Re: 2017 recruits/commitment thread
I know most of us have jumped on the Braxton Burmeister dog and pony show bandwagon here. I know he's an important part in our recruiting puzzle this year so I don't want to make light of it.But are there any other decent recruits out there we have a chance to pull in? I heard we were trying to flip a running back from Michigan and I know we offered a big offensive lineman from California. How are we doing with these kids and what else is simmering in the pot out there? Do we have any shot at some big defensive lineman? Oh and what ever happened to that flake of a defensive end from Arizona Western that wasn't eligible and went off to Eastern Arizona. Is he ever going to wear Arizona Red and Blue?

Don't kill the messenger but he has changed his mind. Sorry to get people's hopes up. I am not one of those guys who just wants attention. I don't like reporting that is not true.

Look for a 75% run/25% pass mix with those throwing arms.
With daddy likely gone during/after next season I imagine he will redshirt then transfer.

I don't like how these kids commit and de-commit all the time... but this staff is toast and he has to know it. He should have stayed decommitted the first time, because coming here for 1 year and then facing a regime change (most likely) would suck.
Kid got a better offer and do what almost every head coach does EVERY time he gets a better offer. And we all know damn well our HC would have.

Re: 2017 recruits/commitment thread
UA has had one QB take a snap in the NFL in the PAC era.
Oregon has had how many? Of course Akili Smith is one of the biggest busts in the NFL, but made millions doing it.
Easy choice if that was me thinking about a NFL future.
Oregon coeds are just as hot as UA coeds too.
Has RichRod been on the phone with BB besides a courtesy call? With all these players are recruits bailing it seems like he isn't even trying.
Tilford is probably thinking WTF am I doing?

Re: 2017 recruits/commitment thread
After the season we had, I am surprised the defections did not start sooner. Some will say that it's the lack of an extension for RR that is causing this - but I would not be in support of that move.Merkin wrote:UA has had one QB take a snap in the NFL in the PAC era.

I think this loss will drop our class to 22-23 on the Rivals rankings.
Tilford has to be pissed at BB... I appreciate the kid sticking with us and hope he kills it here. He had some serious offers.
Do people really think BB would have started next year as a true frosh? I don't...

I'm not sure Dawkins and Tate can even hits the open nets in throwing practice. This reminds me of the Chuck Levy or the Ronnie Veal years.Harvey Specter wrote: Do people really think BB would have started next year as a true frosh? I don't...
Look next year for a year of games like ASU, where the Cats don't even attempt a pass during a half.

We can win with Dawkins, Tilford and a marginally improved defense. Not having a running back is what really killed us this year. We've won with a crappy D before. If BB chooses the Ducks, well good luck to him..I am going to focus on the young men who stayed loyal and honored their commitment. I am gonna give the coaches the benefit of the doubt that they are still putting in the effort until it is proven otherwise. If we do suck next year, and RR is let go, I will support Greg Byrne and his next choice. I bleed Red and Blue and I can't help it. Stupid, I know.

Nor do I. I'm no h.s. QB judge, but the kid played at La Jolla Country Day, a tiny less than athletically minor private school playing less than athletically minor competition. Had BB put up those numbers at Cathedral Catholic (Calif. State Champs), or the likes, then maybe - and only maybe.

I don't know how the coaches' effort on the recruiting trail can be proven, but I don't think our recent stumbles are the result of that.
It is the result of a program in shambles, and the lead recruiter for some of these studs leaving did not help.
If we end up on par with past classes (which appears likely), that's actually an improvement (on a relative basis). We are coming up on year 6, and there is no "promise of a rising program" to sell. We are paying the piper for past recruiting failures & shitty results that put us in that position.
As for "rooting on the kids that want to be Cats"... I am all for it. But there aren't very many kids that do who had other attractive options.

I get it... I wish he was coming here, too. And he would have had a much better chance at playing at Arizona - assuming our next coach runs a scheme he is well suited to.
And he also would likely not have been a part of a legitimate team until year 4 or 5 in the program, if ever. But those are things he should have known when he re-committed the 2nd time.

Yeah, it's the fact that this is his second decommitment that is really chapping my ass. Change your mind once? Fine. Flip flopping again? I'm not a big enough person to wish him good luck.

I didn't say I thought RR would go 9-3, I said I hope he does and if he does you'll still find something to complain and whine about. Let me give you another example.

