Pope's intelligence & exuberant charisma will not be denied results if he continues to relentlessly recruit like he does. He WILL start to land some kids we would otherwise think as impossible gets for BYU.

And yet if he strikes out entirely on the transfer portal the rest of the way this year--& even next--& I still don't see him letting up. That's what has me most excited about this guy right now. Excellence requires an incredible amount of energy as well as vision & intellect. "This Mark Pope" (to use his sort of vernacular) really has an endless supply, it seems.

We're very fortunate.
