Dick Harmon: Big buzz is the flock of football recruits migrating to Provo

Brigham Young Cougars head coach Kalani Sitake waves to fans upon arrival at the stadium prior to the Brigham Young Cougars and Michigan State Spartans game in East Lansing, MI on Saturday, Oct. 8, 2016.

PROVO — BYU’s triple T — The Transfer Trend — is real.

BYU Football Media Day took center stage Friday and festivities included some hard news stories like retiring numbers, ESPN’s contract, bowl games and a LaVell Edwards jersey patch. But perhaps the biggest actual football news overshadowing Kalani Sitake’s program is in the recruiting realm.

Be it through the coconut wireless, chats among friends, cousins telling cousins or whatever, Sitake is fielding so many requests from signees at other colleges inquiring about transferring to BYU that his staff has had to redesign their scholarship board.
