I too was very impressed with Coopers film. Looks like he can lay the wood and has very good techniques. Wallace on the other hand, it looks like he could use a lot of work on tackling. He does not wrap up and a lot of times just throws his body at the ball carrier in hopes of knocking him over. He ...

Did we offer him at QB? Seems like a better fit at LB or S especially given our current a future depth.

I would say we have about 9 spots left to fill, the list of big names we are still in on are as follows (in order of ranking) let me know if I am missing anyone. It looks like we have a handful of guys we could fill this class with and some special talent that we could hopefully swoop in and steal l...

Whats your thoughts on Chacho Chief? I would say this does feel like a class where we had an entirely new staff coming in who is scrambling to fill a bunch of spots at the end. But I am optimistic they fill them with great players. I love Chacho. I think he would be a great get and fit very nicely ...

Didn't Yates coach at A&M for a couple years? I know his strength is Cali but imagine he must have made some connections in Texas while there. At this point, I think they need to get the best available, and ASAP. Hopefully they will have some recruiting chops too. Don't imagine this is helping secu...

I would be happy with Lewis, but still think we should take this chance to get someone that can expand our recruiting zone back into Texas. It's a mistake to ignore arguable the best and at worst third best state for talent when it is only two states away. The 85th best recruit in the state of Texas...

Asking a healthy committed player to grey shirt is coaches speak for we aren't going to pull your scholarship but we would be perfectly fine with you leaving.

I don't need a color commentator telling me whats going on in the game, that's what eyes are for. He definitely does make a slow game like last night go by quicker though. I get the hate for him, but I personally look forward to listening to him and think he should have his own tv show.

Mike Tuiasosopo isn't getting the USC DL job as some expected. I would hope they're getting him on the phone pronto. Isn't he employed by UCLA? Modster just listed him as one of the reasons he is going to UCLA in an interview two days ago. I could be wrong but I think that's Marques Tuisasosopo. He...

yeah, i seem to remember thad matta hinting that kobi would be OAD, though that really doesn't mean anything. If Kobi is one and done it is more likely to be a Grant Jarrett situation then him being a lottery pick. There are 17 incoming freshman all rated higher than him for a reason. He happens to...

Would Oscar Giles be to big of a stretch?

If we could find a recruiting hot shot for the state of Texas who is a capable coach to complete the staff, that would be ideal in my opinion.

Even with a class of LM and KS, that probably sends us skyrocketing up the class rankings. Add JJ, and we pass everyone but UK. We aren't passing Duke, nor should we. I think Duke has the best class in the country coming in. Those Sports Center commercials must be helping. The fact that they have 2...

You have to think that if Yates becomes the DC that Josh Allen will be a wildcat. And you would think that Jabari Watson becomes a cat again. Wasn't he going to Boise state now we take there DC. I love this hire if it's true! How old is Yates? I don't see that unless he has changed his willingness ...

You could drop in Arizona's current talent very nicely into a 4-2-5. Williams, Griffin and Bruno would probably thrive in that scheme. We would most likely need to move a few LB's to DL, anyone with any insight on which LB's have the tools to play DE well? First two that came to my mind were Ippoli...

gronk4heisman

He looks really good. I'm just concerned as to why no one wants him. I am more concerned with the USA basketball issue than who is recruiting him at this point. OSU was still recruiting him hard until it become clear they weren't getting him, my understanding is that both UNC and UK were also recru...

I think if we are getting him, it's because Trier is leaving. They seem to me to be very similar players. Also, in the post above I do not see anyway Kadeem is not our starting PG next year. In the unlikely world that everything goes right I see the line up being more like this: KA AT JJ RS DR LM JS...

They are saying that Sirmon and Wilcox are both in the running. You'd want Wilcox as the Arizona DC?

Why not both?

I don't see us getting any positional coaches until we get a DC, and if we offered Joe the DC he would be here in a second though I personally don't think he is ready for that kind of promotion.

Can we just ban Chief already, or relegate him to the Arch Rivals forum. Does every thread about Arizona football really have to turn into the Chief show? P.S. Stuff is going to happen, I can't tell you what exactly and will leave it vague enough to cover all my bases. I'll remind you in a week or t...

How many different names can Scheer throw out there before one sticks?

Based on Rich Rod's interviews it sounds like this change had more to do with getting younger and more energetic on the recruiting trail than actual scheme. Which I am one that believes that talent is the bigger issue than scheme, though not a fan of the 3-3-5. You put our near misses the past few y...

Could someone explain to me why Rich Rod is asking healthy players to grey shirt? First Watson and now Riley, we are well under our allotted 25 scholarships at the moment (I think we currently sit at 16). Is there something I am missing?

Couple of points, first point. The Timing to me does not seem that far out there, he let Lockwood go earlier in order to put a familiar bridge in place for the recruits in order to limit the damage.

Why are we crediting the DL coach for the performance of the D? If SD St is so good at D, shouldn't we go after their DC not a position coach?

San Diego St's recruiting is not that great either, so not sure how good a recruiter he is.

We do add Fotu back to Fuimaono (sp?), Zellers, and Bruno which I think is a good start. Hopefully Marcus Griffen and Shariff Williams can contribute, I thought they were both great gets when we signed them. Also, maybe a miracle happens and we get Boss Tagaloa and Josh Allen who I think could both ...

We do not want anything to do with Clancy Pendergast. It seems many of you forget who's play calling cost the Cardinals the Super Bowl against the steelers.

I don't think we want Watson that bad, he was asked to Grey Shirt IMO as a way to open up a spot for someone the staff wants more.

As for the DC, I say we break the bank for Pendergast.

gronk4heisman

Any word on if he can be an instant impact player? We are in need of some life on defense, based on his ranking and the competition he was facing I would guess he would need to use that redshirt year.

Yes Chief, you are stating the obvious, but we have a faction that will die before admitting how morbid it all is.
