After the 2016 season, we will not have a single scholarship WR on the roster over 6' other than potential true freshman we sign next year. You would think that would be a point of emphasis for the coaches this recruiting class. How big was Nkael Harry again? I heard his girlfriend goes to UofA. We...

This is not as far fetched as you make it sound.

Gronk, I knew friends in HS that got paid to go to college bc they were talented in a particular academic field. It's not odd. There may not be crowds, but schools definitely compete and create financial incentives. I get that, point being that does not effect a mass audience. College athletics on ...

Not to derail any further, but gronk4heisman's scenario already happens. It's just instead of player payments, Nike gives money so Oregon can have palatial football facilities, new unis, and doesn't do that for Oregon State. Revenue streams are already maximized for the explicit purpose of attracti...

Devin Ross?

If it is, can we finally allow athletes to profit off their likeness? I've been arguing for that for years. Like Trier making his own deals with Nike? Or the UA paying Trier? The problem with the first is that we will have players going all Kobe to get their time on SportsCenter, and the biggest pr...

Interest pays him. I wouldn't say he is well connected. He tries his damndest to be though. He is good at his job.

I don't understand why "rumors" of a head coach potentially being contacted by another team (because they think he is such a quality of a coach in the first place) would scare anyone off. So you would go work for a company if it was widely known that your soon to be new boss was trying with all his...

An email regarding RR's media availability next week on campus went out today. Doesn't sound like a guy with both feet out the door. I am not sure how this shows anything one way or another.

I strongly disagree this class is not awful on paper, the only difference between this year and last is the two QB's we recruited this year compared to the zero we recruited last year. Please explain how it is better? I guess London Iakopo and Jacob Colacion could be considered better than Fotu and ...

gronk4heisman

Back to back awful (on paper) recruiting classes is not a good way to fix our biggest problem this year, depth. Can we just hire someone who can recruit already? Bring in the World Wide Wes of football.

It has been pretty quiet on that front, my guess we would be a very small chance to re land Josh Allen. We should be all in on Kongbo at this point, as we have a better shot there and from what I have seen he is the better player.

gronk4heisman

This thread is even more depressing than our season thread, which does not bode well for the future of this program. This class is nearly identical to last class when you take out the two QB's we recruited this year compared to the zero last year. If we do not end up with at least 2 of the remaining...

This is a real problem guys. We are 15th in the nation in missed free throws. If we don't get this under control we are likely to end up on the wrong side of the bubble. ***sarcasm***

gronk4heisman

Stranger danger, there is always a catch to something "free", what about one for my friend. Those are a few things that could be crossing these youngins' minds.

I agree, Pitts adds a lot to this team. He is probably the person I trust most off the bench along with Dusan to make a seamless transition from our starters. If he does ever find that missing shot that will just be gravy.

gronk4heisman

Just think it needs to be better across the board most games and I said it was no reason to panic yet. Need to see what happens over the next few games to say who I am worried about. But off the top of my head I don't think you can expect the same percentages from Anderson and Allen. TJ dropped off...

gronk4heisman

He is putting up impressive numbers as an undrafted, rookie starter; that cannot be denied. Well done TJ. If he keeps this up, one suspects he will be given a more lucrative contract at the end of the season. TJ basically signed a 4-year deal this summer. Still is only guaranteed $100k unless he is...

gronk4heisman

Pitts shots are going to fall eventually, he could have easily had a double digits night. Why is this a given? He lost his shot before conference play started last year and has not "found" it since. I think one of the biggest fallacies out there is that Pitt's is a 3pt specialist, TJ hit the same a...

TuiTouchdown wrote:I saw a few big time visitors came by and witnessed the upset. Anyone got a list?

Two big ones I know of are Jonathan Kongbo (number one JC player, DL/LB) and Connor Murphy (Top 5 instate DL). Getting either of them would be a major Coup and make up for the loss of Allen.

gronk4heisman

I wouldn't count on any kid who committ's that early, but one difference between Burmeister and Patterson is that Patterson only comitted to follow his brother wherever his coaching career took him. What's the word on Kongbo? He obviously would have all the playing time he needs here, but can we rea...

It probably has a lot to do with the fact that the NCAA is going hard after joke schools like Hillcrest and the Bagley's want to be able to play basketball in college.

I may be in minority, but I love what they are doing. They are my adopted NBA team of choice. The could potentially have 3 lottery picks this year an 4 in the top 20. Along with adding Dario Saric and Embid to the rotation next year, this team could be very fun to watch for many years.

So they are 4-5 and have landed to states top 2 players! We are losing recruits but the are gaining them with there shitty ass season! Wtf! Lucas hasn't even been recruited by arizona in a while. Harry is a good pickup. Our recruiting isn't even close to done yet What names are still out there that...

Not sure what you are arguing here. I agree it would be great to have 100K fans at every game, but at the same time I am realistic and do not expect those not invested in the football team to waste their time and money to watch a team that is putting out a shitty product. When you are using wins aga...

You don't go to a shitty concert at a venue in hopes of getting a better act in future weeks.

My ideal coach for Arizona has to be defensive minded, recruit the west coast well, play a pro style offense and runs a 4-3 or 3-4. That would be first and foremost with me. No more effin OKGs, Zone Read Options and 3-3-5. All gimmicks. So you want....Mike Stoops? The only reason he had any success...

Honest question, are you typing in a different language and having it translated to English?

Love RR but we will NEVER have a top 25 defense with this staff. We just have to be great on offense and get used to when we lose and get dominated or are unefficient on offense, it will get ugly.

In my opinion, he's being selective. Only Conference and 1:30pm or earlier start. Here's Conference only and Day road game (before 6pm).
