for you. Thursday, December fourth edition of Cougar Sports. All
is well in Cougar Country as we get your prep
get you ready that BYU Texas Tech matchup. Do you
feel like the distractions of the Kilani Sittake contract extension
will leak over into Saturday's game?
Speaker 4: Are you concerned at all?
Speaker 1: Or do you feel like that was put to rest
early enough in the week that it won't be an issue.
Speaker 4: How do you feel about BYU's chances versus Texas Tech.
Speaker 1: What does the data show regarding college football teams that
have to play each other twice in one year? How
often does the the initial team okay, that initial win,
can they get two wins? How often do we see that?
I want to talk about that. Also, a little nugget happened,
A little nugget dropped from Richard Johnson, CBS Sports that
I want to get into.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: It's something I've heard over the last couple of weeks.
We've discussed it, but now it's essentially to a certain
stent on record. Okay, the fascinating story behind how Kalani
Sitake was retained.
Speaker 4: You can check that out. I retweeted it earlier today.
Speaker 1: Shayn j Raja as well CBS Sports put it out there.
But and I quote, this is what the article stated.
I want to discuss this. A common quip in BYU
circles is that the Texas Tech team the Cougars are
about to face in the Big twelve Championship game has
a defensive front that is paid more than BYU's entire team,
and CBS Sports actually put a number to it. The
entire nil offering on this BYU roster is ten million
dollars ten million, which you know, okay, that's a lot.
That's a lot, right, But when you really you stack
it up against Texas Tech, Texas Tech spent per Trevor
Matic twenty eight million dollars, so your significant lee lower
than Tech. This is like the New York Yankees, the
Los Angeles Dodgers and their payroll versus the the old
moneyball Oakland A's that's what we're talking about here. That's
the comparison to a certain degree. That's where you're at
your You're at least two almost three times right less
in payroll at b b YU at bringham On University.
I find that, you know interesting. I think that's an
intriguing number.
Speaker 3: Can David slay Goliath in Arlington?
Speaker 1: Is the question, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen. We'll

Speaker 4: Beautiful Thursday to seven fourth edition Coruger Sports.
Speaker 1: Let's welcome to the former Sideline reporter from Buy Your
TV work for the Utah Hockey Club. Now he's reppin'
Couger Sports here on ESPN the Fanlists. Welcome in Brett
always bring the hammer hammer Time show, also of the
Plea Network podcast which never puts up Hammertime.
Speaker 3: This whole ESPN putting up the graphic where they said, neoli,
it's getting some solid attention.
Speaker 4: Hartland College Sports just put out an article.
Speaker 3: About Jason Zepherd tweeting it, and then BYU's a football
account actually responded to that tweet that Shepherd put.
Speaker 4: Out, and they responded to the tweet with.
Speaker 3: An image of BYU's resume compared with Alabama, Notre Dame,
and Miami. So, I mean, look, usually you don't see
like the official BYU accounts to a whole lot of campaigning,
or any schools accounts for that matter. BYU no longer
has any quips, any boughts about it.
Speaker 4: We are campaigning. We truly feel like we.
Speaker 3: Are getting robbed right now, and they are making sure
everyone knows how they feel about it.
Speaker 1: We give zero fornication under the consent of the Kings.
We give no flipping fetch f Right now, we're attacking,
We're we're on the prow in Cougar Country.
Speaker 4: We're gonna, we're gonna put the pedal.
Speaker 3: To the medal and uh put the committee their feet
to the fire.
Speaker 1: And it's about gosh dang time. Yeah, And granted, timing
is of the essence Timing is critical. If you put
the cart before the horse, can get a little bit
uh less humble, less hungry, right as uh, you know,
we'd like to say, how down here in provo under
killane staying humble, staying hungry, you know, uh, a little
love and learning. You can't let the pride cycle, you know,
just bite you in the behind. So like we weren't
like we were getting out front of we were the
propaganda you know police, and the propaganda hype train was
not in effective to this time. Even Brett, you or
Mark very hesitants until that U of AASU game to
go on record and start publicizing his second best team
in theerence.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Brett was very slow, he
was very hesitant.
Speaker 3: And now all of a sudden he's like, oh yeah,
but what he definitely belongs in the playoffs.
Speaker 4: Really, where have you been for the last four weeks? Brett?
We love you? You monetization maniac, that's what you are.
Speaker 1: You're right outside the box, just uh baller shot goll I,
always figuring out a way for the Big twelve to
get them big old.
Speaker 3: Bucks in the pockets. What can we monetize the day?
Speaker 4: Where's that money?
Speaker 1: Go, by the way, the fifty thousand, well and the Mormons.
Speaker 3: I just keep seeing all this money that the Big
twelve picks up, this new deal with Monster, which by
the way, look I'm I'm a big Monster guy, but
the Big twelve serie go zero sugar.
Speaker 4: But the Mango Loco is really good and I have
to stay away. Anyway.
Speaker 3: We keep seeing the Big twelve pulling all these deals
and it's really cool, it's really awesome.
Speaker 4: It's open for business all these things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then my question is where's all this money
actually going? We're getting this all this getting that bonus,
I what bank acout?
Speaker 4: Is this being deposit? That's what I want to know.
Speaker 1: Is this trickle down economics? I know I'm a big
fan of the trickle down economic A Big twelve radio
host kind of that is it kind of what the
show like, does we get any you know, we're supporting
the Big twelve.
Speaker 3: Yes, we're a Big twelve affiliate. Yeah, putting out that
Big twelve content probably.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So that's a really good point. Man, where's that money?
