Recruiting

[AZCB34]

Well, I will give Herm credit for one thing - so far, his recruiting seems to be on point. As for sticking with Manny, I'm not as enthusiastic about that.

Manny got benefit of doubt in spring ball. Barnett and White, in the eyes of the coaches, couldn't winthe job. Both guys are having success at non Power 5 schools. Big deal. Neither guy will play on Sundays...same as Manny. This year is a transition year.

I am not giving Herm a free pass on the QB situation this season but I am also not vilifying him for it either.

ASU gets a 3-star DE commit, Alonzo Hall. There were 70 kids either on both official and unofficial visits from various classes at the UCLA game including Noa Pola Gates, the #3 recruit in the state who is a huge ALA lean.

Asu has 9 QBs heading into next season?!?

Asu has 9 QBs heading into next season?!?

I think it's 7. DSC & Kelley and two others on current roster and 3 incoming. I think they lose the Yellen kid after Daniels commitment and I hope Kelley doesn't transfer as he is the better of the two between him and Sterling-Cole, maybe Sterling-Cole can play WR.

I think it’s 7. And with this latest commit, ASU is now ranked #1 in the nation for 2019 QB recruits! Supposedly Herm and Pierce were crucial in landing these guys!

 

[AZCB34]

Good news but until national signing day there has nothing binding about it.

Guess I’ll stick this here... This is a massive pick-up by Herm! Aguano is a true legend here in the Valley and will absolutely have a positive impact in recruiting the incredible talent here in the Phoenix area!

I wonder if ASU can add Jason Mohns to their staff as well, really need to tap into the Saguaro pipeline.

Well this is an interesting commit!

Sounds like a project player. Coach him up! You can't coach size.

6'10 280 OT. Didn't know they played American football in Germany.

Yes, and actually it’s becoming more popular. Lots of good players in Germany.

Nice pick up from the great football state of Georgia!

High Praise!

Herm Edwards-led ASU football a ‘sleeping giant,’ says ESPN’s Riddick

Number one, it has a head coach in Herm Edwards who has captivated and fascinated. Secondly, the program has a freshman quarterback in Jayden Daniels, who has held his own through five games. Third, it has a wealth of staff members with significant NFL experience. And it doesn’t hurt that ASU plays in sunny Tempe, Ariz.
“By the time those new freshman classes come in over the next two years, the guys they have right now that are spectacular like a Jayden Daniels — those guys get older and mature and get physically stronger — you support them with some more 3-, 4-, 5-star players, the Pac-12 better look out, man. ‘Cause they’ve got a whale of a coaching staff.”

They’ve been a “sleeping giant” for as far back as when we move to az (1975).

It helps that these kids see ASU starting and playing all these true freshmen and having success doing so. Encourages some of these kids to consider ASU in a different light. Then they see the NFL pedigree of the coaching staff and that checks another box.

When you look at the list of schools after this kid, ASU would have always been an afterthought if they were even considered in the first place.

It appears that the giant may be slowly waking up. Still pretty drowsy, but waking up nonetheless.

With ASU football I’ll always be a “show me” guy. They’ve pulled a Lucy on me too many times in this regard.

Hopefully the Sun Devils are building something great and enduring in Tempe.

Yep, gotta make it happen on the field. Hopefully these 4 star recruits will help.

Yup... there has been a season during every one of the last four coaching tenures (Snyder, Koetter, Erickson, Graham) where I thought they were finally "waking up"... only to come to the realization they were eventually going to recede to the same mediocrity that has plagued the program since John Cooper left.
