Texas Recruiting

[cordera89]

Should RR and the Staff recruit in the state of Texas?

[BearDown89]

Yes they should. Question is why doesn't the current staff develop recruiting connections there? Seems a fertile ground and regionally it certainly makes sense.

Because RR and staff has no ties to the state texas.

Yates was co-DC at Texas A&M in 2012 and 2013. He recruited Texas during that stint. http://247sports.com/Coach/Marcel-Yates ... meRecruits" target="_blank There are 7 Texas commits on that list. Don't know anything about those Texas high schools, but it's a start. I don't suppose there are any leftover Texas connections from the Stoops era to be re-kindled.

They've been able to build a bit of a Louisiana pipeline. With Yates' help they might have some success expanding into Texas.

I forget about he was the Co. DC at Texas A&M.

Marcel's real connection is LA where he grew up. He and Donte were brought in to mine California.

I wonder if he yates can put that into work in the 2018 and 2019 recruiting cycle.

Yeah that true but their just one freaky problem. How many recruiting classes do we need to get back on track.

[azgreg]

Hate to say it but we are going to need a good JC class.

RR has been able to bring in several decent JC but a lot them weren't really impact players.

If he wants to coach at AZ in 2018 that will need to change.

I disagree with that statement. He be the coach in 17 and 18 season if Byrnes doesn't come out with unrealistic expectation for the football program after a 3-9 season. Either next season we finish with yet another good Recruiting Class but fall too 5-7 or 6-6, Everyone else is already predicting that it going to follow like Mike Stoop final year. Byrnes has to understand that Arizona isn't a program that can just turnaround a bad season to good season at ease. 18 season is where it going to end with RR.

Arizona doesn't have enough in state talent that we have an excuse for not trying to recruit any state. There are schools (Floridas, TX, CA and LA) that can survive on local talent. Arizona is not that program. We need tentacles everywhere to offset the in state disadvantages.

[chiefzona]

Hell no to Texas. Arizona can't even recruit Arizona or California successfully now.

Chief the majority of our player are from the state of California. Arizona primary recruiting ground is the state of California. Where in it history that Arizona has Recruiting very, very, very, very, very elite well in the state of Arizona and California. Did stoop had good run of recruiting texas kids to Arizona?