Speaker 1: I was trying to figure out, like, you know, where
the f the Mormons fees go to?
Speaker 4: Like whatever?
Speaker 1: You know, we got like, yeah, you got a few
of them fifty thousand dollars fines. It's like, all right,
well where did that fifty k go? Can we get
some of that? I'm betting why I said to give
a raise. We may have to use some of that
fifty k for the f the Mormons.
Speaker 4: Chance.
Speaker 3: You know what, though, they should have to put it
towards that school's NAL fund. That's what they should do.
That would be incredible.
Speaker 1: That would actually be pretty incredible, very nice, speaking of
f the Mormons. Uh, you know who's f ing the
Mormons right now? The college fotball playoff committee. They're they're
not saying it, they're just doing it.
Speaker 4: And they do say that. Actions speak louder than words.
I would rather.
Speaker 1: Someone say say it rather than do it. Let's be honest, right,
goodness gracious, like that's it's a it's a real thing.
Speaker 4: You have.
Speaker 3: Dave Portno, he's the he's the he's the biggest advocate
right now.
Speaker 4: That was not five bingo card. I mean, it's so funny,
like he went off.
Speaker 1: On this diatribe this uh this uh, this commentary about
how b YU is getting screwed, and he ended up
using the effort. Now, he says, Look, I know we're
not supposed to use the effort in provo, but provo, Dave,
is the exception.
Speaker 4: I can use the F word.
Speaker 1: If Look, I'm not asking, I'm not saying go listen
to it. But if you do, the only way you
can is if you serve the mission. That's the threshold.
Speaker 4: You've had to serve the Lord with all your heart my.
Speaker 1: Mind is straight, and sanitize yourself before the Lord by
thrusting in your sickle and serving your fellow man. That's
the only way you can watch a ratedar movie in
your life or say a curse word. That is the
rule of thumb here at ESPN the fan. But shout
out to stool Presidente for keeping it real, keeping it
real right now? Do you think any of this public propaganda? Okay, Like,
my favorite meme is probably that I don't know what
stems from You guys would know better than me. It's
that guy in front of that like tack board and
there's all these like connecting dots everywhere.
Speaker 4: It's just like confusing, and you don't know. I believe
it's always sunny in Philadelphi.
Speaker 1: It's okay, always sunny in Philadelphia and like, and that's
why the conclusion, that's why BYU is not in the
college football playoff top ten. You have to use some
mental gymnastics, figure skating type of subjective grading and rulings,
and it's it's it's unfortunately, it really is.
Speaker 4: But b YU is got it. They got a good chance.
Speaker 1: I think a better chance than Vegas gives them to
win this game in Arlington. I believe that interesting. I
had a great conversation today. I was like, look, it
is individual, an individual of credibility, an individual of pomp
and circumstance.
Speaker 4: And I said, look someone that that.
Speaker 1: He's very much intertwined and down there every single day
within the BAU football perer.
Speaker 4: I said, hey, what's what give me?
Speaker 1: Give me the optimistic take, Like, what makes you optimist
in that BYU can go into Arlington and get a victory.
Speaker 4: And he enumerated these things.
Speaker 1: Number One neutral setting, sold out, sold out stadium. B
Yu's gonna show up for this, Okay, b Y, he's
gonna it's gonna at worst it's fifty to fifty.
Speaker 4: At worst.
Speaker 1: The it's at fifty to fifty. Okay, that's what he said.
So I'm Okay, fifty of the fans being Bay fans.
That's incredible, that's fantastic. Okay, So you're gonna have that
neutral setting. You don't have the the the audio being
pumped into the stadium like you did in Lubbock. You
don't have the wind elements that screwed BYU, the the
the muff punt and the shaked punts that sets you
back and didn't allow for momentum and put your defense
in a very precarious situation. Also, the throw game was
a little bit off, right. So remember the throw game
was off because we went max Pro and we had
two man routes and we weren't winning on those two
man routes because they were literally getting pressure with four guys.
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna change it up a little bit.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna allow for space and some quicker
route kind of runs in route concepts to come early
in that drop back game and some quick game employed.
So that was another thing I said, Okay, sweet, I'm listening.
Speaker 4: I'm here.
Speaker 1: He's like, Furthermore, this is the healthiest we've been all season.
Speaker 4: This is healthy. Sony MOA's back for RB two.
Speaker 1: Chase Roberts back Hammy, they have their two dam justin Kirkland. Okay,
he's back in the lineup, and he said Purcell should
be back in the lineup, right Keanu and John tellwy
Peyo back in the lineup right there they've been in
the lineup. You know you got Tommy prass Is coming back. Okay,
you have depth at certain positions, key positions. Uh wayler
Lapa was listed as the as you know that he's back.
I don't know if he is, we'll see, right, but
he said when they were healthier than they've ever been.
I'm like, okay, I may just become a believer here
that b Yu's gonna have a chance, like Lloyd Christmas
on Dumb and dumbers.
Speaker 4: So you're telling me there's a chance one in a million, Okay,
I gotcha.
Speaker 3: I read you. I'm not saying it's one in a million.
It's much better than that.
Speaker 1: I think ESPN Analytics is b Why you're like, what
thirty four to thirty five percent chance of victory? It
could be better than that. It could be a fifty
to fifty situation. Man at least to sixty forty or
worse to sixty forty situation I'm feeling better about it
after that conversation, right, feeling better about it. My guy
shout out to Mike Kyme former BYU great NFL vet,
the father of Braden Kyme, former BYU offensive tackle. Shout
out to Mike listening in right now. He says, I'm
all in on your caveat that. If I serve a mission,
I can use the F word.
