Arizona Football Recruiting

[azcatsfan8120]

Looks like the cats have a couple of great recruits comming to the u of a this spring, i cant wait untill i see them play, i think that they will make an immediate impact this year especially on the d-line i think the cats just might go bowling next year.

[Autzen Powers]

gotta link for those recruits? wanna see who Zona's stealing from Oregon

www.tucsoncitizen.com
that is our home news paper and under sports there are storys there also rivals.com and i think scout.com also have some insite as well

storys say that with holmes, pete carrol and his staff was with him for 3 hours the night before he commited to az trying to sway him to usc

[Autzen Powers]

I don't blame him - why sit bench for USC when you could play for AZ? or at least not sit bench for several years, anyway. I think we'll see Zona in a bowl game for sure next year and I think they'll be a really competitive team to play.

Don't know why all the good players don't go to AU or ASU. Both are good academic schools, the sun, plenty of beautiful women (so i'm told), nice facilities, etc. Tough for cold schools like in the NW to compete.

ASU was in the mix for a bit but holmes said that ASU just waited too late to go after him, he said that if ASU had started sooner he might have been a sun devil now. i thought that was very strange that ASU didnt recruit sooner because he went to scottsdale community college just down the street but they waited too long and now he will be a wildcat

so is the (3, 3) or (5, 5) kind of like a star rating?

ASU didn't pick that guy up - yet another reason to not like Koetter?

[brady_44]

I've heard some really good things about Arizona recruiting this year. I think Stoops' is really making some huge improvements and building a nice foundation there. I think in 2 or 3 years they will be a consistant top 25 team.

yeah the 3,3 or 5,5 is the star rating, one is from scout.com and the other is rivals.com
