So BYU still hasn’t landed anyone who wasn’t low hanging fruit

Of course they are. They already had BYU ties or had their lead recruiter get hired by BYU

I think our definition of low hanging fruit is different - all good.

I use to count on you for being positive but of late it’s not been that way…

Things are usually not as good or as dire as many think

And yet your post is not in the middle, your post is on the dire end

I’ve stated the current state of things, not made a prediction of what’s to come.

Dunson didn’t know KY when the head coach was hired - there was no tie

Guess what. Every recruit signs with a program where they've developed a strong relationship with one or more coaches.

that's not totally correct with how the portal works. Kentucky landed most of

Fair enough. Portal guys don't always have those relationships, at least to begin. But generally, before a player signs,

I didn't post to bash Coach Young, recruiting elite NCAA players to BYU will

Sure, understood. I didn't think you were bashing anybody.

So he gets minimal credit for hiring guys that have good relationships and

That’s how recruiting often works, much easier to get players by

Where is this guy when talking BYU basketball?

I don’t think that remotely resembles bailing

TBH, that’s the recipe for BYU’s success. Lock down your bread & butter LDS/Utah kids and then sprinkle in some others

How to land people you want? Find someone with the trust relationship to help you recruit. Same when looking for donors.

Even money can’t overcome the Honor code lol

And I’m not sure getting rid of the HC would overcome the cultural issues

The “I’d rather go to war than drink coffee” tik toks don’t help the BYU rep

Yeah Crawford sucks. He's only the 7th highest rated BYU commit out of HS...

I assumed you were being sarcastic, Indy. Koz, Keba & Elijah are pretty encouraging. Hopefully we can land

I realize that. And the Pope slanderers do have some humble pie to acknowledge on that end. Even still,