Speaker 4: Ha ha ha ha. You can't. That's the thing people
don't really like.
Speaker 1: Like, you know, there's a lot of self righteous pricks amongst.
Speaker 4: Us right and telling me there's a chance.
Speaker 1: Sit, there's a chance. There's definitely a chance. Okay, I
call him ramy Ump the Mormons.
Speaker 4: It's uh. I put out my poll of the day.
Speaker 1: By the way, Uh, the self righteous of our nation
of Cougar Country.
Speaker 4: I asked this question.
Speaker 1: Is my polary, by the way, which group most wants
b YU football pushed into irrelevance?
Speaker 4: You know, just done with?
Speaker 3: I asked this question actually yesterday. Is it number one
Utahs fan base?
Speaker 4: Definitely? Uh? Number two?
Speaker 1: The self righteous sect of the LDS and Mormons who
think major athletics is the worldly gladiatorial worship right, it's
idle worship. It takes away from building the kingdom. Number three,
the CFB establishment, the College Football Cubal, the oligopoly, the
monopoly that they have there, the old order, the new
world order, the old world order of college football that
includes the playoff committee, right? Or is it just number
four anti BYU, anti LDS haters just want to see.
Speaker 4: It all burned down? Is there? In all the above.
Speaker 1: There's a pretty growing sect here of people that are like,
they just want to see by you go into irrelevancy. No,
but I I asked that question the Polar Day, and
UH number one has thirty eight percent of Utah fan base.
Number three, the college football establishment has forty one percent,
sixteen percent for the anti BYU, anti LDS haters, and
only UH only two for the self righteous sector of
the LDS.
Speaker 4: So what I'm saying is it's full circle here.
Speaker 1: We need more Jay Golden Kimball Mormons in our in
our people, is what I'm getting interesting.
Speaker 4: We need we need it.
Speaker 1: How do we normalize how do we humanize ourselves amongst
the greater populace. It's not you know, becoming hedonistic into botros,
you know, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Like, it's not that. We're not gonna engage in all
manner of laciviousness. We're not gonna do that. We're way
too righteous for that time type of tom foolery.
Speaker 1: Okay, not gonna happen. No, I sands much about that.
But you know what we can do. We can lay
on a thick, juicy f bomb whenever we're getting f
uc k by the committee.
Speaker 4: We all were getting screwed, are we not? We are right?
No FCC violation. I acronymed that. That's not a violation.
Speaker 1: He didn't say it.
Speaker 4: That's not a violation. Now check tape. That's not a violation,
no violation.
Speaker 6: Not a foul, not a foul, not a foul is
clean ball cuz.
Speaker 3: So yeah, And so the threshold to be able to
use to be able to use that though, you have
to serve the mission of full mission, not one year.
Sorry writer lines, sorry sorry, righty, No you can't.
Speaker 4: So what about Walker? Can Walker? Say it?
Speaker 7: Though?
Speaker 4: Walker was a year and a half. So okay, so
you're not okay the two years? Two years is the threshold.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I feel like two years should be
the threshold in order to just we gotta have some
integrity with this, Okay, we can just be giving it
out to whoever.
Speaker 4: You can't just let anybody use it.
Speaker 3: You don't just get to have it because you are
a b YU football player and serve a shy two
years like you, either all the way or not.
Speaker 1: In order to use that word. Look, the questions for normalization, humanization.
We got to be able to drop an F bomb
or two in our in these board meetings and say
you guys are screwing us here.
Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying. That's one of my theses today.
So don't judge me.
Speaker 1: Don't judge me, okay, because I I did serve a
me And look, look, you know the the questionnaire to
get into the Holy of holies, right like the holy
grounds of the Temple. They don't ask if I use
curse words, do they.
Speaker 5: I?
Speaker 4: They don't. They don't. It's not what they say. No,
it doesn't say that. I.
Speaker 1: Look, curse words are less less vile than drinking coffee, apparently.
So look that's where I'm at. That's where I'm at
in this whole mess. This is where I stand. This
is where shout out to Mike Kyme sorry for the
diets ribe guys, guys, Uh, check out the rest of

Speaker 4: Utah dot com.
Speaker 1: Yesterday was signing to have a big day at Cougar Country,
a top twenty class with side sealed and delivered. Let's
listen it to Kalonie Shatakes. He addresses it with the media.
Speaker 8: Really excited to announce our signing class for the class
of twenty twenty six, and I'm excited about the h
have a playmakers that we brought on to our program.
Speaker 5: And excited.
Speaker 8: I mean, a lot of them we knew about already,
and so we are really fired up about the uh
the talent that's coming in and the fit that they
are to our program. There's a good number of them
that are going to be going on missions first, and
then there's also a good numbers that are enrolling early
and starting school next month.
Speaker 5: So I feel like we've.
Speaker 8: Got a lot of our needs taking care of here
and to provide depth on our team, but also some
guys that can definitely compete for playing time right away.
And so I think overall, I love the class. I'm
really proud of our coaches. I just want to thank them.
It's a lot of hard work from our coaches, I
know that. But also our recruiting department. They've done an
amazing job and I don't think they get enough credit
for what they do. And and everyone that's just been
involved with BYU helping everyone else out through this recruiting process,
and it's been it's been amazing seeing all these you know,
we've recruited a lot of these guys since they're younger,
and now seeing them in the last year, it's you know,
time just flew by and now they're they're here and
many of them are going to start school next month and.
Speaker 5: So looking forward to it.
Speaker 8: But we do want to answer any questions that you
guys have from us, but you know, the other coaches
will be able to answer all a lot of the details.
