On the surface it sure looks like cheerleading to me. While it would be AWESOME to add a great recruiter to the staff, I kind of hope that it is... Because if he can say that this guy truly is the best recruiter without having been able to do any since his time at UC - that doesn't say much for the rest of our current staff.

Whatever the case, sounds like he was a really good college DB, and we seem to have some talent in the secondary that has dramatically underperformed. Hopefully he can upgrade their performance and help them realize their potential.

Thank you for admitting this, but you suck at trolling. You try way too hard.

Oh it's not self titled it's actually coined. There aren't any trolls on this board. Everyone here was invited onto this board at one point so your theory is wrong there. For basically not posting very much at all, and off this board for a whole year, I would say I'm not trying at all.

A year in which our football team performed much better then expected.....Coincidence, I don't think so.

Definition: troll
One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument.

There could not be anymore accurate of a description of you Chief than the definition above.

Good lord, at times I feel like I'm living under a rock when it comes to UofA football.

Am I the only person on the site that has never even heard of the name Jahmile Addae. I have never, not once ever seen the name in written form or even mentioned in passing as being apart of the staff. And now this guy is our DB coach and he is somehow annoyted as the best recruiter on the staff.

Are people actually trying to run this mindless shallow meme as serious.

For crying out-loud, I've seen desperate fans and insiders grasping at goofy ass straws before to rationalize something, but this announcement has got yo be equal to raving mad football groupies grasping at planets and solar systems.

Some guy working in some internal staff capacity that no one has ever heard of is now been promoted over longtime coach Lockwood as our new DB coach and he's apparently is the best recruiter we have on staff.

OK.....................................sure. Now I've heard the whopper of all time whoppers. People will believe any ******** thing their told.

So we've had this special unknown person working in the belly of Arizona Stadium for I guess about three years now doing what I don't know and lo and behold he really was a DB coach in waiting and better than Lockwood, and the additional kicker is, this unknown person is also the best recruiter, but we just kept him under wraps for the hell of it.

I'm seriously suppose to believe this nonsense.

But of course you are a troll for pointing out what should be clear as day. I'm sure I'll be added to some mysterious troll list as well for daring to voice my trollish opinion.

And the new guy no one has heard of is in charge of So. Cal.

OK! This should be fun to watch.

Looking at his bio on the UA AD page he was the film guy. And being the film guy not allowed to recruit.

But sometimes a blind squirrel can find a nut. Wasn't Charlie Ragle the film guy before RichRod made him the special teams coordinator and tight ends coach. Skowron and Riggleman were walk ons and now are some of the best special teams players we have had in recent history. Last season Skowron didn't miss a single PAT.

You are aware saying the he is the best recruiter on our staff now is like saying I am the tallest person at a dwarf gathering. Its not really that hard to believe due to the fact that the rest of our staff is awful recruiters. Hell, two of our defensive coaches apparently don't even leave Tucson to recruit. I don't see anyone saying he is a better coach then Lockwood, but lets be honest it would be hard to be any worse. If you are going to run out there shitty coaches with a shitty scheme, and poorly prepared players you should at least have the guys who have the best shot of landing talent.

Gronk, did you actually write what you just wrote with a straight face?

Your justification for the shit we have seen in recruiting is based on what you wrote above. Are you serious?

OMG, I don't know how to response to what you wrote. There is literally zero logic, meaning, commonsense or rational context in your thesis.

Hire a film guy with no experience in the hopes that he may be better than the substandard recruiter's we already have on staff or who don't have to travel and recruit?

OMG, let me crawl back under my rock. Sorry Your rebuttal is beyond lowering the bar of rationality.

OMG! OMG! As many have said in the past, Dudek is the best recruiter in our program but he is not on the staff. Explain that logic, it's really not hard to understand. Going out on the recruiting trail alone is already a step up from several of our current staff. How much do you think recruiting involves? For the most part it is just being the best used car salesman and being someone the kid's can relate to. Coaching on the other hand....

Would that be a step up? I think he is co coordinator or is he just the QB coach? Did he accept the offer?

Ha. No, he's primed for a top 10 defense and a national championship.

But over the last four years, it's been getting progressively better, as you can see above. As Rich Rodriguez continues to bring in guys fit for his system -- and continues to bring in higher ranked guys -- this program will continue elevating towards greater success. Player development isn't going to happen overnight, or maybe even from year one to two, or year two to three. But when you dream about the possibility of Arizona running the 4-3 or 3-4, there aren't a whole lot of options to fill in, and 3-3-5 or not, Rich Rodriguez is still going to recruit the defensive linemen or linebackers he needs.

Because in all honesty, the defense doesn't have the complete personel to run any specific defense, and that's where the rise in recruiting will take over.But right now, this is Arizona Football. This program has never been to four-straight bowl games, and in four years, Rich Rodriguez already has a third of Arizona's bowl wins in program history. The 3-3-5 is here to stay with Jeff Casteel, and good things are on their way for this defense.

Maybe I missed an area of concern, maybe I reached a little too far in one area, but I'm just trying to lay everything out on the table when it comes to the 3-3-5. I see the arguments on both sides, but for right now, I fully believe in the 3-3-5 and Jeff Casteel. Also because I know that Casteel's services extended well beyond into recruiting.

Defensive recruiting too. Steady, Steady, steady...

If any of you were making $700k a year to take care of your family, would you volunteer to give that away? I wouldn't. Just base it on performance.
