Their last running back, Tre Watson out of Cal, had 3700 yards rushing his senior year. He averaged just about 250 yards a game and scored 50 rushing TD's that year.catinfl wrote:It really is.

In Tucson – With Rich Rodriguez staying in Tucson after being pursued by a few schools, the Wildcats will bring a number of recruits in this weekend, key being the visit of their top commit, Michael Eletise, the West's top offensive guard from Honolulu (Hawaii) Kaiser. Corona (Calif.) Centennial running back J.J. Taylor has been dazzling all season and he has the week off before the Huskies play De La Salle in the CIF State Open Division title so he'll visit his future school this weekend as well. Utah commit Kahi Neves will be visiting Arizona this weekend too, the Wildcats still trying to flip him and Lorenzo Burns from Temecula (Calif.) Linfield is another uncommitted target visiting.

Re: 2016 Recruit/Commitment Thread
Shun was a disappointment but still a true freshmen so let's see how he performs next year. Haden is too small and Johnson has great speed but was injured
Wish we would recruit some size at WR. After next year we will have a bunch of midgets out there

Re: 2016 Recruit/Commitment Thread
After the 2016 season, we will not have a single scholarship WR on the roster over 6' other than potential true freshman we sign next year. You would think that would be a point of emphasis for the coaches this recruiting class. How big was Nkael Harry again? I heard his girlfriend goes to UofA.

Re: 2016 Recruit/Commitment Thread
Well yes and no, and either way silly. Any recruits this year wouldn't be true freshman after the 2016 year, so I'm not sure why there is an issue.

now just FYI:
Mendivil, Abraham (RSo) 6'-1" WR
Mohamed, Mo (Fr) 6'-0" WR
O'Georgia, Bryant (So) 6'-0" WR
Those just an inch from the promise land of 6'.

Re: 2016 Recruit/Commitment Thread
Those guys over six feet are all walk ons. Sorry but Bryant ogeorgia (really that's his name) ain't never going to be a world beater for us.
Good lord the lengths to what posters will go to defend rich rods recruiting
Look at Caleb jones or Dave Richards. Both guys made catches at times simply due to their size. Criner was another guy who would catch balls due to his size and skill as well as Austin hill when healthy
Guys like Nate Phillips are great when combined with tall recievers. A team full of nate's no Bueno.
Just shocked this recruiting class does not have a tall WR in it

Re: 2016 Recruit/Commitment Thread
Which of those three you listed is a scholarship WR? And we are in on a total of ZERO WR recruits in this class over 6', hence they would have to be in next recruiting class. The only WR I am aware of that we are still in on is Stovall, who is 5'8", but yes I agree it is silly.OSUCat wrote:Well yes and no, and either way silly.

Re: 2016 Recruit/Commitment Thread
I think you guys that are skeptical forget that RR stated last year that he had signed the best group of walk-on's in the country. I assume his pre-occupation with them stems from the fact that he was one as a player.gronk4heisman wrote:Which of those three you listed is a scholarship WR?

As for the magic 6' threshold... I would not consider that tall - especially since most are listed as taller than they really are; a "tall" WR is at least a legit 6'2", and probably 6'3"+. If we cannot outrun DB's (we cannot), and we cannot get up and grab balls over them (which has happened a lot with out tall WR's the last few years), then how effective will our passing game be?
The point on TE's is potentially valid, but we need to use the ones we have first.
Re: 2016 Recruit/Commitment Thread
There is one WR Arizona is working on that is bigger than 6'.
I just don't think this offense needs height at the WR. It is a bonus, but it has nothing to do with holding back the offense by any means. The biggest issue with this offense has been the offensive line (which looks from the past recruiting that it might be getting pretty good) and a healthy starting RB (With/without Wilson playing is light and day).
There are legit gripes about RR recruiting, I just don't think WR Height is one of them.

