Now, it might be the top of the line facilities, the weather, campus, or the talk of the rising program, but the coaching staff is what all the recruits are talking about. Here are just a few quotes from guys I've talked to over the past few months.

"Coach Ragle is the most encouraging coach I have ever met, and Coach Dudek is my guy. Dudek is so funny and really goes out of his way to make me feel welcomed and wanted." - Michael Eletise, offensive guard, 2016

"They're a great program with a great staff, and after meeting the entire staff a main thing that stuck out to me is how close they are. They aren't a coaching staff, they called themselves a family and the comfortability I felt when I was around them was great." - London Iakopo, safety, 2016

"I picked Arizona because the coaches really show love there." - Orlando Bradford, running back commit, 2015

"It's the best. I felt at home when I stepped on the field and I love Coach Casteel." - Calvin Tubbs, linebacker, 2016

"The way the coaching staff stayed on me, talking to me. I just had a great connection with them. I hit it off with them from the get-go."- Jabari Watson, defensive tackle commit, 2016

College football recruiting services apply the “athlete” label to high school players who could potentially play multiple positions at the next level. For prospects who project as wide receivers or running backs, the tag is representative of their versatility. For others, the term athlete is considered pejorative. Perhaps a player hasn’t demonstrated the capability to play one position in particular, even if he is highly regarded for his impressive physical tools.

To Khalil Tate’s chagrin, he is classified as an athlete by two of the four major recruiting services, including Rivals.com, which ranks him 23rd at the position in the class of 2016. The 5’11”, 208-pound Tate has long tried to show talent evaluators that he is, in fact, not an athlete, and that he possesses the necessary skills and temperament to play quarterback at a Power Five conference school. Though he has succeeded to some degree, Tate is still fighting an uphill battle.

One program that believes in Tate’s ability to play quarterback is Arizona. Tate issued a verbal commitment to the Wildcats in March after receiving an offer the previous month. His decision made sense given Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez’s up-tempo offense and history of deploying dual-threat signal-callers—from Pat White at West Virginia to Denard Robinson at Michigan to, most recently, Anu Solomon at Arizona—to great effect.

Tate also picked Arizona because of the campus culture. “I knew I wanted to pick my college based on how I would feel if I didn’t play football,” he says. “So how I would feel if I was just a regular student or if I got hurt

Not sure, but I thought Tate at some point changed his Twitter profile page. Thought it used to say AZ commit (not 100% on this). Now it doesn't.

Tate has always said he was going to take his official visits. I assume he is still shopping for best QB situation he can get at top school. Long way from now until signing day.

he's got family in Arizona and i think that's helping us but I swear if he ends up at assholeU I'm gonna lose it.

We have 2 big line guys coming in on the 18th from Arkansas and they both have offers from the hogs. I think one guy in a defensive tackle and the other a OLine guard

Since RichRod & Staff lightly recruit Florida (seems like one or two Florida signees per class) we'd do well to stay on Miami's recruits/commits. Al Folden will be shown the doors by November and why not hang in the back ground for the pickings.

Question...................

Where do you think that we would be recruiting wise if McKenzie and Tabor would've ended up here?