As for the rest of us? The sky is not falling... it fell. And the only vultures are head coaches who get even richer, fatter, and happier off of the ridiculous market that is college coaching, I am sick and fucking tired of these guys making fortunes without any expectation of performance. Where in the fuck else can a guy make $2MM+ per annum, where firing 'for cause' has nothing to do with performance - and they are owed deep into 7-8 figures if they are terminated regardless of how unsuccessful they are. If it was a pay for performance world (like most of us live in) there would be a lot less venom coming from this poster.
Yes, many are negative in response to the very negative state of this program. Put keep enjoying have your tongue firmly planted up the backside of the current regime... Never been a rim job guy myself.
If they go 9-3 next year, I will be ECSATIC. And I'll even be disappointed if we follow it up with another great campaign in 2018 when RR leaves in the middle fo the night for a bigger paycheck from a high profile program.
This staff will earn whatever loyalty it gets from me... and right no it ain't earning much.
Re: 2017 recruits/commitment thread
Yeah, so what you're saying is that you're going to rah rah the program till the brutal end. Well guess what, we all want the program to succeed. Some of us just feel like there is justification to criticize the current state and that changes need to be made in order to achieve the success we all want. You might be happy with the results over the past five years, but I and about 50% of the others around here are not. I expect UA to average a winning record in conference and against ASU. If a coach can't deliver that, well then guess what? On to the next one.tgrumpy2 wrote:Not stupid, I'm with you 100% and the rest of these vultures make me sick.

Rewarding mediocrity only gets you more of the same.
So that either makes me a bad fan or you a bad fan. I know which one I believe.

I always hope for better and want better but the fact is RR is the for now the coach and this recruiting class for whatever it turns out to be is our recruiting class. I'm not going to wish for their demise. To me what you and some others are doing is like getting on an airplane and recognizing the pilot as someone you don't care for and hoping the plane crashes because you don't like the pilot. That makes no sense to me. This entire thread has been pretty much negative and I'm tired of it and put in my two cents worth. So yea I'm rah rahing to the bitter end and hoping for better. Oh well.
Re: 2017 recruits/commitment thread
No one here is hoping that RichRod fails. That where your whole premise is screwed up. We WANTED Burmeister and Johnson and the others to come to Tucson. We desperately WANTED him to do a great job this year. Unfortunately none of those things happened.
Now, since he's the coach here we all desperately WANT him and the team to be successful next year. But truth to tell, it simply doesn't feel likely to happen.
Personally, I'd have started the coaching search this year, because I just can't see a likely scenario where RichRod performs to a high enough level to save his job, which is a shame, because I like the guy. So might as well get started earlier rather than later. That said, I'll be cheering him and the team on as hard as I can, just like always.

Just seems RichRod is mailing it in, and with the recruits bailing doesn't seem to be trying very hard to keep them since it seems the Cats lost 100% of those who were waffling.
With all those recruits bailing, and the transfers such as Solomon he couldn't spare a scholie for Kenny, esp. when the LB corps is extremely weak?
Re: 2017 recruits/commitment thread
hope for the best and plan for the worst. Love RR and support him as best I can but the evidence against him succeeding is pretty slim. Not many teams win with real freshman and he has lost more of his first 4 classes then he retained. Very few all PAC guys from his recruits, even fewer NFL type guys.
He and Rita are so engaging that they could have really made a splash together (as Amy Miller never really is seen and likes to keep a lower profile) but for whatever reason they thought the grass could have been greener elsewhere (or just wanted more green). Hopefully we surprise but I just kind of doubt it

Re: 2017 recruits/commitment thread
Outside of Tilford, are they even any true freshmen who can make in immediate impact? Maybe some of the WRs could get some snaps being they are taller than any current UA WR besides Poindexter.
Get ready to lose another:

My guess is Faoliu, Willborn, Jackson, and Casteel. Some will have to make an impact whether they like it or not. Poor depth will push everyone and some who shouldn't see the field, will.

If BB decided to go to Oregon already you would think it would be all over Twitter by now.

Since he is already missing school, maybe he will wait to enroll on the fall someplace.

Re: 2017 recruits/commitment thread
And another one gone. I feel sorry for what our next coach has to inherit. Rich Rod probably shouldn't have talked about how he realized recruiting is important and how great the players he has coming in are going to be. At this point, this class will be lucky to break the top 40 nationally.
Re: 2017 recruits/commitment thread
Yeah whoever takes over in 11 or 12 months will get a program that is nearly devoid of talent and worse off than when RR was hired. Which is why I don't see us winning more than 3-6 games a year for the rest of this decade.gronk4heisman wrote:And another one gone. I feel sorry for what our next coach has to inherit.

Re: 2017 recruits/commitment thread
Why should this be a worry of concern that yet another recruit decommitting from Arizona. I don't see RR or Our staff moaning and crying about yet another decommits.gronk4heisman wrote:And another one gone. I feel sorry for what our next coach has to inherit.

What funny is that National Signing Day is next month and we still have other offer from other recruiting prospects.

Re: 2017 recruits/commitment thread
One more gone, Faoliu decommitted.
Re: 2017 recruits/commitment thread
Not at QB unless you think Rhett Rod is the future. Why should they moan, he gets his 3M a year. Remember when he said this would be the best class is AZ history, well the clock is ticking
