On a side note it does look like we offered a guy who is currently a Virginia LB commit just last night, so maybe there's a connection there?

If he's worth it it's a strategic offer because he'll be more available for recruiting once Virginia cans their coach this season.

Who are they using for the 17th and 18th season data? Ted Hendricks? Ray Nitschke?

Have not Heard of anyone doing that. I know Weaver is set to decide on the 18th and we are in pretty good shape with him

If you're referring to this tweet, he is talking about the freshman class. It took me a minute, I thought "decommit" at first too.

Yes, and it doesn't look good for the UA's chances of landing either.

Lucas isnt much of a priority for UA. Staff doesn't like him as much as other kids. Would be shocked if Harry ended up at asu. Staff is still recruiting Harry but its a small chance. Murphy is talented but saguaro should tell you what you need to know about the recruitment

Seems awfully odd that Arizona is the only school to have offered Valentine & Garrett.

And I personally hope they stay away from Lealaimatafao.

Arizona offered 4-star WR Demetric Vance. He's committed to MSU already , so it will be interesting to see what the offer means.

They were the first to offer. I'm sure there will be more since they're both brand new to re-recruitment

Why isnt John listed on the official roster, is he not practicing with the team? Anyone know

He's probably redshirting during his year he has to sit out. Right?

Newportcat · Post by **Newportcat** » Tue Aug 11, 2015 6:54 am

He definitely has to sit out a year but I would think he still would be practicing with the team

Perusing the SC message board, I noticed that they mentioned Khalil Tate as a possible fit at RB for USC

Newportcat · Post by **Newportcat** » Sat Aug 22, 2015 10:30 am

From the sources I have heard he is very committed to Arizona as he really wants to be a QB. That being said, my source who is as good as they come regarding high school football in SoCal, said there is zero chance he will be a Pac-12 QB as doesnt have the mechanics or discipline. Said he is a great athlete but that Modster is a far better QB and should blow him away and force a position change. He thinks Modster is a steal for us and should have a great career at Arizona.

Just his opinion but I trust it.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Sat Aug 22, 2015 10:57 am

And Burmeister is better than Modster....if we can keep him

I agree. The caveat about him at SC is they could sell him in Towns spot now before switching him

and it's Serra. I don't think Tate would believe for a second that they would actually offer him at QB. I think he's smart enough to see they'd switch him by the third week of camp.

Not to mention Tate in no way shape or form fits USC's system at QB. At least at Arizona he'd have a shot due to system. Either way I'm surprised SC thinks he's a RB? He's got WR written all over him if QB fails from what I see.

MrBug708 · Post by **MrBug708** » Sat Aug 22, 2015 3:22 pm

It was mentioned that USC would want to take two QB's this year. The QB recruit last year, Greene, was the scout team QB last year and probably is a QB this year to mimic QB's like Anu in practice, but will likely make the switch to WR.

Modster is also a better QB prospect than Fink so maybe he thinks he could win that job easier

Win the scout team QB job? I'm missing the poison your spitting here.

Newport,

I don't think there is any question that Tate is going to stick with us because he knows that Rich Rod is very likely the only coach at a big school that will seriously give him a fair shake at the QB position.

But in my heart of hearts, I fully believe that RR knows deep down inside that eventually Tate will be moved to another position because he's just not very likely to beat out our current QB's nor our future plethora of stud QB's that RR will be bringing in on a consistent basis.

Sure do I think Tate could fill in at QB in spot duty in the future.......possibly.

He's really not a true QB, he's just so talented that he can make the position work for himself. But I suspect other more talented QB of the future will always have a leg up on him and the writing on the wall will eventually persuade him and RR to switch positions to get himself on the field.

His true future for college and the pro's lies at WR as he has all of the traits of a big, strong and fast C. Jones type threat but the hands being a great unknown at this point.

I think RR will give him two full years at the QB spot and if he isn't a solid QB on the two deep roster in a couple of years then a meeting of the minds and pro-ball next level desires will probably lead to a position change.

It will be exciting and interesting to see him grow as a big-time player because I suspect they won't be able to keep him off of the field as time moves on.

Beat out Fink long term

Newportcat · Post by **Newportcat** » Sat Aug 22, 2015 10:26 pm

By the way my source also said that U of A is killing it recruiting SoCal this year and local pundits have noticed it. We have chatted about this before and he has always felt that U of A should do as well recruiting SoCal as the Oregons, UW's, ASU's of the world. He thought stoops was stupid to focus on Texas.

He is also the one who told me that the one thing he hears from recruits in SoCal is that Arizona is hot and he always asks me why we don't have an indoor facility when ASU has one.

Again, in my opinion this source knows high school football and recruiting in SoCal as well as anyone not named Greg Biggins. He told me that Jacob colocion should also be a stud LB for us.

Browne will be a RS Jr his RS Fr year. Plus I imagine Darnold will be ahead on the depth chart, so wouldn't that mean two guys ahead of him on the depth chart at minimum once he's eligible to play? Also this is USC football we're talking about here. I don't care how drunk Sark is, he'll still be able to land highly rated QBs, so I refuse to be naive and think that he won't have any more high end competition than those two guys and Fink and I have no idea why you would choose to believe that he wouldn't either.
