school in Texas.

Both Koy and Zadock are at the same school.

From this article it appears he is competing for the starting quarterback at

Agreed

SUAVO

8/25/19 5:45pm

Yep

PessimisticCB

8/25/19 5:47pm

So Ty didn’t want Zach and Kalani did?

PessimisticCB

8/25/19 5:40pm

Perhaps it was good he got fired....Just saying.

PessimisticCB

8/25/19 5:42pm

Yep and Kalani was clearly right.

kahuna

8/25/19 6:33pm

It's unfortunate, but Detmer was a serious disaster for this program...

Coug

8/25/19 6:01pm

This happened with another QB in the state too- Kalani said Ty botched recruitin

1984coug

8/25/19 6:18pm

Maybe just Ty

PessimisticCB

8/25/19 6:24pm

It probably would’ve been a lot better had the other coaches been better

puntersarepeople

8/25/19 6:29pm

Same can be said about Ty maybe more So.

kahuna

8/25/19 6:36pm

Look at those offensive coaches

Charger

He was fired before Holker

puntersarepeople

8/29/19 6:45am

The former O staff are good men and they brought in some good players.

Blue Coat

8/29/19 5:44pm

That group could probably win at the high school level, but D1 college football was asking too much

Bonoman

8/26/19 12:42am

Who?

NacoCoug

8/25/19 7:51pm

There were a couple of qbs in state (including Wilson) that kalani met with and

Great article.

Heath Squashwell

Since when did CB become the land of Detmer bashing?

Seasider

8/25/19 8:11pm

Since he led the worst offense at BYU in three generations?

SpiffCoug

8/25/19 8:31pm

Yeah I don’t understand the dwelling on Ty

puntersarepeople

8/25/19 8:38pm

Cougar board literally bashes every coach. Why is Ty Detmer off limits?

PessimisticCB

8/25/19 8:39pm

Agreed. When you are a legend that is why you don’t come back to your alma mater

Cougstreak

8/25/19 9:06pm

You can interpret comments like mine as bashing, i see them as fact. I wasn't alive for his Heisman. I understand what

monkeycowboy

Detmer was a legacy hire

Mattattack159

8/26/19 8:17am

When it comes to Ty as a player - he's a god. As a coach - not so much.

Santos L. Halper

8/26/19 8:26am

That was a great read

Coug98

8/25/19 8:52pm

Yes. This article is exactly right. Family.

buckles

8/25/19 9:15pm

A very well written piece!

Mr.Flores

8/25/19 10:42pm

Very disappointed w/ these comments

Palestra

8/25/19 10:57pm

Or maybe the opposite. The fact that most BYU fans still love Ty after they way

Neither was Wittingham, the coach of his dream school

cougarnw

Kalani has never passed up an opportunity to throw Ty under the bus

cougrfan70

8/26/19 8:49am

Kalani was right.
