I don't know that anyone on this board has been noticing, but U-Dub had been losing some of their recruits to UCLA after Mora took over and hired away the DB coach, who had been a key recruiter for Sarkisian. Now Sark responds by poaching Lupoi, who will no doubt bring along some of his recruits from School near Oakland. This is verrry interesting, and as everyone had noted, shoud put us in good position with Shittu. Also, I would think if Kaumatule gets admitted that School near Oakland will not be as much of a threat with Lupoi gone.
the UC system's highest paid employee has had trouble fielding a really quality team in the last few years, even while being propped up by the recruiting skills of Lupoi, and he rates as one of the best recruiters in the country. He better nab another ace recruiter from someone else.
Q: does this effect Matt Cochran and his thinking about Stanford? My sense is the ship may have sailed for him at Stanford, with all of the high quality linemen already committed or (fingers crossed) commiting in the next couple of weeks. Don't know how serious Cochran was about us anyway.
