Kohler to BYU
- Thread starter MidseasonTweak
- Start date
The church does need money to operate and help others but it is greedy imo to ask people for 10% of their income for life. It should be whatever you feel like giving when you can.
BYU always lead for him. Not a whiff if you were never in the lead for him, but narratives rule RR
If these kids love BYU so much, why do they ever leave the state to play basketball then go back?
They had a pre existing relationship from when Pope recruited him at BYU. Easy to see an hour being catching up and introductions to staff members they’re unfamiliar with. Then an hour and a half with fit talk, UK pitch, contract talk, etc feels very normal.
Maybe I’m just weird. My Italian mother in law can FaceTime someone for 3 hours and talk about absolutely nothing, no problem.
Well regardless im glad we are hopefully getting Mitchell. This guy seems like he just jerked Uk around.
I’m afraid with Sankey and the SEC asking the judge to rule him ineligible he’ll have a hard time getting to play. Don’t get me wrong I’ve went on record on this board I’d want Mitchell more than anyone although Kohler would have been great.
Look Mitchell has always been the first choice ,heck nobody knew he was a possibility till the zoom,They told him to wait and see ,and he didn't want to ,so I believe Mitchell will get the injunction and be a cat,he was always first choice
Pope might need to lay low for a while if Mitchell doesn’t get cleared.
Someone has to fund The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. It’s expensive to look that cheap
He obviously was interested in having him here. We didn’t make his final list for nothing. No matter if we led or not it’s still a miss for the team and Pope. I hope we can get MM wrapped up though, I think he’s a better prospect anyway.
I hope Mitchell gets ironed out. But Kohler was the better fit. We need rebounding and defense, and he is much better in one, and better in the other.
What about Garrison and the guard that went back to Fl and our shooter who went to Ole Miss?
Mitchell is the better playmaker and scorer. The ball will move well with him and with what Pope really likes to do.
Mark Pope was the coach before. Now he's gone and BYU is a big time program with cash.
Stanley did the same thing to Tennessee with Jalen Washington so it just seems he’s against 5th year players from 2022 getting that fifth year.
Mitchell is no different situationally than Aberdeen or Washington.

We didn't spend two and a half hours on a Zoom call with this guy earlier this week -- days before he was going to commit -- for "due diligence" you dope. We did it because we were trying like hell to get him to play here.
Because it’s his job to talk to recruits they may want and may want to come here. Some of yall act like we never used to talk to 20 plus recruits during a cycle.
I will say Pope keeping everything close to the vest and not having a media guy he leaks stuff out to does hurt and leaves the void to fill by a lot of assumptions.
"Out shooter who went to Ole Miss" was a scrub LMAO
How many hours do you think Pope has wasted on Zoom with these guys?
You can confirm Pope was there the entire 2hrs and not coaches and reps coming in and out with their own presentations?
So this guy was always going to BYU so it isn't a whiff? Then why did Pope spend hours on a call with him and has been connected to him for a month now.
You can't have it both ways on these guys. You can't act like we never had a chance with these guys so they don't count while the staff is spending tons of time prioritizing many of them and getting down to the final two in many cases as well. The amount of players we have lost to just BYU in the past 3 years is insane by itself, and that is just one school.

Probably no more than most coaches. Problem is, some read into it too much and think we are all in on a recruit just because Twitter said we had a Zoom with them.
UK was on a call with him for hours, your argument is other members of the staff also joined in so it isn't a miss?
My argument is that he listened to several presentations by different coaches and NIL people and had a QA with them as well.
I guess you could call it a miss since they would have taken him but it’s well known that Mitchell is there guy.
Exactly.
So the logic of "well we didn't lead for him so it's not a whiff" is just wild to me.
The mere fact that we didn't lead for him and a large portion of recruits since Pope has taken over is EXACTLY the problem here lol.
You can't lead for everyone. This one guy in of itself isn't the problem. But its the pattern of always finishing 2nd or 3rd or 4th that Pope has had here is.
Yep.
Lost in all the narratives is the fact that the UK staff clearly doesn't think their current pair of 4 men (N'Diaye/McBride) are capable of playing heavy minutes the SEC; otherwise, why would the staff have recruited over them?
Got to get Mitchell.
The SEC requires transfers to announce their intent prior to June, Mitchell did not. Not even remotely close to Aberdeens situation.
I think about that with every guy we miss, at least we probably annoyed someone at the other school and made them shell out, lol.
That's Popes secret weapon. He's getting to know every single college player so next year he already has the one up when it comes to game planning.
Better hope the SEC approves it since he wasn’t in the transfer portal by May 1st if not we won’t have Mitchell either!
