BYU's biggest breakthrough was keeping Snow College receiver Jonah Trinnaman, which required some "re-recruiting," by offensive coordinator Ty Detmer's account.
The staff's adventures included the time Sitake and Detmer missed their original flight to Hawaii. They spent an unscheduled night Los Angeles, arrived in Honolulu in the early afternoon, visited two families and caught a flight home that evening.
And then Sitake and Detmer couldn't even get through the staff's first signing-day news conference without a glitch. Detmer started detailing the attributes of a walk-on quarterback from Idaho, only to have Sitake whisper in his ear and then stop him, because the player is technically a recruitable athlete and NCAA rules forbid public endorsements.