Speaker 5: But I'm just really.
Speaker 8: Proud of the fact that we got a lot of
guys from the state of Utah in our backyard, and
then looking at the places that we were able to
hit different parts of the country, we were able to
scour the earth and find the best players, and I'm
really proud of the class that we have today.
Speaker 5: Cool questions do you guys have for me?
Speaker 9: First of well, have Dana Green.
Speaker 7: Big Dana Green or the ABC four the probably the
biggest name on this list, Rider Lions. A lot of
a lot has been made about him. How does he
fit in, you know, with you have a freshman quarterback? Now,
I know he's going to go on a mission I
believe for a year, So how does he fit in
in your long term plans? And just what kind of
talent is he?
Speaker 8: Well, I'm only allowed to discuss the players that are
officially signed, so you know, once we get to that
and once that's been public and then I'll be able
to comment on it. But until then I can only
comment on the players that are here. But we speaking
in general, we feel good about our quarterback position, feel
good about the town that's coming in there.
Speaker 7: Okay, sorry, I thought he had already signed.
Speaker 5: About that, trying to get me in trouble.
Speaker 4: Dana, It's hard to let's be on it.
Speaker 1: It's hard to stay up today on who's all signed, sealed, delivered.
He was committed and then he delayed it. And this
was earlier in the day, I remember yesterday, and he
had postponed it to what two thirty Pacific time. We
found out live on our show via his Instagram live
that he had signed at three thirty. Why did he
delay it? Well, he was committing with his high school
football team. Everyone was signing their national letterans and there
needed to be a few more things worked out.
Speaker 4: Apparently, here's my theory. Ready for my conspiracy.
Speaker 3: I know you're a man of who appreciates a good conspiracy.
Speaker 1: I didn't used to be a conspiracy theorist. Twenty twenty
changed me. I've gone on record on that.
Speaker 3: So remember when Rider Lions used to be considered by
some to be a five star when he was willing
to commit.
Speaker 4: What if? What if?
Speaker 3: Because it was a real article that we saw from
I think it was and Adam Gourney of Rivals, who
put out an article saying Rider Lions is at first
the article that we read said he's not going to
sign today, and we read an article saying he's unlikely
to sign today. What if Rider Lions put it out
to rivals that he wasn't going to sign today just
so that he could make them look bad for them
not making him a five star anymore, knowing full well
he was going to sign at two thirty because.
Speaker 4: Look what they had set up. There was But there's
no way that that was a last minute thing.
Speaker 3: Now yeah, could some one else have been doing it
and then Ryder hopped in last minute? Maybe he wasn't
gonna do it, Maybe was sure. But the more fun
theory to me is that Ryder line has wanted to
out rivals. I don't have any source on this. I
don't even know if it's true, but I just think
it would be fun if Ryder was like, hey, remember
when you guys said it wasn't a five star anymore?
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, you guys should put out the story that
I'm not gonna sign today, go ahead, knows full well.
Speaker 3: Two hours later tweets out, uh, yeah, I'm signing today,
really excited about it, and then.
Speaker 4: Goes out and signs mis rivals look kind of iffy.
I believe the conspiracy. I believe am Yeah. So I
wasn't going that route, but I like that one.
Speaker 1: I was going more the route of it's in a
similar vein with the five start. But he was going
to open up quotation mark his recruitment and receive offers
in more nil offers and then be elevated to five
star stats. But the problem with that theory, even like
most of the high level schools have already acquired in
their class the quarterback that they're gonna sign, so it
was kind of like it is too little, too late.
But I had that fleeting thought, sure for a second,
but I like yours is what I like yours more? So, Yeah,
Ryder Lions did eventually sign, so now Kaloni can talk
about them, which is great. By the rules, these arbitrary,
weird NCAA rules, Let's get back to it.
Speaker 4: The twenty twenty six signing class.
Speaker 1: By the way, By the way, Ryder Lions, Bob Mulitalo
offensive line, defensive line. I think you could also play
defensive line. Brock Harris tight.
Speaker 3: End, Adam Bywater linebacker, Ty Getchee tight end.
Speaker 1: All these guys are four stars, by the way. Lopetti
Moala also four star defensive line, edge rusher, Jack Stanner
offensive line, Terrence Serion, wide receiver, Braxton Lindsay linebacker, Kawe
Aconna wide receiver, Legend, Glasger wide receiver, Matthew Mason's safety,
Graham Livingston wide receiver, Parker or Digital.
Speaker 4: At the high level, three urs.
Speaker 1: By the way, above eighty five sep and I a
Latini athletes listen as an athlete, Antonio Johnson cornerback, Neomiah
Cologne defensive alignment, Justice Braithwaite cornerback, and Devon eka or
Eka running back. So that's your crew, that's your signing class.
There were nineteen signed and it was an overall rank
of twenty first. This is the highest recruiting class in
BYU modern era history.
Speaker 4: Let's get back to the South for Kilani.
Speaker 5: Next question from Mitch Harper.
Speaker 4: Kilani.
Speaker 3: I'm curious.
Speaker 5: I wanted to ask you.
Speaker 9: There were reports last summer that Texas Tech was getting
a roster of the team that you're gonna face this
Saturday more than twenty eight million dollars.
Speaker 4: I'm curious going forward with recruiting.
