Great news. Next year should be Fifita though. We'll see after that.

Yeah, we gotta let Fifita play at some point. Dude got his boys to come here and he appears to be a damn solid QB in the little we have seen. Don't forget Dorman waiting too. Fisch is seemingly recruiting the skill positions at a notch or 2 above the whole D and OL. We have 3 legit highly ranked QBs with 1 on the way. We seem to have like 5 legit high end RBs and another 5 or 6 great WR options. Probably the most NFL options on an Arizona roster ever.

Wish I could say the same for the overall D and OL. Both are definitely better than under coach Oogly Eyes, but still remain the weakest parts of the team. Getting Rushing on D will help.

I do think having Dougherty, Cummings, and Scottie Graham on the offensive staff is helping our skill position recruiting immensely. All of those guys resonate with the kids they are recruiting and seem to pull in a ton of talent. Fisch is damn good himself. The entire staff seems to work their asses off in comparison to our last 2 staffs, especially Oogly Eyes, which was the most embarrassing staff since anything associated with Kevin Gilbride.

In his interview Demond Williams said he is going to help recruit for the class adding more studs and they could be guys that are already committed elsewhere. I see a teammate of his on that list on the tweet 84cat posted.

Someone on FB said it was due to NIL negotiations breaking down. Just wonder how deep of pockets the UA NIL program has.

Williams Jr has a NIL valuation of $63K. Elijah Rushing has a NIL valuation of $190K.

Couldn't find Wilhite's valuation.

For perspective. The Utah guys get to possess a leased vehicle. They don't get to keep them and the lease expires when they no longer play for Utah.

I really hate the word "commit". It's not a commit until the NLI is signed.

"Favorite at this moment in time" is more accurate, but a mouthful.

And Fisch has certainly flipped his share of recruits too but I seriously doubt he was such a big ass about it.

Was Fisch standing on the sidelines with the team trying to poach another team's "committed" recruit like Lupoi did? If so, yes, he is an ass.

Or was Fisch just in the stands? Then not an ass.

You can bet he was along with other coaches of Arizona's staff. As a coach you keep recruiting until they sign the LOI.

I get kind of sick of the pointless garbage posts about how sorry a commit is to decommit from such and such school, etc. Just decommit and stfu, or if you do decommit and just can't live without saying something, then be honest and say it's all about the Benjamin's baby.

Don't regurgitate the same old tired spiel about how sorry you are to have de committed because the school just isn't quite right for your "life goals". Give me a fucking break, so sick of seeing heartless pointless PR just because you got a better NIL deal. Your fucking life goals should be to make the NFL and get a fat contract. Sure that could be done at either school in about the same light. So go get your NIL, be happy, and stfu.
