So Ghost is Chef?

I’m slow on the uptake….

The man, the myth, the legend in his own mind. Yes, we’ve been graced with his presence once again to convince us that local Tucson media are the Devil’s minions.

No. Ghost is Ghost. You guys are all obsessed.

A long snapper from Ohio. Blazing those trails.

Yeah haha who needs a long snapper? Just throw a random person into the position right?

Weird flex. You don’t waste a scholarship on a long snapper. You get them to walk on.

Not to mention the fact that he is a GIANT PUSSY who doesn't have the guts to post under his own handle.

The guy needs psychiatric help.

I wasn't sure if you were an idiot or not so I didn't comment but your last post has removed all doubt ghost.

Personally I like the adventure of a walk-on long snapper or converting a backup fullback to do the job. Is the snap getting to the holder? Is it going to dribble all over the place or fly over everyone’s head? Surprise me!!!

Yeah last year was way too boring when our scholarship long snapper snapped every ball perfectly.

He was a walk on and later was rewarded a scholarship. That’s exactly how it is done. You don’t take a LS in the portal. Show me any other P4 program doing that? Are there any?

Regardless of how you feel, LS is an important position. It can be the difference between winning and losing a game.

With personnel leaving, you don’t waste a scholarship on a transfer portal long snapper. You recruit one and have him walk on and if he performs well, you give him a scholarship. Arizona has not ever taken a scholarship long snapper from another program. This is a first. It’s ok to be skeptical. It’s called critical thinking.

[Fishclamps]

IF he performs well??? Lol cmon man we need someone who can do the job. We're not holding tryouts here.

We need someone to perform now, not in 2 years.

There are a lot more important positions to worry about. DL being the most.

[Fishclamps]

Ok, and we still have 14 scholarships to give out, so whats your point?

[azcat49]

So once again Chief/ghost you are bashing the staff. Special teams are critical and yet you keep pounding on the negative narrative.

I remember the days of Alex Zendejas and lost games due to special teams. I remember the loss of field position under RichRod. The staff just got here in January and capable P5 snappers out of HS are probably long gone. I like the idea of having a proven one right now. Let’s see who we miss on before we call this move a poor one

Tyler Schmidt, Cactus High school, full ride to San Diego State as a long snapper. drafted 6th rd in 2008 but suffered a career ending injury his rookie season. Nick Nunberg, North Canyon High School and played at University of California Berkeley on a full ride scholie
. He was an undrafted free agent after college and has had a long career in the nfl.

The point is to shit on Arizona every chance he gets.

[Ghost]

I actually like this staff. I didn’t like Jedd and his staff. We shall see what damage comes today. Buckle up.

Happy transfer portal day to all who celebrate.

The portal is sort of like the Tooth Fairy.

Only in our case the fairy is pulling our teeth out with a pair of rusty pliers.

[cerec_cat]

Is Braxton Burnmeister in the portal?

I don't see him listed here: https://247sports.com/season/2024-footb ... nkey=24087

I believe that was a joke since Burmeister already exhausted his what seemed like 7 years of eligibility.

[84Cat]

Sorry, I don't keep up with fb like I do bb. I'll go in the corner and stay in my lane

[dmjcat]

[Fishclamps]

[Fishclamps]

Ugh, but at least one of them is actually at practice I guess

[Fishclamps]

looks like they were at least at practice, just not practicing?

[wyo-cat]

Joe Borjon in….

[wyo-cat]

DJ Wardell is in…

[FreeSpiritCat]

DJ Wardell is in…

It doesn't mean he will transfer. I wish him luck. I don't see him receiving meaningful playing time.

[Chicat]

How we looking? Is the anticipated bloodbath still coming?

[Fishclamps]

It's weird, you would think if it was gonna happen it would have been day 1, like most other schools.

Who knows, maybe its still coming.

[FreeSpiritCat]

There are rumors that the Cats are going to lose some starters. I can’t tell you any more.

Well that sounds ominous

Yea, not what you want to hear - depth pieces I could understand and while it would suck; not as impactful as losing starters.

[Irish27]

I am not going to get upset when we see players leave because it's happening at all the schools. We will lose some players every year in most of the programs, but we will get transfer players to fill up the roster.

[azcat49]

I hate when I see this thread pop up. Next two weeks will be hell

4* RB from Oregon St

[Fishclamps]

Is there any specific reason why they're waiting to go into the portal? Doesn't really seem like there's any point in waiting once it opens up.

[FreeSpiritCat]

All of us know Tecario Davis could transfer since he has been in the portal for months. This Wildcats video mentions another player we could lose.

The longer they wait, the more the NIL numbers at the school that is courting them go up. This is a business now. Supply and demand. Capitalism at its finest. This is what they wanted.

But there are a finite number of slots available and they’re not the only guys at their position looking for a new school and a payday. How does staying out of the portal until late make them more money? You don’t get a new job making more money by not applying.

My uneducated guess is that if players are on the fence but may leave if the money is right... they may want to stay out of the portal... while their "people" are doing some work/investigating through some behind the scene channels... Just a thought
