That kid is going to be a special one in RR's system

Need more help on the other side of the ball anyway.

Cooper would be a hit, but im not concerned with Riley.

chiefzona · Post by **chiefzona** » Sun Jan 17, 2016 7:16 pm

Riley is no loss. JJ Taylor is better and I think Halimon is very good too. Plus, watch Williams in the IE.

Any names that you think Yates and donte will get to commit and or Flip?

tgrumpy2 · Post by **tgrumpy2** » Mon Jan 18, 2016 10:42 am

I know over the weekend everyone's mind was on defensive coordinators. There were a lot of recruits in town over the weekend and I know the University isn't allowed to talk about them much but has anyone heard how any of the visits went? Any positive news on recruits at all? We clamor for information here, even if its wrong.

Newportcat · Post by **Newportcat** » Mon Jan 18, 2016 10:44 am

I guarantee we get some flips and that the guys in town knew what was going on

I think we land Josh Allen too

Recruiting is going to be interesting and fun next couple of weeks

Straight up Savages

I'll come up with a list. Damian Alloway might be one.

Donte knows him well. He would fit perfect in RR's offense. Big numbers.

MrBug708 · Post by **MrBug708** » Mon Jan 18, 2016 10:57 am

Donte is Ground Zero guy, too bad he just missed out on this 2016 class

Exactly and as you know, so is Alloway. I think Donte isn't ready to quit on 2016 yet. Wait for 2017 though. Guarantee its RR's best class at Arizona. Easy. I wouldn't be surprised if it was top 30.

UCLA was able to flip a Ground Zero kid from SJSU earlier, Safety Leni Toiloa.

That was a while ago, Sept?

What was the selling point for UCLA on Leni? He never seemed like a big target for the Pac 12 schools. Nevertheless, I like his size as a Safety. Big enough to move to LB if things work out physically.

MrBug708 · Post by **MrBug708** » Mon Jan 18, 2016 11:56 am

His brother was the selling point. Though ucla could afford a project with good grades.

I am still bummed we lost him. This one hurt, regardless of where he ended up.

Hopefully Tate can develop into a legit passing threat at the P12 level.

It's weird. First Modster and now Burton. Both kids Arizona beat us out for initially. Now for Eleitise!

The incredible shrinking recruiting class. When will the bleeding stop. Looks like some aren't buying that RichRod is here for the long haul.

I've heard this opinion before. About 1000 times over the last month.

Newportcat · Post by **Newportcat** » Tue Jan 19, 2016 2:33 am

Losing Modster and burton to UCLA hurts. Burton was that big strong DE we really need

Bummed but I bet you we land some good players next two weeks

azpenguin · Post by **azpenguin** » Tue Jan 19, 2016 8:02 am

While it sucks to lose recruits, this is a time of a complete reset on defense. A staff change meant we were probably going to lose a few guys. Yates and Williams have an opportunity to go after some guys now. There are some shades of the 2012 class here, when RichRod had to put a class together on the fly. The difference (how big of a difference remains to be seen) is that Yates and Williams already know the area and know who they would want to chase, and would have a shot at some higher caliber guys. The next two weeks are gonna be a lot of fun to watch.

So we hear it's hard to recruit D lineman to the 3-3-5, and the day we switch to a 4 man front our best D line recruit decommits. WTF?

Big, was his UCLA offer commitable before?

Harvey Specter · Post by **Harvey Specter** » Tue Jan 19, 2016 8:48 am

Wow... We now have 13 commits and 8 de-commits.

Hopefully the new staff members will help us finish strong and add some much needed talent to the roster... Especially on D.

Sure was. I guess he and his family just loved the 3-3-5 and/or Kirlav that much.

MrBug708 · Post by **MrBug708** » Tue Jan 19, 2016 9:14 am

I guess so. I know it was rumored he might flip, but I haven't heard much on him lately and forgot about him. Biggins loves his motor so we will see

Speaking of motors.....we just hired a couple of guys with very high octane motors that absolutely love to recruit SoCal. I expect our 2017 class to be filled with guys with great motors and that will give us all (Cats) something to believe in.

I will have to educate myself as to which bruin boards I should visit when we make the mighty Bruins a special little project of ours........

Enjoy your poaching.

Cheers

Remember when kids never de-committed regardless of who the coach was? Oh wait..........

UALoco · Post by **UALoco** » Tue Jan 19, 2016 10:18 am

Ok...let's snap the line. Our recruiting class is currently ranked #54 Nationally and #11 in the P12 on this day, January 19th 2016.

Let's see what we can do by NLI Signing day. And then let's see what we can do in 2017 with our new coaches.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Tue Jan 19, 2016 10:20 am

Shouldn't even call them "commits" until they sign the NLI.

Since this class is only 13 so far, I imagine RichRod will get as many walk ons as he can, and then see if they can earn a scholie if the full 25 isn't used.

If you are expecting to compete with UCLA recruiting, you are going to find yourself disappointed.

Are you saying we will never compete. Or just in the next month? Because if it's the first, then you're insane.
