Who will be there??
SaQwan Edwards, WR, though not highly touted just yet... Would be a HUGE pick up!
Just saying...
(Plus... He's a no-star right now, so he should get a good shot at playing early).
Can we really be calling for a coaching change and also interested in who is visiting in the same season? It doesn't matter.... Few will stick we wholesale change. If Hawkins goes, no more than 1-2 assistants would be back if any.
For Mizzou game, these four are listed. May not be all.
Chidera Uzo-Diribe DE
Nick Hirschman QB
Evan Paleilei OL
SaQwan Edwards WR
If you believe headlines on a premium site ...
Add Paul Jones to this list. ***QB, currently Penn State commit.
...wow...how the hell did we get Paul Jones to come visit? That's rather amazing and comes from left field, at least to me. It'd be great if we landed him, but at the same time, I'm satisfied with Hirschman.
suspected the coaching thing, but damn, what do you mean by suspect recruiting? :wow:Paul Jones is set to come visit. That being said, he is a Hagan recruit. Hagan would be the first assistant to go in the off season if they gut the staff. He may be a buff but is a terrible coach, the kids don't like him and his recruiting is suspect. I have held this back for a long time but feel now is as good as any to let it out.
EDIT: This has been echoed by many in and around the program. Not opinion, but fact.
Adam does a great job at rivals...as does SD with the board but...Being the lead on a recruit and closing him are 2 totally different things. The last 3 years the only recruits he should get any credit for at all are: Josh Smith, Rodney Stewart and Dejia. You cannot give him any real credit for Scott. Also, what you cant read is the number of guys he is on that we lose. 4 last year. 2 of them are playing as true frosh elsewhere.
I wont but can name 4 guys on the staff who are far better recruiters. Lastly, to give him some credit, he is going into to the midwest, mainly Ohio and making some inroads. But that would need to last for some time to make it worth it.
Great info. Thanks.
My impression of the rest of the staff when it comes to recruiting:
Hawkins: Excellent
Kiesau: Excellent
Riddle: Excellent
Cabral: Excellent
Johnson: Good (but too early to tell for sure)
Brown: Good (but seems to be hit or miss with evaluations)
Bandison: Poor (but seems to be more active / improving)
Collins: Poor (would rather not have to recruit at all)
Foster: N/A (recruiting not part of his job description)
I would have put Hagan in between Cabral and Johnson on the edge of Good/Excellent.

“I think it’s down to Texas and Colorado, and when he announces it, it won’t be a big surprise,” said Sonsini. “Those two schools are what he really likes. It’s kind of hard to choose between Coach (Dan) Hawkins and Coach (Mack) Brown.”
On Sunday, Colorado had their final in-home with Scott.
“It was positive and a good meeting. The coaches are dynamic men and dynamic coaches. He really enjoyed Coach (Darian) Hagan,” said [St. Bonaventure recruiting coordinator] Sonsini.
doesnt look like hes coming.
