To be fair, he did land us Ishaq. However, he hasn't developed him.

But that's the last recruit I remember him landing.

He sealed the deal on Ishaq, but he wasn't the only one recruiting him. And, like you said, besides that story what other recruit can we really attribute solely or mostly to Diaco?

I think LB recruiting will see improvement now that Diaco is gone. I freaking love the guy, and think he is a very good coach, but honestly he just wasn't a good recruiter. Period.

Yeah. Since he left I have heard people saying that he really never liked recruiting. At least he's generally above the daily grind of recruiting as a head coach now.

Yeah I don't think he liked the daily grind of it, but he could be a great closer, which is pretty much all a HC really needs to be with a good staff in place.

Parker Westphal to NorthWestern. Good for the Cats! I wonder if Michigan cooled on him.

St. John Bosco (Rosen, Mama, Wadood etc) beat De La Salle tonight for the state championship. Bosco went 16 - 0 and ruined DLS' 67 game win streak (4 straight state titles) vs Cali opponents.

All good things must end. Sounds like they had a really good thing. It ended, congrats De La Salle. Really big win.

But granted, I've heard De La Salle has had their own success.

Answers my questions. Sounds like a lot of good football between these two schools. Who was better, prospect? Did you see anyone of note play?

I was at the game and Rosen is a flat out stud. Next year will be fun between Rosen and Barnett in Southern California. Bosco has sophomore running back Sean Mcgrew who is really really good and should blow up pretty soon. Wadood who is committed to UCLA had two touchdowns. Shay Fields a SC commit did not do anything too big. Overall it was hell of a game between two great schools. DLS runs the option and almost came back. I don't know anything really about them as I follow Bosco. DLS shut them down for the most part but mostly because of holding calls. DLS did have some great D Linemen though. I have said it once on here but I will say it again Damien Mama is HUGE. Whoever gets him is getting a great linemen and I think ready to play right away.

There is a rumor that Speedy Noil is now going to pick TAMU and his high school teammate Gerald Willis (5 :s: DT) is going to be picking Florida. Could have just been floated out there to throw everyone off though as they are both expected to pick LSU.

Would be good if they picked the other schools. Spread out the talent.

Also, if you think our situation with Luatua is hard to deal with, try being a Florida fan. Dalvin Cook and Ermon Lane are both committed to UF but Cook is "announcing" a the UA game and Lane only has one OV scheduled, to FSU. They are attached at the hip and Lane will do whatever Cook tells him. I would very much like them to stick with Florida because you know, we have to play FSU next year.

The Sppedy Noil situation is straight out of the Landon Collins and Alex Collins story book. Kid wants to go to A&M and his mom and grandma are adamant about him going to LSU.

He'll be announcing at practice to tonight or tomorrow actually. Heard UA/ESPN didn't want him announcing at the game since he is already committed

Now some of these other schools fans can share in our past misery.

Florida are going to try and replace Dalvin Cook with Jeff Jones.

Could be an ugly run to NSD for them. Wins are the greatest recruiter.
