Inside Darnell's Head: Down the home stretch with BYU football recruiting

This is what's happening inside Darnell's head. Anyone out there prepared for the Super Bowl? Anyone eager to hold up two weeks?

Moan.

Christmas for school football fan-young men

We are under 10 days from marking day (Feb. 1) and BYU got several football duties on Saturday, the greatest of which is Langi Tuifua from Bingham. He's ordinary of what Kalani Sitake and his drilling staff are searching for: A rangy, hazardous competitor (6-foot-4, 215 pounds) they can mentor up into a linebacker or cautious end.

With the past honing staff, the greater part of the enrolling class would have been close by at this point. With Sitake and his team, there are some enormous fish still out there – Jay Fufele, Chaz Ah You, Oliver Martin among them – who could make a major sprinkle on marking day.

I like this approach. Better believe it, you may not get everybody you need, but rather I don't think you can be hesitant to attempt to reel in the four-or five-star folks.

Will it be a decent class? I suspect as much, verging on fabulous with maybe a couple increases. BYU has been dynamic acquiring exchanges also.

What might I change about school football selecting?

I like including another marking day in the fall. I likewise would consent to disposing of the "non-committable offers" thought. You offer a grant to a child, it ought to be genuine.

I additionally might want to see the demise of the marking party "cap service," however I realize that will never happen.

Likewise, for those secondary school competitors who get a kick out of the chance to Tweet out messages when they get an offer: It's not "I got another offer from School X" but rather "I got my Xth offer, this one from School X." Schools just offer one grant for every player, get it?

Spiking it

It was a decent end of the week for the No. 3 BYU men's volleyball group, which beat No. 14 Northridge twice by 3-1 scores in California. Junior outside hitter Ben Patch at present leads the nation in slaughters per set with 5.58, the main player in school volleyball averaging superior to five. Accept the open door to come watch the Cougars in real life on Friday or potentially Saturday against UC Irvine. Fix and his partners are justified regardless of the cost of confirmation.

Captivated

Previous CNN stay Soledad O'Brien tailed me on Twitter a day or two ago. Do you believe she's a BYU fan?

Force

One play from BYU's win against Pacific on Saturday emerged: Freshman T.J. Haws thumped the ball free with a decent safeguard play and dove to the ground to tip it to a colleague. Steven Beo cruised in for a layup and a 21-17 lead. The camera shot slice back to Haws, who applauded and had a merry look of seething power all over.

That sort of cautious exertion will go far.

Wouldn't you know it?

Subsequent to making 12-of-27 3-pointers in a miracle of BYU a week ago, San Diego shots only 1-for-17 from separation in a misfortune to San Francisco on Saturday. I just call attention to out on the grounds that, well, patterns.

Utah Valley set a school record with 18 3-pointers in a stunning win at BYU prior this season. At this moment, the Wolverines are shooting 32 percent from past the curve and are only 9-10 generally speaking after Saturday's 68-65 misfortune to Cal State-Bakersfield, a group BYU beat by 10 focuses.

Both UVU and San Diego played their best session of the season against the Cougars, no question. What amount of that was a group simply having a stunning day and what amount of it was BYU's guarded weaknesses?

The simple answer is a "tad bit of both" yet it just demonstrates that BYU needs to bring its "A" diversion protectively consistently or the threat is permitting a greatest day-ever minute for another group.

It's additionally critical to note that characterizing a group is a moving target. One day the Cougars may be magnificent, the following they could battle. What you seek after is an upward pattern. With a youthful group like BYU, there are generally crests and valleys amid the season.

With eight wins the previous 10 recreations, a bigger number of crests than valleys, isn't that so?

So close

Since Kyle Collinsworth left BYU for an ace profession the "triple-twofold" watch is not by any means a thing any longer at Cougar b-ball games. You know, fans viewing the video board at the Marriott Center to monitor Collinsworth's numbers.

In any case, at present there are two BYU ladies' ball players who have been playing with getting a triple-twofold. A year ago, Kalani Purcell had 16 focuses, 24 bounce back and eight helps against Pepperdine amid the consistent season and 19 focuses, 11 bounce back and eight helps against the Waves in the WCC quarterfinals. This year, Purcell is averaging 12.3 focuses, 10.0 bounce back and 4.9 helps for each diversion. She had 18 focuses, 12 bounce back and nine helps against Saint Mary's and on Saturday logged 10 focuses, eight bounce back and 10 helps against Pacific.

Cassie Broadhead – the WCC's driving scorer at 18.4 focuses per diversion – had 14 focuses, nine bounce back and seven helps against Pepperdine this season.

Both play a considerable measure of minutes, with Broadhead averaging 38 for every diversion and Purcell right around 36. So I truly trust one of them will get a triple-twofold this season.

A word of wisdom

At long last, I saw this on Facebook from Donald Meyers, a previous Daily Herald columnist now working in the condition of Washington: "Make inquiries until you're less inept." #overheardinthenewsroom

Man, do I have a great deal of work to do.
