I wouldn’t call it a snub. A top athlete who has had her mom has coach

When Coach Whiting was on BYU Sports Nation…

So her tenure will start with a big thud then.

Perhaps. But let's give her at least a year. I have NOT

So she isn't going to try to flip committed players? That's a bad philosophy.

I wouldn't read too much into that. She's giving herself and her daughter some

I have to believe that the Oregon coaching staff is anticipating a flip now

She came off as hypocritical, or bad at her job with that statement.

I agree - recruiting a player doesn't stop because they commit to another team.

I sincerely hope that was just fluff she gave the media.

Thank you. Thats my 2nd correct response this entire year!!

Pergamino

5/23/22 10:47am

And she is still recruiting BYU's current players even though they are committed

NewMexiCoug

5/23/22 11:07am

And I don't think its fair to expect a coach to recruit their child like they

What's a commitment?

Does this mean she won’t accept

pappabear246

Then there is absolutely no reason to hire someone with her resume

Oregon already has two top 15 PG committed for this year.

5/23/22 10:21am

And Kelly Graves was in AZ Saturday looking at another one

OC Coug

I completely agree. Not a good look if she can't get her own daughter to BYU.

Ham

5/23/22 10:34am

I've coached my kids for years. They need other coaches to get them further in the game. Same situation can be seen here

I'm sorry, but no.

How many kids want to do what their parents want them to do?

It will be interesting to see where her daughter plays her HS SR year. Will she

I think she will stay in Burley

LakeshowCougs

5/23/22 11:54am

Easy, she just needs to take away her cell phone until she commits.

99% chance Amari is at BYU

OC Coug

5/23/22 11:39am

I can think of a couple reasons why Amari would opt for OR: 1 She wants the

Forzaitalia

The unique BYU culture isn’t for her? Yet the unique Burley culture is??

LakeshowCougs

5/23/22 11:55am

It's possible not necessarily probable. Of course, I don't know the kid.

Forzaitalia

5/23/22 2:51pm

Burley is the parent's choice not the kid. All these posts saying it'd be a ding

Yes but the #1 reason not to go to Oregon

Having lived in Eugene, I would do everything I could to get my daughter to BYU

I was going to write the same thing, but you beat me to it. No way would I want

LV Mike

Don’t you think the mothers hiring was based on getting her daughter to BYU.

Eugene is a town that enjoyed the 60’s to the max and never left it behind.

It’s not that cut and dried imo…

icecougar

5/23/22 1:51pm

Yes because her daughter is one of the best players in the country.

And a ton of fans complained when R Reid played his sons
