Granted, ESPN is not nearly the best when it comes to Recruiting, but we're not even in their top 40 classes right now.

ASUcks, on the other hand, is 37th.

Colin is a beast, love this kid!

CIF State Champion's (San Clemente) RB's quote below...

“He’s probably the best linebacker that I’ve ever played against,” San Clemente All-County running back/wide receiver Brandon Reaves said of 6-foot-1, 220-pound Schooler, who was recently offered at linebacker by Arizona.

“He’s just big, physical. He hits pretty hard. We knew coming into the game that he was going to be a force.”

I said it at the time but I would've made Donte the DC to keep the pipeline open for top SoCal talent! What this class would've been if Donte was still here. I bet you RR would want to pay Donte out of his pocket now!

Well Month or so ago I predicted high 30's or low 40's. Ended up on the low end (not surprised).

Rich Rod 1st class that I don't really credit RR finished higher in composite rank than RR's class this year. Stoops Fired, RR hired 2 months before signing day and that class rank was higher than this years (best ever).

Well 64 teams in power five conference. Only 70% of those teams finished ranked higher than UA. Positive side UA has so far ranked higher than 30% of power 5.

I see Rivals maybe trying to put a little spin on this class saying it's RR's 2nd best ranked class at UA. Using composite ranks, it's RR's 2nd worst. Last years was his worst (so far).

The 2015 signing class (the one during the P12 South title season) finished 43rd. Essentially same as this year's. That 2015 class was the beginning of the slide. RR and Co. no where near capitalized on the 2014 season momentum.

Other then losing the corners and the big mater dei kid I thought we got some really good defensive pieces. I think the Schooler kid and Pandy will be really good LB's and we got some great d-ends.

I guess we are who we are and I am not sure any coach will ever make a difference

Bullshit. Stoops had 2 classes in a row ranked in the Top 3 in Conference.

With a staff that could simply recruit to our natural place in pecking order of the PAC, we would finish between 6-8 in the PAC every year. Not 11th.

We have disadvantages vs USC, UCLA, UO, UW, & Stanford. We should compete on par with, or better than, the rest.

You eat an elephant one bite at a time. Let's get into the 6-8 spot first and then worry about breaking into the Top 5.

If we had the 6th best record in the PAC since RR arrived you and I would both be on his bandwagon.

Where did it get stoop after those two classes? . You can brag all you want about on what he did, But at the end of the days who is the HC of Arizona and Who recruiting for Arizona because I'm know it isn't stoops.

Stoops could not do much with it because he was a poor coach. But he proved that we can recruit in the upper division of the PAC.

RR had one very good year with predominantly Stoops recruits.

RR just can't recruit. If this class really does finish ranked 11th, it has to be about as bad as we've done without a new coach & an abbreviated recruiting season.

There's now a starting LT Grad Transfer available. RR called out yesterday if any grad transfer out there that can contribute to give him a call.

CAL's starting LT Aaron Cochran announced he's transferring. UA OL coach Jim Michalczik recruited him to CAL before he came to UA. There's been other CAL transfers since Michalczik joined UA staff. Hey, why not...

UA ended up blanking getting any OLs in this class. Some word Cochran close to OL coach that left to Texas Tech after Sonny Dykes and staff let go.

Peurco you might want to rethink that because I haven't complain about RR like you and others have done which is bitchin. But I did complain against half of posters that believe we should of fired RR or complain like dummy on how poor his rosters is or his future.

You know what, I hope RR does improve his team in 2017 to remove what has been the worst season in 2016. He will improve this team if you like it or not.
