it was encouraging the Cal alumni to donate to the Cal NIL collective

cwilke1

And to make sure speculations didn't derail that or recruits.

Soupie

He probably knew he wasn’t leaving so wanted to squash rumors

Might not have been interviewed but I’d be shocked if byu didn’t send a feeler.

VenturaCoug

It might have been the classic, "I'm taking my name out of consideration"

2ndTrombone

3:40pm

Is that confimred they only interviewed one? I am guessing they reached out to

johnnybyu

3:44pm

Yes, young was the only person they interviewed. But I’m sure they reached out to several candidates to judge interest.

JOPE

4:06pm

Exactly one "official" interview. Doesn't mean much but happy to have KY

johnnybyu

4:10pm

Probably had people reaching out to him and his recruits about the BYU spot

There are two reasons we can't continue to call him KY. We can do better.
