Rich Rod's 2013 recruiting class
I went back and found a 10-page thread on Rich Rod's 2013 recruiting class from TOS and not one mention of Scooby Wright. It just shows that most of us do not know as much as we think.

Re: Rich Rod's 2013 recruiting class
I found this post from HeHateMe
"Really excited for!- Bryan Harper, TUNA BENNETT, Dylan Cozens, Kyle Kelley, Dakota Conwell, Yamen Sanders and Leo Thomas
Excited for- Beau Boyster, JT Washington, Zach Hemmila, Wayne Capers Jr, Javelle Allen, Josh Kern and Williams Parks.
Allah, Bundage, Bush-Loo, Georges, Griffey, Gross, Ippolito, Lopez, Melvin and Petrullo are all nice players that will need time to develop."
Idk if it is just me, but the guys he is really excited for don't seem to be making an impact, or I just don't pay close enough attention.

Harper left after a year - family issues. Cozens never showed up - baseball. Leo Thomas quit the first week. Conwell - concussions.AZarchery wrote:I found this post from HeHateMe

Kelley left after two years. Bennett transferred to FCS SE Louisiana after a year.

Smartest post in the thread from cdspencer:
Dumbest post? All of uacats posts.RR recruiting? Let's review some recent history. He left WVU loaded with talent (guaranteed 9 to 10 wins a year) unfortunately they hired "grandpa" Bill Stewart as his replacement. How did Brady Hoke do last year with RR recruits?
Re: Rich Rod's 2013 recruiting class
Does anyone know what happened to Bennett?

Re: Rich Rod's 2013 recruiting class
The dumbest of all-time by uacats was Kadeem is only "Tucson good" and he didn't want him. He wanted some other running whose name I can't remember.ANGCatFan wrote:Smartest post in the thread from cdspencer:

his SPARQ score was off the chart, wondering how we landed him. Said he was going to be special. I don't know how to search over there.
Re: Rich Rod's 2013 recruiting class
That's because the link is to the 2012 class, RR's first class. Scooby was 2013, the second class.

Yes, I do trust the coaches talent evaluation, but when they continually lose out on higher rated kids to the usual suspects it's disappointing that a prospects the coaches believed in chose a rival instead.

Re: Rich Rod's 2013 recruiting class
I think there is a natural reaction from us fans that the guys who get away are all going to be stars, when in reality they probably have about the same success rate as the guys we do get.CatsbyAZ wrote:For all my complaining of how this years recruiting has gone, this puts plenty into perspective.AZarchery wrote:I found this post from HeHateMe

Re: Rich Rod's 2013 recruiting class
2012 class is a wash imo. Only had two months to recruit and took some kids he normally wouldn't take.
Re: Rich Rod's 2013 recruiting class
It appears it was a servicable class. A few starters, Parks and Bundage. Several contributors Allah, Ippolito, Griffey, Lopez and maybe next year Melvin. Some guys that might come along like Sanders, Hemilla and Boyster.
Maybe we should be surprised RR got as much out of this class as he did given it was his first class and he was hired in December? All in all, it seems to be what we thought it would be, light on impact guys

J. Allah and especially Ippolito have been the biggest surprises. Expected them to be nothing more than local filler.azcat49 wrote:It appears it was a servicable class.

I'm hoping Hemilla and Boyster's lack of visibility have more to do with the amount of OL ahead of them on the depth chart, and they'll be heavy contributors once spots open for them going into next season.
As for Lopez, other than special teams, where has he been a factor? I'm not even sure where on the roster he plays.

Safety. Didn't he pick up Scooby's strip of Kelley in the first quarter of the ASU game and score a touchdown?CatsbyAZ wrote:

Yea, that's right. He's been moved all across the roster. Haven't been able to keep track.UAEebs86 wrote:Safety. Didn't he pick up Scooby's strip of Kelley in the first quarter of the ASU game and score a touchdown?CatsbyAZ wrote:

Re: Rich Rod's 2013 recruiting class
As for Carey, I love that guy, great vision, toughness and everything, but I mean he is not that fast... And he's not that big neither...
I think Wilson would accomplish more baring injuries.

Re: Rich Rod's 2013 recruiting class
if Wilson plays all 4 years I could see him beating Carey's career numbers. would just need to average 1100 yards and 12 tds a season. or get 1500 yards and 16 tds each of the next 2 seasons
Re: Rich Rod's 2013 recruiting class
Right now Wilson certainly doesn't seem as durable (that could change with the S&C program) as KaDeem but he also appears to have more break away speed.
DC and I were talking about his TD run in the third quarter vs ASSU and whether Deem would have been caught from behind which I think he woudl have

Re: Rich Rod's 2013 recruiting class
So former LB Dakota Conwell ended up playing again, even though he left Arizona with concussion issues, as a QB at a small school:
