Major reason for feeling that BYU football is underperforming- in state recruits

The recruiting problem should have been fixed when we got the B12 invite.

It's almost as if Utah had some sort of recruiting advantage over us during that

Some of Utah's advantage will remain based on changing demographics.

True, Utah did have an advantage with P4 membership but there

Part of the advantage was money to recruit and more manpower

How anecdotal is the "lazy recruiting" line versus solid evidence?

There have been reports by those who have far more knowledge & info

Sports media figures don't know anything more about this subject than anyone

Media figures have 1 on 1 or small group conversations with recruits, family,

They DO know more than others due to the nature of their business. Not

Real reporters, like PK, literally talk to lots of recruits and their family

One of the anecdotal evidences are people getting on CB and saying how little

Yeah, I don’t think anything changed. Utah got the top guys except for Satuala

I remember when recruiting was supposedly Kalani's greatest strength...we were

We continue to underestimate the influence of the Honor Code

Excuses. Look what Hill, Pope, and Young are doing. KS doesn’t get a pass.

Kalani is an excellent recruiter, when he gets in a Recruits house he is amazing

JOPE

May 27, 9:33am

And WHO is responsible for the hiring/firing of "said assistant/position

gopman

May 27, 9:49am

Obviously Kalani, but there is a lot more to the story

JOPE

This last recruiting cycle was a big win for BYU, hopefully the trend continues

Kalani put his buddy ahead of the program. It's what it is

This is also true…. Unfortunately

Atmospheric_Cougar

Kinda, but it’s not that simple.

Those coaches were KS hires. Once again, he doesn't get a pass here. For me to..

LateToTheGame

Problem with Kalani is that he values relationships over results.

gopman

May 27, 12:45pm

But I thought Utah was the "little brother". The Utes sure don't act like it.

As the littlest of five brothers, I can attest that regardless of program

StarMan

May 27, 10:29am

Big12 fans are quickly finding this out

SUAVO

May 27, 11:28am

Have you interacted with Utah fans. They definitely act like a little brother

SUAVO

May 27, 11:27am

Is it possible Utah recruits prefer Whittingham over Kalani?

Croweater

May 27, 11:01am

Definitely, but there is also a lot more to recruiting than the head coach

Please don't compare Basketball Recruiting to Football!

With defensive recruiting, Tuiaki was more lazy than bad
