What a surprise… a recruit tweeted that they're blessed about something.

6-18

I feel blessed that the girl at Dunkin Donuts got my order correct this morning. In this recruiting process there are things  we can control and things we can't. We need to take care of the things we can. But this I know is fact. If  the coaches want an easier time convincing a kid to sign with FAU, we MUST start winning games.

Arizona has the #11 rated class out of 12 in the PAC12. On the Wildcat site it says they flipped the former FIU commit because they have had a rash if DL de-commitments. Sounds like even the big boys can get desperate. The article says they are switching to a four man DL this season. This, at the same time they are experiencing a d-line commitment issue.  Maybe Nelson will see the field.

Gotta admit the SECOND I read he was offered and visiting Arizone, I knew he was gone. PAC12 or CUSA…..

Either he really is WAY better than we or the recruiting services thought or ANOTHER Power5 team is on the way down.

Hope he gets to see the field there if that is what he choses which seems obvious with the decommit.

C'mon Coaches, pull off some surprise signings WED.!

You were the only one on here who gave him any props when he committed to us.

Still think he looked good on film and can be good here, but in PAC12, not as a DE, OLB maybe. I hate to  see young men get buried on a BigBoy depth chart and never see the field in a game again. All for the false promises of a self centered coach. I see their (AZ) recruiting is poor this year but….

When you see BigBoys stealing 2*'s from smaller programs late (like UM from us last year - battling for Parr and taking King) you should know that thier staff is about done! See Golden!
Now the 2* will have to deal with new coaches and schemes and a coach who did not even recruit them trying to "change the culture ' - meaning talent not just attitude.

STICK WITH FAU Francisco!

That's what I mean, you were the only one on here who recognized his talent, and you were correct!

Well, it kinda was thought provoking. I said to myself, what the hell does he mean this time? Oh wait, that's CP's record over the last 2 seasons……

Well my post is a fact unlike any of your posts.
I know it's hard for you to understand facts since you tend to ignore them.

Nelson was only a two star because his grades were bad and many didn't know if he would clear.