Speaker 9: Is that kind of like a number that it's going
to take to build a national contender going forward.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 8: I don't know if the the actual numbers. I don't
work for Texas Tech. Even though I'm friends with Joey McGuire,
I know that there's a lot of speculation on what
what how they got their roster together. But I'm gonna
first say that Joey is a great builder of culture,
and uh, you can see that the culture works in
their program, and you can see that it's been able
to embrace all those that are are current that have
been there for a while and developed in the program,
and the newcomers that have been in that program. So
in regard regards to NIL and REVS share and all
that stuff, we keep our things private here. Our goal
is to be in the be in the market, but
also make sure they're the right fit. Don't want guys
just coming just for money, you know, so they've got
to come for the experience. And obviously there's a lot
of money available. But if if they're number one thing
is money, then this is the wrong place. And if
the conversation starts off with money, this is definitely the
wrong place. And so we're gonna be focused on on
the uh, the fit in the program and the mission
of our school, and that other part would just be
more of a secondary conversation, maybe even the third conversation.
Speaker 1: There you go, that is uh, Kilani Sittake uh if
if money is the first word out of your mouth
when you when you arrive on a recruiting trip or
you get on the phone with any of these coaches,
it's like, hey, how's your nil. B YU is not
the right place for I've said it time and time again.
Speaker 4: You heard it reiterated. Uh, You've heard it.
Speaker 1: Proclaimed from Kilani Sittake, head coach of b YU.
Speaker 4: Uh. Entitlement doesn't work at b YU.
Speaker 1: And what's interesting is Scott Frost in his postgame when
he was elaborating on you know, how much he loved
and liked Kilani and how genuine he is and and
one of the things I asked him Scott is like, uh,
you know, how are you how are you developing your
culture and retaining your guys in this modern era, and
he's like he he, He discussed it and then he said,
I actually talked to Kilani about this, and Kilanie had
a similar experience where he had some poisonous people. He
didn't say poisonous, but it was. He alluded to it.
These he wants to bring in Scott Ross wants to
bring a culture, culture builders, right individuals that will buy
into that culture.
Speaker 4: And Kalani had to kind of, you.
Speaker 3: Know, xcise cut out the fat a little bit. That
was weighing the rest of the team down.
Speaker 1: Okay, And I think when you allow entitlement and nil
to seep in and that's the only that's the only priority,
that's the first party, run away immediately.
Speaker 4: If that is the first priority, runaway immediately. They got
to come.
Speaker 1: See and see the value of the transformational not the transactional.
Speaker 4: Nature of BYU.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to be competitive, They've said it time
and they don't want to be the highest bider, but
they want to be competitive. They want to fair market rate.
You're gonna hear that more and more. It's something I've
talked about. I feel like I'm embedding it into the
mind of people everywhere I've talked about the alignment of
the silos. I feel like that's come around. I've been
talking about that for over a decade, and I've been
criticized for it, and I'm like, no, this is all
things that we need to do, and we're seeing the
effectuation of it because we got the right leaders in
place with the right mindset that want to be holistic
and be great at everything. They want to be great academics,
they want to be great in athletics, they want to
be great spiritually, ethically, morally.
Speaker 4: They want it all. They want to be a lade
in all of it.
Speaker 1: And so I love that he just reiterated, Hey, if
you're the first words out of your mouth is filthy lucer,
you're not the right fit for us.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: He said as much in his presser with Brian Santiago
when they were talking about facilities, and Brian gave an
answer about how, yah, We're gonna go out and get
the best facilities, and Cloneae goes, yes, But I want
to jump in here and say if a guy is
coming here for a building, he can go somewhere else.
And I believe Cloneys went as far as to say
I'd look forward to playing him on later in the season,
because if you're just going there simply for the building,
then you're not necessarily bought into the culture again BYU's
competing fair market rate in terms of their facilities as well.
Speaker 4: But if if you're only.
Speaker 3: Going there for the material things that are there and
not trying to be a part of a winning culture,
not trying to be a winner yourself, than like, that's cool,
you don't BYU just might not be the place for you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go to break.

some Kalini Shataki commentary regarding his Top twenty five clash
in college football Colonie Shataki head coach b Yu and thanks.
Speaker 9: And then I just want to ask you about a
specific player that signed, Bob Mouli Talo.
Speaker 5: He converted over.
Speaker 9: From defensive line to offensive town during his prep career.
What do you like about his potentials maybe an offensive
lineman in your program going forward?
Speaker 8: Well, he fits in the line of guys like Kingsley
and Penay, that same body type guys that can play
D line obviously in college and the NFL.
Speaker 5: And the difference that I think.
Speaker 8: He's still kind of new to O line, but he's
really good at it and he can play He can
play either one. I mean, he can play whatever position.
He wants, and he's athletic enough to even play tight end,
so he's gifted. We feel like an O line position
would be good for him there, and we think he
can play early. We think he can compete for a
starting spot right away. We happen to have some openings,
but we also have some great rotation. The key is
the best play and the good things that he's going
to start school in January and have a great offseason
going into the fall of twenty six.
Speaker 4: All right, so Kilate, this is a rare thing. He
caught himself.
Speaker 1: He's like, we got some openings, we got good rotation,
we got depth, we have openings. What are the openings,
right who's gonna be graduating, who's not coming back next season?
There's openings for competition, is what he's getting at. You
don't give anything to anybody, but you know you have incumbents.
You got guys that have put in the work. If
he's gonna play guard, who's gonna play tackle? He mentioned
Penna sewel Right, Outland Trophy winner Kingsley Swamatia, a phenomenal
tackle for the Cougs, not playing guard for the Chiefs,
so he could go inside as well. So don't be
surprised if Bot is starting for the Kugs next season.
That's kind of what I took away from that particular commentary.
Now he's at a guarantee. No, he's got to come
in and earn it, but he's gonna be putting some
heat on that offensive line unit that is ultimately retained.
