Separates the good teams from the bad when someone goes down and there is no drop off with the next in line.
The point is the quantity of this class will not prevent them from adding quality for the first time since....ever, thanks to the elimination of the 25 man class limit. They're basically trying to replace the Sumlin level guys who have already left/been forced out with either guys who are ready to contribute ASAP or guys that they like that they intend to develop. They don't have many developmental guys on the roster at the moment.

But aren't we already at the 85 limit with less than a dozen seniors? Sounds like some guys will need to be chased out to me, but maybe I am wrong and we are closer to 75 at the moment.

Nice, I like his size. According to 247, FSU, Miami, Oregon and Arkansas offered him.

Nice - welcome Elijah! A wide range of competing offers from Arizona State, Arkansas, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami, Nevada, Oregon, Oregon State, UNLV, and Utah State. Rated Nevada's 6th best prospect.

Man these coaches just keep grinding. He was selling AZ and our NIL program the other day and putting that bug in the parents ear that we are not a long way away to see their kids play

Do you have a problem with 250 lb nose guards?

I was watching a 2016 game against Nevada and our down lineman looked so small back then. We did look great on offense though

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Tue Aug 02, 2022 12:45 pm

I think the nose guard on my son's Pop Warner team in 8th grade was close to 250.

One thing that I've noticed: Most of the highest rated commits played a decent amount against SDSU. Tetairoa, Sterling Lane, Speedy Luke etc.

I root for all of our Wildcat commits equally, but here is my question: How does the makeup of this class look compared to last years? I absolutely believe in star rankings and offer lists. Some of the guys committed feel a little G5ish to me.

Additionally, are there any 4/5 star types in the crosshairs for this staff?

Over on Scheer's site someone mentioned there's 3 silent commits. Two 4 stars and 1 high 3 star.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Mon Sep 05, 2022 3:15 pm

Mostly all three stars that are high 3 star guys with multiple P5 offers. One 4 star guy which is the QB. Supposedly 3 silent commits and many think the best recruits will be on the O Line. Have heard people say it will be a top 30 class and top 20 if we bowl

Love to hear it!!!

I would expect this recruiting class to be not as good as last years, which is understandable, but much better than the classes we were accustomed to seeing the last decade prior. If we have a good season I have a heard time not believing in this staff to capitalize on that and add some late big names. The three biggest names we are going hard after (all 4 stars) and in a good place with are Caleb Lomu (OL), Leviticus Su’a (LB) and Iapani Laloulu (OL)

I remember Winger over at TOS doing an analysis that since there are so few 5 and 4 stars that what is really important for a school like Arizona is to make sure the 3 stars are at the top of the 3 star rankings. Good to hear 49.

This staff puts in more work in recruiting in a week than RRod did in an entire year

I'm sure our class this year won't match last year's but I'm eondering what highly rated recruits or studs we might be after, especially defensively. We are in need of another under the radar LB star like Scooby.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Thu Oct 20, 2022 11:11 am

Big time Mike LB Su’a from Mater Dei (4star) is deciding between Stanford and us with Fisch handling his recruitment personally.

Not sure of anyone else they are looking at but you have to think from here on out in the 23 class they would all be on defense or Offensive lineman

Carcassdragger · Post by **Carcassdragger** » Thu Oct 20, 2022 8:03 pm

Thanks 49. Exactly what I was looking for.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Tue Oct 25, 2022 8:11 am

With his brother already at Oregon, the minute he got that offer he was going to commit.

He never committed to us but no doubt we wanted him. Lomu is our #1 target on that Line
