Curious...
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

We need OLineman and while you might poo poo it, who are picking up in his place? Our line might be the biggest question going forward. Gunnel is a stiff in the pocket

One of the pundits posted last night that the UA now has the 12th ranked class.

In the PAC-12.

And Machina wants us to throw our hard earned money after a program that doesn't even care, and isn't even trying?

All Sumlin sees is that $7,500,000 check if he gets fired next season. Getting that $10,000,000 check from aTm was actually quite easy.

When an AD makes a major hire, he damn well better have the key boosters on board. Why on earth would anyone want to spend money on tickets knowing that we have minimal talent and retread assistants and an overpaid head coach at the helm? Four wins looks like the ceiling for next year. And with recruiting going so swimmingly, we’re looking at 3-4 years of rebuilding after Sumlin is gone. And that’s the best case scenario.

Looks like we added 3* CB Edric Whitley 5’11” 170 TX. Ranked as high as the guy we lost. So the sky isn’t falling on that one.

Sid transfers his flag from JJ to Brown. He is a good one for sure. Fast and powerful. We need to see a lot of improvement on the O Line though. Coach Devan has his work cut out

I’m freaking planting that JJ flag on Frank the tank brother! I’m hopeful regarding the O Line as I think Gunnel could be very special. Just glad the QB shitshow is finally over and we can now move on from that toxic situation.

I honestly think you’ll see Frank in the slot with his speed and catching abilities. Looks to be a solid contender for our return guy as well.

Heard good things about Jalen John too. I think with the edition of John to our current roster of RB’s that position will once again be a position of power. Just need the O Line to show up and stay healthy

I really like our new JJ(see who I did there Sid). He and Brown are definitely a change of pace. I want to see more Sumlin’s recruits on the field. Only way we can tell if this gamble is working

It actually looks like people are being pretty positive considering our recruiting class isn't ranked that high. I honestly don't know what they use to rank the classes. I assume they assign some point value based on stars and add the points somehow. I think there is a lot to be postive about. RichRod was competing against mountain west and big sky schools for recruits. If you look at the offer list of a lot of the kids we got, they were being wooed by a lot of Power 5 schools. We beat out Oregon and Oregon State and Utah and Nebraska and USC and ASU for number of these kids. Time will tell, huh?

Yep, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Michigan State to just add a few more...

The QB situation was a complete nightmare and what I believe crippled our season. Yes, we had other issues, but I’m liking everything I’m hearing about Rhoads and if he can inspire & coach up this defense we might actually have a legitimate shot at a minor bowl. I like what we have at QB, absolutely love the next “JJ” Frank the tank, fucking ecstatic to have a high school friend being able to now watch both his sons play on the same team. That’s a huge plus by the way! I think Gunnel is going to absolutely light it up next season. WR’s were all young, they will be better next season & we only lose (1) O-lineman. Perhaps, we have a some diamonds in the JC ranks in the works to fill a few voids and we go on & prove everyone wrong?

Rather have a winning season and having prized recruits taking notice than the alternative. I don’t want to start all over again, I really don’t!

Normally I'd be the last guy to disagree with expert's ratings on recruitment. But it sure seems like this class could legitimately be a little underrated.

Plummer seems like he could be a very good QB.

Also, Jalen J. looks to me to have an awfully high ceiling.

Wondered the same thing. Should be released from his letter of commitment if he desires to go elsewhere...
