We need a CB and LB the most. All of this will be sorted out by June 3, when summer school classes begin.

Won't work, but I like the way it sounds. Air Raid had some success.
I see what you did there Merkster! Brilliant. Maybe this 4 star can right the RB ship.

LB is getting moved to RB? Big if true.

Did anyone see Scheer talking about Croskey-Merritt?

Apparently already on campus just waiting for school to start. He actually does have another season because during his first year at Alabama State he was sharing a jersey with another player, so he was under the max for a redshirt season. Very weird scenario.

And, of course, ESPN got it wrong. The problem was he was sharing his jersey with another RB. So people would look at the number and assume it was Jacory who was playing. There are tapes of the games and you could see Jacory on the sideline while someone else was wearing his jersey. We got really lucky. Our running back corp is at least at the same level as last season now. The position we need most now is CB. Not sure we will be able to fine a decent one in the portal now. We might have to move Stukes to CB, and play Genesis Smith as star.

I'm still curious to see how Kayden Luke's career goes. I'm thinking he's going to be a significant contributor at some point, maybe as a linebacker.

I'd guess he'll redshirt this year.

When I first read he had committed, I looked at his size and the videos on him. I doubt we see him much this year but he is certainly interesting. I have the same feelings about him that I did with Sean Poindexter, under the radar and under valued. He loves contact and does have a burst of speed. On one play I saw him "truck" a linebacker and a defensive back and then outran the rest of the secondary to the end zone. Yea a power bac in waiting for sure

Mike Luke says this is the best RB room in the conference. Does he even have a clue what other teams in the conference have? I mean he just said repeatedly that Arizona baseball is hosting a Super Regional. Seems like he has no idea that we're hosting a Regional- not a Super as of yet.

Dude really seems so often like he has no idea.

Well the only other running back I know in the big 12 is Ollie Gordon so I dunno, maybe we do have the best room thanks to depth?

Luke has zero idea about football. He was fired from radio for badmouthing players and works for a fake site. He’s also a well known Nebraska football fan. He makes grandiose statements and is wrong 95% of the time. He’s not real media.

This sounds like another dude that was around here for awhile. He was wrong time after time and badmouthed many players and coaches. Became known as a program cancer. If I recall, he went by the moniker of "Chief".

JCM has more production than the entire RB room for ASU last year, it’s Luke’s opinion. He may not be dead on, but he’s pretty close.

Yeah at least CO shits on the actual subject matter which makes his trolling entertaining, Ghost just brings up local media no matter the context. He even injected it into Ang's countdown for no reason at all.

I think you are talking about Chief aren't you Ghost? Better work on the identity thing a little more. First of all a lot of people were skeptical of Jedd when he got here. If you don't believe it look at the thread when he was hired. Folks were flexible enough to change their minds as they saw results. I don't think many saw him as being a man that sticks in one place.

I’m not allowed to answer that. A lot of people were not skeptical of Jedd. They bout into the DJ, footballs dropping from helicopters, and water guns at the spring game pretty quickly. Jedd conned so many people. That’s why there are still some people commenting on him. They got duped.

There is nothing wrong with putting butts in the stands. Dropping footballs from helicopters, water guns, turnover sword, were all fine because it got folks engaged and the program publicity. Certainly the players appeared to like it, the former players were recognized and became more involved with the program there is no downside there. As far as people on this site welcoming him, as you imply, as a savior is not support by any fact and is disputed by simply pulling up the thread.

I'm not sure if you are simply trying to get recognized as a soothsayer that saw what everyone else missed if so you got it. Is that the point? I told you so.

I don't even have to go back and look. I know exactly what I said since I keep saying it. No fired coaches, and no assistant coaches that have never been head coaches.

Stoops will never become a head coach again at the college level, and neither will Mackovic, Sumlin or RichRod.

Stick with a model that works for Arizona. Hire a successful head coach from a smaller program. Worked for football and basketball.

Tommy Lloyd excepted of course but he certainly could have become a head coach earlier.

Lol he makes it sound like the masses were clamoring for DJ Scooter. No one could stand that fuckin guy.

As far as all the gimmicks it doesn't matter about Jedd being a snake oil salesman, plenty of them were still good ideas to get the fan base involved.

Dropping footballs from helicopters, water guns, turnover sword, were all fine because it got folks engaged and the program publicity. Certainly the players appeared to like it, the former players were recognized and became more involved with the program there is no downside there. As far as people on this site welcoming him, as you imply, as a savior is not support by any fact and is disputed by simply pulling up the thread.

I'm not sure if you are simply trying to get recognized as a soothsayer that saw what everyone else missed if so you got it. Is that the point? I told you so.
He didn’t put butts in the stands. He lost to NAU. It engaged nothing. Soothsayer? I’m just a new poster. Robbins made a bad hire, effed the school financially and then fired Bozo Heeke for it. The media told us how awesome Robbins, Heeke, and Jedd were. If yall were the soothsayers, why are you posting links from media guys who were wrong? Isn’t that trolling? It’s super weird.

Stoops will never become a head coach again at the college level, and neither will Mackovic, Sumlin or RichRod.

Stick with a model that works for Arizona. Hire a successful head coach from a smaller program. Worked for football and basketball.

Tommy Lloyd excepted of course but he certainly could have become a head coach earlier.
We all said that, right? Well, maybe not our local media but everyone on this board, right? No model has actually worked in football. It has all failed. Who really failed was Robbins. Mr football know it all that screwed the pooch and blamed everyone else. He stole the student’s lunch money.

You are everything that is bad in this world. Not one positive statement. The bad hire restored some respect to our program but let’s ignore that
