I counted 26 seniors (http://www.thesundevils.com/sports/m-fo ... l-mtt.html) but either way, that is a ton of players to lose and just terrible class distribution. Also, that number doesn't include Burfict who is guaranteed to go pro. It would seem as though Dennis Erickson was setting this season up as a make or break it year and it blew up in his face. If he does get canned though, I don't think that the next coach is coming into an empty cupboard of talent. The next coach will have Osweiler at QB and Miles, Lewis, and Marshall at RB. I don't know enough about their roster to speak about the rest of the positions but returning your QB and 3 pretty good RB's isn't a completely bare cupboard, so to speak...assuming none of those guys go pro in response to the change of coach.cmmadness wrote:They're also losing 30 scholarship seniors.

Re: DJ Foster
At this point, I don't think Foster is coming. His season is over now, so if he doesn't commit in the next week, I think he'll end up elsewhere. Apparently, Arizona is after him now and USC is trying to get back into it. USC has a few WR's wavering (Jaydon Mickens, Darreus Rogers) thus the interest/potentially open scholarships. Foster would probably play RB at USC and I think that's his preferred position. Would much rather see him end up at ASU than at USC.
“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”

Re: DJ Foster
Foster's coach is a big USC fan as well, so I wouldn't be surprised. It's almost nauseating to listen to his coach talk about USC...

Re: DJ Foster
He's obviously waiting to see who the next ASU coach is. My guess, if he likes the hire he'll be ASU. If he doesn't click he'll likely be ours.

Re: DJ Foster
It's not really that official. It was more of a jump to conclusion statement from a writer rather than something Foster actually said...

Re: DJ Foster
Yup. Very poorly worded by rivals. They were alluding to the fact that he was going to commit to ASU before the team completely collapsed and rumors started to surface about Erickson being fired.TheMaehlMan wrote:It's not really that official.

At this point, I don't expect him to end up at Oregon though.

Re: DJ Foster
I just hope he doesn't end up at USC, but it wouldn't surprise me. Then again, there's no guarantee that he'll even be successful at the next level. Look at Dillon Baxter. He was suppose to be a great talent, but he's not even in school anymore and didn't do much while he was.uostudent wrote:Yup. Very poorly worded by rivals.

We'll find out soon enough. Besides, we've still got a great set of skill position players. I'd love to have him, but if not - cya!
