We currently have a top 20 recruiting class w/o counting transfers. Top 20, let that sink in. That has got to help us in the transfer portal. Fisch must have disguised the obvious fact that he is an inferior coach, since a bunch are offense and high profile one's may have some professional guidance ...

I think we are taking advantage of the new world order (aka Transfer Portal) where pretty good players at major programs want to showcase their skills, i.e. getting immediate playing time. That's a good thing and Fisch appears to be nailing that along with convincing HS kids to come to Arizona. But...

AV8RCAT

My biggest concern is of course QB. Fisch has to thread the needle between building a strong future and getting some wins now. If Noah is really the future, I'm not sure we have a good bridge.

AV8RCAT

We’ve been an emotionally abused fan base for years. Glimmers of hope, then gut wrenching losses. I’m giving Jedd a pass on his first season as HC, but I understand how skeptics might not be on board. Arizona football has tainted us all in one way or another. This recruiting class gives me somethin...

Just got a linebacker from Michigan. Pretty impressive that he is getting some of the best players available when he is apparently, obviously? a terrible coach. Hard to believe all of the football people advising them haven't warned them. It's funny how in the spring and summer, many were saying we ...

AV8RCAT

We just got a linebacker from USC. Fisch is doing good things. I think he'll figure out how to get the offense moving too.

I lean toward thinking that someone who is doing something I don't know how to do, may have a reason for how he does it and that's what I was considering.

AV8RCAT

How many P5 head football coaches call the offensive (or defensive) plays for that matter? Just curious, don't really know. Don't believe RichRod did, nor Stoops. Not sure if Sumlin did anything except keep incompetent staff on. Even Dick Tomey brought in Homer Smith to bring some creativity to the...

UW game. Up 16-7 and driving. 5 straight run plays, for 40 yards (35 total because of false start penalty). 1st and 10 and the UW 28, and I know Fisch wanted to call a "safe" pass play, but why? We were running the ball down their throats, and in a positive position. If you call play action, you go...

AV8RCAT

I really doubt Fisch has a "complete lack of football IQ"
All I know is we were expected to suck because of a lack of talent and we did suck. I'm still putting the suckage on lack of talent rather than incompetent coaching.

AV8RCAT

This idea that you have to have spent 20 years coaching to recognize when playcalling is suboptimal is hilarious to me. We went 1-11. We scored less than 20 touchdowns during the entire season. If you think Jedd called the right play 99% of the time but for some reason they just didn’t work, you ma...

AV8RCAT

I agree that over all the verdict is still out. He still has to sooner than later produce wins. After next year, I may be more on your side of this but right now I don't agree with some assessments on his sideline coaching. The players seemed to have bought into his system and if he was that bad, p...

AV8RCAT

Each new season is a chance to enjoy optimism.There are signs that this thing is being built right. Why not go into the season thinking we might win more games than expected?
I say we win 5 games next year. 3 will be late in the season and will be surprises.

Get some fucking talent into the program first. Then if the only argument/concern is with Jeff’s play calling or game management great…I can live with that. Shit, I’ve been doing that since the Tomey era. Until that time who gives a shit if we were a a 1 win or 3 win team. First stop is becoming bo...

AV8RCAT

I figured losing big would be like 3-8. Close would be 6-7. Winning close 7-6. Winning big: 10 or more wins. 8 and 9 wins is in between but certainly successful.

That whole 4 step process was blabbered by RR. What happened was he won medium, won medium, won big, won close, lost big, won close. That timeline is usually disrupted in some way. Things happen. Backups turn out to be better than last years starters. Freshmen and transfers emerge as playmakers. Neg...

Nobody was going to confuse our roster with Alabama's, but we could've won 3, maybe 4 last year. Poor play calling and game management cost us a few victories. Not too a deal as there isn't much difference between 1 win and 3 wins. And hopefully these problems can be fixed between by year 3. But wh...

All the off field stuff looks great, but until it translates to between the lines on the turf, it's just same shit different day to me. Not going to be fooled into being cautiously optimistic - 40 years as a fan has taught me better. I'm optimistic when there is a reason for it. I think there is. D...

