PROVO — Recruiting is tough, challenging and sometimes a little humiliating for grown men as they chase down and impress teenage recruits. Then there’s Kalani Sitake, who has to make sure the fit is just right — sometimes above everything else.

One year after his team won just four games, he’s spent significant time with both recruits and roster players to make sure they are capable of staying aligned with the mission of the university. And still win.

Sitake knows far more about the layers of this challenge today than he did three years ago or when he played in the late '90s in Provo.
