Sorry yeah. I was just chatting with a buddy from UW. Eletise has made everyone feel like he is theirs.FightWildcatsFight wrote:You mean Eletise right?Scummy Dick Douglas wrote:UW insiders are sure he is theirs.

I'd gather it means there are elite level prospects in our own back yard playing for a program we have a very good relationship with. Obviously these guys need to be vetted to the highest extent possible (especially the 2 DTs), but if you can get this talent you don't say no if everything is a go with these guys personality wise.UALoco wrote:With these new offers, does it mean we don't feel good about some of our current targets committing?
His name didn't appear in regards to receiving an offer, but it does seem as if he will be visiting Arizona. I assume some MAJOR vetting would take place before an offer was ever given to him. In regards to Valentine it looks like the academic problems were self-inflicted in the sense that he would skip classes regularly and according to LSU fans when he did attend he was high. Garrett is a must get though as I haven't seen any red flags associated with him. Valentine just needs to get his head on straight. The other guy we'll have to see.Sage&Silver wrote:I was wondering if RR would be after any of the three LSU players who transferred to Arizona Western.
Clifton Garrett and Travonte Valentine appear to have had academic problems. Garrett was the top rated MLB in 2014, Valentine was a top-10ish DT from the same class.
Keep an eye on if DT Lealaimatafao is pursued. Knocked out a man and woman and ran off with their wallets, that was like the third arrest of his freshman year. His name didn't appear in the above tweet though.
The other two don't have that kind of baggage, they just need to get it together in the classroom.
Can you see RR recruiting someone with the kind of baggage Lealaimatafao has? I know he is all for second chances and all but that's a pretty serious charge.ChooChooCat wrote:His name didn't appear in regards to receiving an offer, but it does seem as if he will be visiting Arizona.

This. All of these guys left LSU and have been recruits again for two months. Staff probably just wanted to get them on campus and do it in person. There elite guys no reason we shouldnt offerChooChooCat wrote:I'd gather it means there are elite level prospects in our own back yard playing for a program we have a very good relationship with.

To be fair, as I recall it was outside a bar, so this presumably was a drunk fight and not an attempt to rob. And the woman was the other man's date. It wasn't clear if she was intentionally hit or just caught an elbow trying to break it up.FightWildcatsFight wrote:Can you see RR recruiting someone with the kind of baggage Lealaimatafao has?

First of all Gesunheidt, that was a nasty sneeze you had there, and second of all like I said some very serious vetting needs to be done. The one no brainer here is the LB. The other two definitely need research done on them.FightWildcatsFight wrote:Can you see RR recruiting someone with the kind of baggage Lealaimatafao has?

Scratch my previous prediction, its really between UA and ASU. The timing of his decision date coming right after a UW visit made me think he was a sure fire UW lean, but I am hearing he essentially ruled them out after that visit.catinfl wrote:Matty D has been trying really hard in this one.

Sometimes when kids go away to college the parents want them to be close to family in case of injury or "other" issues that may come up in life.

In fact, the latest buzz we’ve heard in the last 24 hours is Eletise will likely decide between UA and Washington and it sounds like the Cats may have the edge right now. Here’s the latest on Scout Now.
Ok guys, that's my cue to start drinking heavily for either massive disappointment or extreme joy.azgreg wrote:
