here ya go! keep it going

Who do you all think will be behind center this year?

Kahlil McKenzie just tweeted it's down to Arizona and Tennessee. Announcing July 10th.

On to the next one.

Love it! Glad to have you Chief!

Chief, you think it's Zona?

Why not Arizona?

Nice forum, thanks

chiefzona wrote:On to the next one.

If Chiefs here then I have to be here. Somebody has to stand up for the Cats D.

So we think we have reeled in McKenzie? Thought he wanted to take visits though?

Ah, DC....can't I just talk crap about the 3-3-5 and Casteel with no fight back. Man, I'm gonna have to start my own blog or something. Lol.

mckenzie would be fantastic...a top 5 d tackle in the nation recruit? top 100 recruit overall? that would be amazing for us down the road in like 2016-2018 on the line.

If McKenzie picks us, is that our highest rated recruit ever?

louis holmes!

I believe he would be the top recruit we've ever had. He should be a 5 star. He is Rasheem Green status.

Chief you must be liking our odds with this kid. Why not Arizona? Of course lot of time to signing day in February thats for sure

azcat49, can you tell us a little about the S&C comment from the other board.

Is the thing that you're hearing potentially rise to the level of being a crime or is it something bad but in a different direction?

gronk4heisman wrote:If McKenzie picks us, is that our highest rated recruit ever?

The guys at Scout are debating him as a #1 overall, so I would say yes.

Matt Dudek just Tweeted this: SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH hahaha


Interesting.

I'm gonna get myself in trouble.

hearing Griffin from 2014 class is putting full court press on McKenzie to play with him, he may have too much Orange in his veins though

Twitter says Arizona offered Calvary Baptist CB Shun Brown.

I like this new board a lot but as U of A recruiting fanatics, we already have such a small online presence and I really hate that now it's fractured even further If there's one good thing I could ever think about assu it's that they all post on one site. Now we have to check 247, scout, rivals, and here...ugh

no reason to check rivals...it's dead.

only thing you need to do is post here and get a premium subscription on scout. done deal.

Well, I can't miss out on all the fun. Someone's gotta tell Chief that Scroggins isn't starting

Have not posted anywhere in years, but this may be a good place to bounce back?
I know the consensus is that McKenzie is headed to UT, but this has that Tabor feel to it.
He could very well be a Wildcat commit, but keeping him will not be easy!

Did anyone else see this? Great interview with Matty Dudek...

Are you willing to bet on that?

I was going to say the same thing. HOWEVER, if I remember correctly, wasn't Tabor's announcement pretty much a surprise to his mom? So I can see her putting huge pressure on him from the day he announced to signing day.

This feels a bit different because, well for one he's making his decision very public. Every time he cuts it down, he announces it on Twitter. With Tabor, he felt more like a ninja, throwing up smoke screens.

I don't know how it could've been much of a surprise to his mother when days before he announced he publicly narrowed it down to Arizona & Alabama and they only bought an Arizona hat for the day he announced it on live television.

Ah... maybe I got it wrong then.

He posts so much Tennessee stuff.

Chief has it at 60/40. Where do you think it's at?

Matty D seems confident and we have a month so I'll say 45/55.

Tennessee fans post so much stuff to him.

He will be on ESPN Tucson today @ 4. 1490 I believe the station is. Zach Clark show.

Now that I have a better grasp of what the in state recruiting class looks like I put together a completely subjective opinion of the top recruits from Arizona from the last two years. I think this year's class is about normal(maybe a little less star power)as far as depth goes but this comparison shows how truly amazing last year's Arizona class really was. I put more emphasis on OL/DL/LB/S/DB over RB/WR/TE/QB

State ranking given by me/Name/Star ranking given by me

2015
1) Keenan Walker 4/5
2) Cassius Peat 4/5
3) Christian Kirk 4/5
4) Brian Lewerke 4
5) Paul Lucas 4
6) Dedrick Young 3/4
7) Cade Cote 3/4
8) Caleb Peart 3
9) Steven Miller 3
10) Bryce Perkins 3

2014
1) Casey Tucker 5
2) Qualen Cunningham 4/5
3) Kyle Allen 4/5
4) Jalen Brown 4/5
5) Cameron Denson 4/5
6) Mark Andrews 4/5
7) Trevor Wood 4/5
8) Tee Whiley 4/5
9) Natrell Curtis 4
10) Ismael Murphy Richardson 4
11) Layth Freikh 3/4
12) Andrew Mike 3/4
13) Austin Hall 3
14) Quinn Bailey 3
15) Luke Rubenzer 3

Basically last year had a little less than double the 3.5 star or better talent. Glad we did well with AZ last year and stopped the bleeding and hoping we can continue to build off the momentum of Keenan Walker. Kirk and Peat aren't giving us a look and not really sure about Lucas, but would love to snag Young, Cote and Peart. Hopefully at least get in the picture with Lucas.

Very true!
Good point.....
But as mentioned, Florida was not even on the table.
I blieve it was the insecurity of the coaching situtation at Florida that steered him away fro, there initially. It he had choosen Alabama this would not have happened! Arizona was not good enough for mama, and perhaps too far away?

I don't know, man. Denker is out of eligibility so I've lost my secret weapon!

Ha! If that was your secret weapon I'd hate to see your non-secret one.

Sheriron jones to Florida. Another QB off the board.

Ok, so I know we really wanted Jones, who's next on the list?

TuiTouchdown wrote:Ok, so I know we really wanted Jones, who's next on the list?

That's a question that can't be answered at the moment. We could go balls to the wall and try to get Waller on campus, but that's a long shot. I really really like Waller as most of you know. Dalton Sneed is a kid that may get a look

Why is RR having such a hard time getting a top QB recruit? Well, maybe Anu turns everything on and everything will be good but I don't like not having a future backup plan. If we can keep Shea Patterson that would probably all change, but 2016 class is really far away.

Kendall Williams juco Rb just committed.

jollything wrote:Kendall Williams juco Rb just committed.

The RBs we have on campus must be god awful.

I didn't want to believe Chief when he warned about the RB situation but can't avoid it now. It helps to hear him talk about all the ways we'll use Davonte though (in the other thread).