Re: 2016 Recruit/Commitment Thread
Like Harvey said, height isn't an issue if the smaller WRs can outrun the DBs, but they can't. I know Johnson has been hurt, but I thought him and Grant were suppose to be the fastest players on the team?
Believe 6'3" Cayleb Jones is the leading receiver on the team with 51 receptions. 6'4" Richards has 41. 5'7" Phillips also has 41. 5'9" Grant has 30.

Re: 2016 Recruit/Commitment Thread
Neves started playing LB his junior year. Has a great frame for it and Arizona has been in his ear for a long time about it, but he was being sold on being a QB at Utah. (Knows Scooby somehow, so that may have helped), The staff sold him on being a LB and he committed. Big news as he is a very good prospect at LB and he has the Spring camp to learn.
Jamie Nunley will be enrolling in the spring and that is a 6'5 receiver. I think RR would like to have big receivers, but it just hasn't worked out. Oregon only has one WR that starts that is over 6'0 so it's not like it's gonna make or break anything. Desmond Fitzpatrick is 6'2 and we are recruiting him at the moment.

No, sorry. ESPN says Johnny Jackson is a DB.
But I stand corrected. I was looking at the WR tab and JJ wasn't listed there.

Re: 2016 Recruit/Commitment Thread
All of the LB recruits we have coming in and the ones were currently recruiting are all virtually 100% certain RS candidates.
I don't see any of these HS guys coming in and solidifying our much talked about LB woes from this year transitioning to next year. They may be great kids down the road after a RS and a couple of years in the system, but we're looking at the same depth and player talent deficiencies next year at LB as we had this year.
And outside of our horrible OOC schedule that we must play to capture a winning season and with our conference schedule being as brutal as can be expected I can see a year that is almost a carbon copy of this year.
We are still in the grip of the substandard talent and the lack of depth boogeyman and no amount of walk-ons is going to fix it.

Re: 2016 Recruit/Commitment Thread
Well, yes and no. Arizona has had like 5 or 6 injuries throughout the whole season on the three LB positions.
While i expect Wright to be gone, I can't see a repeat of the injuries that Arizona went though. Derrick Turituri, Cody Ippolito, Jake Mathews, and Miller would be a better group than what we saw at points this year. Paul Magloire Jr. moved to the position at the end of the year, which helped a bit, but could move back to safety. Arizona also has John Kenny (Iowa transfer) that had to RS this year. I also think I remember some reports of how well Kendal Franklin was playing in camp, but I have no idea if that is accurate.
It would be hard for the LB core to be even par with how they played at times this year. To me its about the CB's and if they can cover anyone for more than a few feet.

Re: 2016 Recruit/Commitment Thread
Negatives??? Sorry but I think that Carolinacat is focusing on reality, which is quite refreshing. If posters can't handle a realistic discussion of a teams strengths and weaknesses then they probably shouldn't be posting on public message boards.Harvey Specter wrote:Why do you have to focus on the negatives so much?carolinacat wrote:Our defensive linemen don't get much push, our LB's are mediocre at best and our DB's are slow and can't cover. Lovely. But everyone screams about our scheme being the problem.
Sheesh...
Reality is that we lose our best DL (Gilbert), our best DB/Safety (Parks) and probably our best LB (Wright). Couple that with the fact that our redshirt freshman class isn't exactly filled with studs and it doesn't appear to me that next years defense is going to be much different than it was this year.

I should have included a to make sure the sarcasm was more obvious.
I agree... I don't see how our defense is much difference next season than it was this past one.

Re: 2016 Recruit/Commitment Thread
Do all the other schools that WERE interested (USC, ALABAMA, ?) have tougher admission requirements for football players than UA and WAZZU. Are you saying when all was said and done academically all Allen had left was us and Wazzu. Honest question, by the way.MrBug708 wrote:Schools saw his transcriptsNewportcat wrote:I thought he dropped us for a USC or Alabama not WSUMerkin wrote:3goggles wrote:The guys on 1290 are saying that josh Allen is most likely a re commit

Some schools recognize different classes. Ucla looked into him but he wasn't going on. I don't think Arizona is quite like ASU, WSU, or OSU either.
