College Football Recruiting: Looking To Next Season

I know I'm bias, but if you want to talk about a pretty good coach, go look at what Mike Stoops has done. Built the Arizona program back from being complete shit, and done it with a lot of 2 and 3 star recruits as well. If Arizona's facilities weren't shit, they might have a chance at more 4 and 5 star guys (and looking at what Stoops has done with some of the 2 and 3 stars, that could be pretty scary thing).

That's actually not a bad observation. I'm not too privy on PAC-10 football let alone Arizona football, but from what I've seen and heard, he's done well for himself at Zona.

So we had to recover from that and went out and found a pretty decent prospect who committed then decided to play LSU baseball instead.

Considering we've gone every year after our last title in 2007 with below average talent at the QB position (and even starting freshman on a consistent basis) and a shitty O-coordinator, I'm gonna cut LSU and Miles some slack especially considering what they've done with NOTHING at the QB position.

Saban is better at actually coaching positions and such, but I think miles is a better figurehead and is better on the recruiting trail. Both are good coaches with different styles and approaches.

If Mettenberger is half as good as everyone says he is, LSU is gonna be in the SEC Title Game this year. Hell, if he's just "decent" we will be fine. I don't generally make such bold predictions, but the past has shown if we have decent talent at the QB position, LSU is hard to beat.

Great Points

he has, I'm surprised though people want to go play at Arizona Stadium, place makes Sun Devil Stadium look state-of-the-art