You look at the roster, you evaluate it, you look
at guys coming back off missions, et cetera. You can
see how there's some opportunity at the guard or tackle position. Remember,
Isaiah Jada will be graduating. If I'm not mistaken, he'll
be moving on. You do have your right tackle coming back,
Andrew Gentry, so he'll be back.
Speaker 4: Is he a tackle? Is the question?
Speaker 1: Are you gonna move Andrew over to left tackle? And
it would Bot compete at right tackle?
Speaker 4: Maybe? Possibly?
Speaker 1: The guard position is one that could be open too,
So we'll see how it plays out, but something to
keep an eye on, guys. Let's get back to Kalate
Satake commentary.
Speaker 5: Next question from Jay Hash.
Speaker 3: Yeah, plenty, just based on how thing's been yesterday with
new contractors reports, you're gonna have an increased amount of
nil are you.
Speaker 9: Planning on I guess strategizing keeping recruiting centralized.
Speaker 3: Are you going to want to go more national as
you guys get more and more prominent in terms.
Speaker 5: Of your recruiting prowess. We've we've always been national and recruiting.
Speaker 8: I mean that just because we want the players to
feel value doesn't mean that we're going to change the
way we do things our recruiting. Our recruiting would be
the same way, but we're gonna The fact that we're
in the Big twelve and that we have more resources
now is going to allow us to get into more
homes and allow us to get to communicate to.
Speaker 5: More people about what BYU is all about.
Speaker 8: And it's the mission of our school, which is aligned
with the mission of our team and so and aligned
with our church. The goal is to get the right fit,
and the right fit could be you know, in Australia.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 8: I've asked years ago for everybody to help me recruit,
so I still need that we were we're we're going
to recruit globally, but also you know, focus on the
guys here close to home and then and then there's
nothing wrong. I mean, we've gone all the way out
to Arkansas to get Brexcell Lindsay, Colorado, and Texas. So
we've been a lot of different places, but I don't
think we need to really change our protocol. We want
to have young men that fit the team and fit
the university. And then you know, and then we'll see
that the money increased resources doesn't change the.
Speaker 5: Way we do things. We have to still be we
we want to be updated, but we.
Speaker 8: Want to have old school principles and old school values still.
Speaker 3: And just to Peggy back out that real quick, are
you planning on adding more recruiting.
Speaker 8: Staff at some point on the line with the added
resources recruiting staff? He said, yeah, I mean within reason.
I just because you have I want to I want
to make sure that there's a purpose for it all.
You know, just because another school might have more doesn't
mean that we get exactly what they do. We want
to make sure that there's a there's a purpose for
them to be here and and that there's a there's
an actual.
Speaker 5: Job for them to do.
Speaker 8: So well, there's there's gonna be a lot of things
that we're going to improve and increase and but but
it's all got to be within reason, and it can't
just be We're not gonna be urging and spending where
we're gonna be.
Speaker 5: We're gonna be really responsible with the finances.
Speaker 1: Okay, so interesting commentary here. There's gonna be more maybe
an I L investment. How you're gonna utilize that n
A l. Uh, You're you're gonna I mean, that's gonna
be a council if you will everyone, uh, the the
the coaches as well as the maybe the recruiting staff
will be involved in that. But just because you have
more money doesn't mean you're necessarily gonna bring on more staff.
You have to have a purpose behind it. You have
to have a vision of how you're gonna utilize that staff.
Doze right the Department of Government Efficiency.
Speaker 3: Just because you have staff in place does not mean
like that they're that they're actually doing anything useful. We've
seen waste, billions of dollars wasted in government spending. Well,
and if you went out because the reports are or
at least it sounds like colonie, a big part of
this was to get other people paid as well. So
if you go out and get other people paid and
then you bring a new staff, then you have to
take money from somebody to give it to that new staff, sure,
which would kind of then defeat the purpose.
Speaker 1: Ye, yeah, yeah, I think there's probably some validity to that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you want to pay your guys that have earned it.
Speaker 1: And but look, I'm open to having strategic initiative hires
one hundred percent within that recruiting.
Speaker 4: Uh and vetting and curating process.
Speaker 1: I do think getting more tentacles out there, and Klanie said, hey,
we got we got an army of people out there.
They should all be recruiting to b YU. You know,
we always we used to say every member of missionary,
every b YU.
Speaker 4: Fan a recruiter. Now you can, now you can now
the the This.
Speaker 1: Is where it gets a little tricky, right, You start recruiting,
you start pounding pavement for Kilane, and you hand over
the kid and he's let's say he's a he's got
some G six offers. They may not get back to you.
And then you're like, hey, I just recruited for you.
Why don't you getting back to me about this guy
sending him out the camp looking for an offer?
Speaker 4: What's up? Oh about that? This one's not good enough?
He's not good enough?
Speaker 1: Like oh, like you know, but it's important to send
him to camps to get him out here so they
get coaches and get eyes on anyway, that's the that's
the trouble because.
Speaker 4: There's plenty of guys out there. There's plenty of football
players out there that have h offers. You know, they
they may be really good. Yeah, you're getting to the
point now.
Speaker 1: At BYU where they're gonna be a little bit more
judicious who they're taking in, who they're bringing in. So
it's gonna be tougher now than ever. So yes, every
BYU fan a.
Speaker 3: Recruiter, but don't get mad if they don't get back
to you right away.
Speaker 4: If they and if they don't offer the kid.
Speaker 3: You know what part of this conversation, like everyone wants
to be a part of BYU now, I guess is
what I'm trying to get at because I don't know
if you guys saw Bryce Harper was at practice with
the yun Ye, who, by the way, did not go
to BYU. In fact, when he was on game day
I think a couple of years ago, he's like, oh,
I do is root against BYU?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 4: Really? Now?