You can't lose to NAU and get an A. It's simple A in one category, F in the other = C As the first category, every thing that happens off the field, is designed to improve the 2nd category, winning on the field, it is at least as important grade wise. Especially early on. This class is out of Arizo...

Fisch may have made the biggest impact of any AZ coach already. "After all, if the program is good enough for a Tetaiora McMillan or Sterling Lane, why wouldn’t it be good enough for them? Keyan Burnett, Ephesians Prysock and Kevin Green Jr. all chose Arizona over USC, so why shouldn’t other high-en...

My thought is it wasn't a disaster. Since we had one win There's no better window into where Arizona football is then the fact someone can say we had a 1-11 season that included a home loss to a sub .500 FCS team in the same breath as saying the season wasn't a disaster...and it doesn't come off li...

Landing Slovis would have been sort of a statement pick up. I hope Fisch has a plan for what seems to be a shaky QB roster. I see anywhere from 0 to 7 wins, meaning this team will be so different from 21's team, that record is of no use in prediction.

AV8RCAT

According to a report, former USC quarterback Kedon Slovis will announce he is transferring to Pitt.

On KVOA Channel 4 last night David Kelly was making a big deal about Noah's height when talking to Matt Moreno from TOS (who didn't think it was a big deal). Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson say hi.

So we have a top 25 class. Where will that be in February? Still, the CFB world has to be taking notice, probably be an ESPN headline if we were Vanderbilt. How much does it help us in 22? How many freshmen will be able to contribute? You would think it would help us in the portal, as transfers can ...

AV8RCAT

Everyone thinks Noah fivefeeta is the franchise, but Pac 12 isn't high school. I guess Fisch needs to get shotgun happy so this guy can see where to throw. In any case, I think we need a QB bridge and bringing in a one and done probably won't make him transfer. We owe Noah for recruiting this class ...

AV8RCAT

Slovis has the 2 years but he wants to have a good year and declare for the draft if possible. He is leaning to Pitt because his girlfriend goes there Fisch needs to sell him that a year in his pro-style offense is just what he needs to go high in the draft. Alas, we probably can't compete with a f...

AV8RCAT

That would be sprinkles on the icing on the cake. I can't but think the signing of a class like this puts us in a position to lure the best of whatever linemen are in the portal. I still worry about QB. McCloud and Cruz won't even be ready for spring ball. Cal just signed a transfer QB so they're ou...

Rivals has Luke going to AZ, 247 has him going to Louisville.
Perhaps this class will inspire him to join it.

Well? We're waiting.
Since Luke isn't expected to announce til January, I'm predicting Slovis.

AV8RCAT

If we can get Slovis, we absolutely should. McCloud's injury was ugly, just don't think we should count on him. I like Plummer, but business is business. Fifita shouldn't be expecting to start as a Freshman anyway

AV8RCAT

He is using his NFL experience to his advantage… that he knows what it takes and can help kids get to the next level. It (along with Noah) was a huge factor in McMillan’s decision and he said as much directly. All made possible by UO’s coaching change. There was a perfect storm, but Fisch & Co capi...

AV8RCAT

Now Jedd can concentrate on Slovis. He is the best option that won't alienate Fifita, whom we pretty much have to make the QB of the future now lol.

AV8RCAT

How in the world is Fisch convincing a class like this to sign after arguably the worst season in Div 1? I have this same question. Inquiring minds want to know. The answer is actually obvious. He has convinced them that something so special is happening here that they don't want to miss being a pa...

AV8RCAT

I'd say the cryptic tweets confirm that we can have nice stuff here. Incredible to sign such a class. If we get Slovis too, we can attract the best out of the portal. 100%. Not to get ahead of ourselves, but I’m confident we will see things that we have only read about in books regarding recruiting...

According to some dude at insideusc Slovis is looking at Cal, AZ and Nebraska. Fisch needs to promise him a good Oline

No word anywhere. Maybe he won't sign early after all.

AV8RCAT

If there was ever a situation where talented freshmen could contribute more than current starters.......... I do think we'll win a few games, but maybe not until conference play. If Fisch can land Slovis for a year that would be ideal, provided he can win the starting job. (likely) If not, with Fifi...
