Lots of transfers his first season came because of Kalani.

I don't know how much of that is because he's polynesian, but it was certainly true. He was better at transfers than HS recruiting that first year or two. That's been less impressive the last couple of years, without an increase in the HS recruiting.

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

NOPE.

1/15/20 1:13pm

how can you really know this?

1/15/20 1:14pm

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?

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

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

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

Yes, Kyris Tonga

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

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

Maybe Khyiris Tonga and Langi Tuifua.

That was partly because BYU gave his dad a job.

1/15/20 9:08pm

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

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