Speaker 3: Now that BYU's cool and really good and is the
most underrated team at all of college. For now, everybody
wants to be a part of BYU. Well, I think
BYU wants more p Look, the problem for BYU and
the LDS Church, in my opinion, has been and will
continue to be the lack of advocates out there, people
that are willing to put their name on the line
and say, no, you guys are wrong about BUYU.
Speaker 1: You're wrong about the LDS Church. You're wrong about the Mormons.
You're wrong about them, like.
Speaker 4: You have advocacy.
Speaker 1: If you don't have advocacy, then peoples to keep on
bad mouth and you can do. Going back to our
original segment, you know, the fortification under the consent of
the King and the Mormons, and everyone keeps on getting
fined for it, you know, but they're still they're muttering
it under their breath.
Speaker 4: And if the Mormons, if the Mormons and the committee
over here, like yeah, if the Mormons, let's put them
eleven af the Mormons, you know it, just like you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, it's nice to have Bryce Harper, you know,
two time Major League Baseball m v P. You know,
also repping the y a little bit. We needed, We
need as many advocates as possible. It's possible.
Speaker 4: We need we need you all.
Speaker 1: We need him, We need the ambassador. We need the
ambassadorship of Bryce Harper too.
Speaker 4: It's nice. Anyways, let's get back to Koloni Sitzaki.
Speaker 3: Next question from J Drew.
Speaker 5: Colonie.
Speaker 9: This is your eleventh class that you will sign this
month and in February.
Speaker 7: Where does it rank among the eleven classes?
Speaker 5: Big picture wise? What where is this signing class rank?
I don't know.
Speaker 8: I think a lot of people have different rankings, you know,
and kind of put the rankings up there.
Speaker 5: But it's interesting.
Speaker 8: We get guys that committed since June that had certain
amount of stars and they lose stars all of a
sudden because they're committed to us. And so it depends,
you know, when you're looking at the brand and who
people sign with all of a sudden, the people that
make the star system. I don't think you can bank
on that, you know. So for us, it's like what
what what what class was? Was Chase Roberts and Tanner
Wall and all them, you know, and you look at
and what we've done. We went eleven and one with
the signing class that are are seniors now some of
them went on missions, you know, So when you look
at that, I look at potential. I'm looking at the
potential here with this signing class, and the sky's the
limit for this. For this this class, we can do
some really great things with it. But I felt the
same way about all the classes that we've had and
the current the teams that are the guys are on
our team currently, I feel the same about them. I
feel like we've got a great thing going. We just
need to keep adding to the to the cit them
and these guys fit exactly what we're looking for on
and off the field, and we're looking forward to seeing
what they can accomplish. But overall, we we have a
we have our own measurement of how we're gonna judge
our players, and we think that's gonna work. We gotta
they gotta fit the culture first, because the culture will
help us win games.
Speaker 4: All right? All right? Uh, Brett, what do you got
for me? Commentary? Follow up to that?
Speaker 3: Salty Kilani is bat It's as soon as the season
Kala goes, we cut that.
Speaker 4: Here's Salty Klan.
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not looking at the playoff rankings. I'm
not campaigning until the season's over. Season's over. Yeah, these
recruiting places. As soon as as our guys commit to us,
then they lose stars.
Speaker 4: Yes, we should be in the I lo.
Speaker 3: This is my favorite version of Kilani, by the way,
because look, I get it, he has to do the
coach talk thing and he's not supposed to react to
all the stuff that we get to react to. But
this is my favorite version of Kilanie where he's like
he's just addressing the reality, where he's like, yeah, somehow
guys commit to us and they lose stars. What's up
with that? Well, you are empowered. Look when leadership empowers
you and.
Speaker 4: They say, hey, you're the guy, right, and media and.
Speaker 1: I would say analyst, I pundits, and coaches, head coaches
like Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire, they they step
up and go public and advocate. I don't know if
you saw this, like, for instance, Joey MacGuire's congrats to
the finalist the Shawn Alexander Freshman of the Year finalist
award Alabama quarnerback to John Lee, Miami wide receiver Malachi
Tony North, Texas quarterback Mester Maker, Notre Dame quarterback CJ.
Speaker 4: Carr, Ohio State quarterback.
Speaker 1: Julian saying Joey McGuire goes on records as congress to
the finalists well deserve and earned. But how does a
BYU team that's eleven to one, led by a true
freshman quarterback bear backber get left off this list? What
I'm saying is, would you start like, you know, pushing
the you know, pop a Polynesian bear Ford you, I
love you?
Speaker 4: Hey, We're right here behind. He's like, yeah, you know what,
love and learning. I'm gonna learn you something I've been loving.
I'm gonna learn you something. Now He's like, hakka, he
just hawker, Does you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like it was salty Killanie just gave you the hakka,
the verbal hakka right there.
Speaker 3: I like it. We're big fans of salty killin here
at the Espele. Oh yeah, very the biggest.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the biggest, the fans for salty Killane. Anything else? Ronald?
Did you want to try? And then I heard you
mumbling and stumbling behind that that SoundBite?
Speaker 6: No, I just I was like, he's back, like, you know,
just when you think the kilani. This is what I
love about Kalanie. Just when you think that he's gone away,
the competitive nature comes back of like what'd you say?
Speaker 4: It's like, it's just he never lets it go.
Speaker 6: Look like, don't get a twisted like and I look,
I hope this doesn't come off offensive. But again, Kolona,
the Polynesian culture very loving.
