1. It's BYU
2. Because they really like Kalani (and staff and players)
3. Because Kalani is Polynesian

What level of ESP is required to get granular data like that?

Has BYU landed a single Polynesian recruit that we wouldn’t have otherwise

Not necessarily Polynesian related, but the only reason we got Tonga was KS.

You can’t really know I’m sure there are plenty of recruits

when they say, "I was going to accept at USC, but since Kalani is Tongan, I decided to go to BYU."

Is the loss due to choosing P5 schools instead?

Wasn't the claim before KS became coach that he would be able to land more of

Who was the claim made by? Cougarboard? Yes, I don't think BYU

I think ethnicity is only a relevant bonus if you are winning too

Sitake has been extremely underwhelming as a recruiter

Four year recruiter maybe. But talent is not the problem

Maybe based on the recruiting rankings but

Too bad they don't play all that well to win games.

I don't believe he's underwhelming but rather the lack of a good win-loss

OR.... was Bronco better than we thought?

Pretorian

Agree 100%.. it was the biggest pitch that his supporters (including me) were

cougfanz

Same boat here

He's done pretty well imo. The biggest weakness he has is he can't lead this

Ash

Hard to say he’s failing with wins over Wisconsin, Tennessee, and USC

puntersarepeople

Yes, Kyris Tonga

Pretorian

1/15/20 3:47pm

Yeah aren’t they closely related family

BYU should institute an entrance interview.

Ham

Lots of transfers his first season came because of Kalani.

displacedute

I refer to it as the one time gift based on Sitake hype

kooogar

1/15/20 7:53pm

Less impressive? Ty'son williams, Mo Unotoa, Pepe Tanuvasa

That was partly because BYU gave his dad a job.

dYrtbYkerYder

1/15/20 9:08pm

Maybe, but he wasn't even really considering BYU before Kalani became HC

slatecoug

1/15/20 11:19pm

Dont know if he will turn out but I literally just read an article
