They are just taking their time to offer the right guys, does seem like this year has been slower though. Starting to pick up now that the coaches are out evaluating players in Washington, Arizona, Cali, Oregon etc.AZGrizFan said:AZGrizFan said:
So, two days ago I post that I'm concerned this is going slower than normal and suddenly SEVEN offers announced in the last two days???
Coincidence? I think not.... :lol:
Wanna take bets on how many of the latest offers sign? These seem like the type of one's where you hope to luck out but in reality the FBS offers they have will on most occasions win out. I think some of the "unknown" offers are of kids who are more likely to sign. Glad the new signing period rule will weed out the guys who are stringing us along so coaches can offer others who will sign

I don't see the early period making a huge difference with these type of players. The borderline FBS/FCS guys will still hold out as long as possible waiting for that FBS offer.

The ones I am talking about already have FBS offers not just waiting. Seems that Stoner was one this year that committed early while having a FBS offer on the table.....others strung along and went FBS leaving areas of need (DB RB) in a pickle.

I think you have to over offer all of these Borderline FBS guys then get them out for a visit in the fall during a game. I think that helps a lot.
Also Stoner is a great example. San Jose State had a coaching change which helped us immensely. These kids commit then the coach gets fired gives us a shot. The most frustrating head to head battles we've had so far are with Hawaii and Air Force. If a coaching change happens there like Calhoun gets a different job then that may open up even more recruits.

Do you remember how the Griz got Rey Green Ursus1?

You misread my intentions, ursus. Unlike you, I'm not a "sky is falling, ship is sinking" guy. I have ZERO problem offering these kids--just pointing out who we're up against. There are countless examples of guys coming here instead of an FBS program, for any number of reasons. Might be a long shot, but sometimes those pay off. Not sure why you're suddenly so down on a process that has been employed by hundreds of lower level coaches for years and years. Maybe it's your stitt hatred.... :roll: :roll:

Haha it's sort of comical these over reactions. Stitt's strategy is in wait and see mode. I like the talent he's brought in and vision so far so we'll see if it works out. Recruiting will work if we win, it'll work at this level with our facilities. I'm going to coin the Philly phrase and trust the process. We need to offer these kids whether we get them or not initially it opens doors in the future. Do we get burned? Yes sometimes we do but that's the recruiting game. Rather offer than don't.
