Re: Where is Damuni in all of this?
I don't think they went after the Van Leeuwan boys. They might've made a late push for Dax. Let's not forget about Legas, whose dad played there or Jakob Robinson. Mata Hola comes to mind as well. USU gets players that BYU-Provo wants. I'm not sure hard we went after the younger Damuni. I get it though, I'd like Cache Valley kids to stay home whenever possible. We got Riley Burt back for his last year and that was underwhelming.aggies22 wrote: ↑December 31st, 2020, 2:01 pmDax Raymond and the Van Leeuwen boys.2004AG wrote: ↑December 31st, 2020, 1:32 pmRelax.

But seriously: where is he? Is he stepping up to bridge the tension?

It just seems like we're the only school where kids want to leave the shadow of their parents. Just once I'd like a "byu kid" to do it. byu recruits and kids of byu fans seem to be more loyal than Aggie fans, which is probably why they have a much higher winning program than we do. I live in Utah county and have a connections to high school recruiting in Utah county and every last kid down here has blinders on to everything and everybody but byu. Its discouraging when we can't even keep kids that have been connected to the program their entire lives committed. Byu certainly doesn't have that problem. If one of my 4 boys is good enough to play college football, byu would not even be allowed in my house. I'd have to listen to Stanford though.

Re: Where is Damuni in all of this?
Great points my Aggie brother. We were not recruiting Jovesa Damuni very aggressively.mickfinn wrote: ↑January 2nd, 2021, 4:45 pmI don't think they went after the Van Leeuwan boys.

Of course it’s speculation. I as a fan want to know how the solution is working- and Damuni can be part of the solution.
The only person to blame for speculation are the people that leak just enough information for there to be speculation but not enough for people to do anything but speculate.
The primary reason I am suspicious is because is someone that is upper level enough to be in the room. There is a 0% chance that Alex wheat obtained that video on his own. That makes him, others in the ad and coaches- up to and including Gary down to and including GAs suspects.
If the ad knows who it is- great! But until there is accountability and transparency, it’s their own fault.
Someone somewhere is obviously not who people thought they were. Maybe it’s cockett, maybe she’s a klan wizard who hates Mormons and Polynesians. Maybe it’s Hartwell. That’s the problem with vague statements that lack of specifics: it’s only purpose is speculation. If you don’t like it- you should demand more accountability and transparency.
But no one is allowed to question anyone because someone knows cockett, someone knows Maile and knows they’d “neeeeeever” do anything like it. Someone did something. And just assuming people are innocent is just as wrong as assuming they’re guilty.

To respond to your ad hominem:
My initial questions (1. Could he have been involved and 2. Where does he stand) were largely answered by two other posters on this board whom I respect.
When there is obviously a bad actor it's perfectly reasonable to be suspicious of anyone. That bad actor could either be Cockett, a coach, or someone in the AD.... those are the people that are either accused of being a bigot (Cockett) or have the means and motive to film and publish embarrassing information about Hartwell- and have the ability to influence the team to not play.
So I asked the question. I received as good of an answer as I'm going to get. Then I moved on. But there is nothing wrong with asking.
********
This is why Utahns are so prone to get taken advantage of in affinity fraud. Utahns aren't nearly suspicious enough. I remember being in the library and people would leave thousands of dollars of property completely unattended.
It's actually really dangerous. The attitude of "I know X and because my experience with X is different he must be innocent" is how rape culture exists. It's how insider threats attempt to breach national security, etc.
You should be more suspicious.
