Tosh Lupoi is da Berz , WAS da Berz demon recruiter. The man had the gift of relating and recruiting, and as a former DL had cred. Now headed for a similar position (more money though) at UDub. Bring a bucket to sop up the blood from the mass suicide on Bear Insider.  They are already handicapping the decommit odds. Their star recruit Shaq Thompson tweeting he is reconsidering.
There could be short term gain in this with Azziz Shittu and Arizona safety Zach Hoffpuir. (maybe. He took his official to Stanford this weekend but was giving off still-committed signals prior to the Lupoi defection. OTOH, in the long run, I'd have rather seen him going out of conference. Arguably this strengthens UDub's defense. Also long run; what kind of black eye is it for the program and for the UC system's highest paid employee that maybe his biggest asset left his alma mater-- a lateral move, not a promotion-- to play for a rival?Â
