Yeah, Donte has been all over the country. I bet he gets promoted to co-DC/DB coach if Hayward leaves.

I love recruiting, but this is such a weird thing when you take a step back. Highly paid and motivated grown men building relationships with, and manipulating, high school students for their own personal gain. Sometimes it's best not to overthink it.
I could see Bouknight being someone that Arroyo could poach. Young assistant who isn't as highly paid as our others.
It looks like the following coaches have been out hitting the recruiting trail: Avalos, Big Joe, Mastro, Mirabal, Bobby Williams, Ken Wilson, and Keith Heyward.
I noticed Heyward was with Bennett Williams in that picture, so that may be a good sign.
Has Donte Williams been seen? Maybe Arroyo was able to afford to bring him to UNLV with a promotion to DC?
We've seen Donte visiting multiple guys yet Heyward hasn't been seen much outside of that Bennett Williams visit. Bouknight is another no-show so far on the recruiting trail so it seems he may be on his way out as well.

Thanks for the updates on Donte, I haven't been paying too much attention so it's great to know our recruiting ace is still out there.
I guess the next big thing is finding a replacement OC, hopefully before the signing period. If Bouknight goes that would allow the new OC to bring one of his guys.

I doubt it happens before the early signing period. Cristobal liked to interview as many guys as possible and makes sure he has the right guy.

I dont think Coach Bo goes. You dont go from Oregon to UNLV unless you get a promotion and i dont think he’s an OC

Losing Donte to UNLV would hurt big time. He has proven to be an elite recruiter and a great on field coach as well. I think he is probably more important than both Heyward and Big Joe as top position coaches on our staff.

I read that Arroyo to UNLV wasn't a done deal and that the 2 sides seemed "far apart". It was since said that LSU's OC has entered the mix as a candidate.

UNLV officially announced Arroyo as their coach this morning.

Wow! Things change quickly. I stand corrected.
I hope MC has a stud OC/Recruiter in line to replace him with.

Johnny Wilson and Miles Slusher are not looking like commitments at this point. Bummer!
Good thing we have good depth at both positions, but still never cool to lose dudes, especially top 150 recruits.

I’m wondering if Slusher is more reflective of getting both Manning and Ringo?

I've noticed that Kris Hutson has little to no Duck stuff on his Twitter account either.

Think I'm just gonna stop following recruiting. A commit is no longer a commit. Hell, even signing the LOI is no guarantee