Speaker 4: They blew you up.
Speaker 6: I had to my train. It was Polynesian from West Valley.
Shout out to Paul A good dude, and he was
super nice. But when you poked him a little bit,
he turned that head and he looked and he'd be
like what you say, Like he reminded you like what
he would come for you. He had the salt of swaggers.
So I love that that Kilani's always having salty Coloni. Again,
I think it's the best reference I've had. He is
inside out, he is loving, he is joyful, he is salty,
he is anger, you name it all, and we always
get a little salty. I just hope that he's salty
on Saturday the Texas Tech and gets that big TWEF
title back to Provo.
Speaker 1: Yes, Cindy, let's get back to salty Kilate during signing day.
Speaker 3: Next question from.
Speaker 7: Dana Green all right, I got one that won't get
you in trouble. You about some of the longer private
shit to going on Twitter before I got on the
zoom call to see can you talk about some of
the local guys who have signed and when what they're
going to bring.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I mean they are all guys from
the city of Utah have been amazing. When you got
Kawa Anna and he's gonna play safety for us. He
does a great job. Adam by Water, he's a Ben's
little brother and a little big brother, you know. So
he's lie back at Olympus. Those guys can play and
there will be a defensive side along with you know,
Junior Walla from Oorum. He's disruptive and has tons of
stats and he's he's a force, you know, and so
he he's he's nice out of the group. And you know,
when you look at the offensive guys, you you add
into the Devon Nika from Lehigh running back legend Glasger
his teammate and and and those guys are family to
Isaiah Glasker. So uh, there's a gene there that allows
him to be super fast. And then you know he
got a big time playmaker Brock Harrison's down there in
Saint George area out of pie out of out of
pine View High School. And then combine that with Graham
Livingston h He's a big playmaker receiver out of Ridge Line.
So you look at the these type of playmakers, they're
they're all they all make a difference. And we have
other guys that are still like you know, we're looking
in this entire classroom that we're hopefully looking to add
some more, maybe a couple more, a few more in
this class and then and then looking to add a
few more in February when that happens, and that with
the combination of some people that will get in the
in the transferportal when when that does open, we'll take
a look at that and see what we have there
that will fit our program.
Speaker 1: Kalani sitak, Ladies and gentlemen, Look, Kilani is in a
situation right now where he's got a ton of momentum
and you're hoping, praying that he is ready to capitalize
on this momentum going into Arlington in playing Texas Tech.
That's what you hope you know what I mean, that's
what you pray for. I ran into here at Arthur
Prose of Utah and American Ford, a FedEx River.
Speaker 4: He's a big BYU fan. We chatted for a little bit.
He's like, I'm gonna come back. I gotta to work.
I'm wanna come I'm gonna come back.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you all the reasons why b YU
is gonna win a national championship this year.
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, I love that positivity, love that optimism. Cougarnation.
Speaker 1: Feeling good right now, feeling good like they should says
the song right. So intriguties excited and you can tell
Kilani was pretty amped about his signing class. Do we
have any other soundbites from Killani? Let's do one more,
Let's do one more question. We'll come back, Uno Maas
as national.
Speaker 7: As this program has gone, can you just discuss the
the importance of staying locally. You've always wanted to recruit local.
How key is it to keep these guys home?
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's great football in the state of Utah, and
so we wanna we wanna recruit here first. And you
know that it's one to take care of our backyard first,
and that's gonna be the key and a good number
of our roster comes from the state of Utah, but
we also want to make sure that we look at
other places that a place people that can fit what
we're doing here. It's a good mix. I think half
our classes out of the state. That's a good number
when you're looking at our year, our every year our
sighting classes have been around that and so I think
that's a good good mix right there. And then you
think they they got to play football first, they have
to be able to do it, and you have to
have the talent. I don't really care where they come from.
It's just a lot easier when you don't have to
jump on a plane to go recruit them.
Speaker 10: Last question will be from Brandon Gurney in Claudia to
the standoutible tight ads to your four star prospects and
broadcast and Hi, I'm just gonna call them tie from Colorado.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna Butcher's what I stay.
Speaker 7: But and then you got Ryn re Swanson on his
mission I kind of speak about.
Speaker 5: The tight end futures and just those two specifically what
they add to that position.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's awesome when you're looking at the
tight end position and you have, like you know, Parker
ord out of out of Frisco, Texas, and so I
mean it's those guys can all play. The hard thing
is that they're going on missions, you know, so uh
we've got to wait for them. But there's always a
good amount of people that go in and out from
them from returning in from the missions and and uh
guys that we can get in the transfer portal. But uh,
you know, it's it's helpful that when you know you
have big time ball ball ball players that are out
on missions and and and willing to serve a mission,
that's gonna be key for us. I think there'll be
great teammates and great leaders for us. And for me
it's like it's like hurry up, hurry and wait, you
know for that situation. But uh that the mission programs
that we're always gonna support. I serve the mission.
Speaker 5: So I get it.
Speaker 8: And I think it's gonna be really helpful when when
we get these guys back serving wherever they they're called
to serve the missions and doing some wonderful things. It's
gonna it's gonna make them even better as leaders.
Speaker 1: There you go, that's a lot of Sataki head coach
b Y football during signing Day, Let's take a brief
time out. We'll be back after a word from our sponsors.
But getting into it with Drake Tole coming up next
locked on Big Twelve, we'll get his thoughts on why
by He's getting disrespected into the college Football Playoff, Why
Bear Bachmeier is getting disrespected for Freshmen of the Year,
Why Kalone Sitaki is getting disrespected for Coach of the Year.
