He only had 90 in 18 Pac 12 games last year....Quite the turnaround on the glass.

I am still waiting to see him consistently be at least average when not playing at home. Playing at home has never been the issue.

Hate the fee or not, but its the only way we can improve Arizona Stadium which is in desperate need of help Or we could hold Larry Scott accountable for the cluster fuck that is the Pac 12 Network. How much has our budget increased since we signed that deal? I would say much less than every other P...

Looks like a good addition, Rich Rod has done a complete 180 when it comes to trying to bring talent to town and I am loving it. If the team of recruiters he has put together can not get the job done, it is safe to say Arizona will never be able to recruit at a high level.

Zeus can't have that Me Against the World mentality if he wants to break into and remain in the league. There were So Many Tearz by some of our fans after Miller went Krazy on Zeus. But Miller basically said Only God Can Judge Me, so he's clearly Old School. Probably told Zeus, "Keep Ya Head Up." A...

So is Amey officially official?

If he is the choice today would probably be the best day to announce it, it is his birthday.

The last time we didn't run an uptempo offense was when Mike Canalas was our OC. I don't remember that working out to well. That was the last time the DL was good. Brooks Reed, D'Andre Reed, and Ricky Elmore. I believe Elmore got All PAC 10 and so did Brooks. Didn't Elmore get PAC 10 defensive POY?...

Only Arizona football would have trouble luring an alum position coach away from Pullman. Such a true statement I think it is a big mistake we didn't hire someone with strong Polynesian connections We just got the best "Polynesian" player in the entire '16 class without a Polynesian connection.

A few notes, if this was the hire UA should have done everything they could to hide the news since it is very underwhelming based on the wait. I agree with previous poster's that obviously things fell thru with other candidates. The real question is, is that really Vincent Amey in that picture or An...

Not sure why this is noteworthy, that is right in line with his shooting percentages for his career at Arizona 40.3% vs. 41.3%. The turnover's this year I think are the bigger issue.

Louisville announcement (players suffer, coach gets off scot free). Haden retiring (not necessarily bad but takes a lot of the media attention). Manziel stuff (hate to see anyone falling apart like this, even someone like him). Crane collapse (1 dead, others injured, a lot of damage). All of this t...

Would be a helluva thing if Majerle hires him at Grand Canyon.
I would find it hard to believe that he would take a job as an assistant at a lesser mid-major after being a head coach.

A very bad head coach whose team's never played up to the the talent on the roster.

They might still already have someone. It's one day after signing day. If they don't announce something by the weekend then I'll figure they're still looking. Allis said RR was talking to the team tonight and that it may come tomorrow. He thinks it's not a home run but somebody young either going t...

As a comparison, every SEC team has an indoor practice facility including Kentucky and Vanderbilt. I really hope this fee is used for that instead of making the stadium smaller and putting in seat backs. I have never heard anyone say they don't go to the game because their are no seat backs and I su...

Nobody hangs recruiting banners like ASU. And Phoenix TV and radio just add to the delusion of importance. ASU signed the fewest HS players of any P5 school with 11. The next fewest was 15. For the record I do think the HS players they did get are pretty good. They also signed the most JC players o...

So we have one spot left to fill? Two if Cooper switches? Is that top kicker who had interest in us still on the board? Who else do we still have on our board for that last spot? Himphill?

Hopefully we fare better with Derrick Holmes little brother.

Im pretty sure this shuts the door for Hemphill. We have three good looking LB's coming into program that may potentially run a system with only two LB's, I am hoping we close out this class with Bundage and Ulloa at this point. That would be a hell of a class based off how we were looking just last...

I like that get a lot. We have a good group of LB's coming in this class, safe to say Vic V. isn't coming here?

Does that leave us three more spots? Two with Ulloa?

I have this feeling he's trolling. He's been retweeting every schools stuff. The only other school I've seen on his twitter feed in the last couple of days has been Oregon 1 time. OK St has made an appearance on his re tweets as well as Arkansas. Arizona leads if we are going off a re tweets the la...

I'm actually pleasantly surprised with how this class has turned out. If we get Ulloa, which it appears we are I will be OK with the class. I would still be more on the disappointed side then the happy side, but I have been reserved to the fact that this years class will not be the class we were le...

I think we get Chacho, Allen, Burns and we keep Cooper. Hoping we get Sao and Hemphill but those are 50/50 shots Hope you're right! Victor announcing with Chacho so maybe they're a package deal?

I hate seeing topics involving a players name popping up on the football board in the offseason since I know it will be bad news. Sad to see him go, I think if healthy he would have been a great addition to this team.

I'll take an opposing view to vet it out. Maybe a DL coach hasn't been named because it IS such a strong coach. A coach that would have a major impact to their current school if they leave before signing day, so much so that they would be burning a bridge if they didn't leave the school after signi...

Where is the money from this lucrative Pac 12 Network deal going? Not to the players that much is clear.

But I'm also glad that the populace in this thread is now realizing the rest of the class has been mismanaged and left a lot to desire. I wouldn't call it mismanaged at all, but i know the glasses some of you look through. Everyone wanted a new defense. Bamm. Fired his 2 buddies and hired young fre...

Britt also would fall under the Wallace umbrella. Why even offer a scholarship to a guy who is most likely not going to make an impact at a P5 school.

Rawle Alkins is also a terrific defender per Jonathan Givony and you can definitely make the argument he's a better offensive player than JJ.

Iakopo is a big loss, as was Burton and I would say Allen if I was not confident we are going to get him back. Lumping them together with Patterson (who committed because his brother was on staff) and Speights (who committed because Patterson committed) is misleading. It never made sense for Modster...

I'm of the mindset that a class of JJ/Kobi/RA simply cannot exist. You figure Smith returning and there's some serious talent. Problem is, outside of Kentucky, who hasn't won when stacking talent like this yet, no team has had this many 6-4-6-8 players with that level of talent at once. Even if a l...
