So'oto just picked up a follow from Mitch Watkins / CU "Assistant AD/Senior Director of Development - Annual Fund" in addition to Lance Carl this morning/last night.
So'oto has also embraced the other job that comes with coaching at the college level -- recruiting.
"I love recruiting," he said. "It's a battle. You've got guys that have 20, 30 offers, and I see that as kind of being in the fire. I see that as a challenge."
"He has to be able to, which he is, attract and bring great young players, especially defensive linemen, to our program," Mendenhall said. "When this upcoming recruiting class is signed, I think you'll see that there's significant progress being made in that regard."
On Sunday, Indian River High School senior Ben Smiley announced on Twitter that he had committed to the Cavaliers. With Jowon Briggs of Ohio already in the 2019 class, Smiley gives UVA a pair of four-star defensive tackles who have committed to play for the Cavaliers -- and So'oto.
"Oh, it's like getting a sack when you're playing. There's nothing like it," So'oto said of winning a big recruiting 'battle.'
And for me it's really not recruiting, it's recruiting relationships," So'oto added. "Because at the end of the day, I'm jumping up and down for all of the guys because I love them. So when I find these guys out on the recruiting trail and create those relationships, you want them here and you want them to do well, especially if they're really good players."
Young and Poly. I will take it.Really young - don't know about his recruiting chops or coaching ability - can't find anything on his recruiting

Good thing he’s not the HC then.
Ya. He was a crap HC. He isn't going to be our HC.
I hate to break it to you but they.. uh.. they fired him. Shocking I know. They wanted their HC on a 6 game losing streak to get fired, weird. Don't check out other hashtags like #FireMelTucker, where you'll find Chicago fans who.. wanted Mel Tucker fired. There's even a few #FireJayJohnson tweets, cute.

It moved a little
He has the 7th ranked DT in the nation committed to UVA over an Alabama offer. It might move a lot if he can do that here.It moved a little
This video is just an example of the energy Drake brings to the team. He is inexperienced, but he’s going to be a good coach. I’m glad he is staying.
Sorry about that.You really B_walked that one
Getting highly rated kids to commit to the school they coach at instead of other schools.I hear a lot about wanting coaches that are good recruiters. What exactly defines someone as a “good” recruiter?

food for thought: lot of people don't remember this (least of all OU fans and Big Game Bob himself) but Mike Leach was not Bob Stoops' first choice to be OC on his Year One Sooner team. it was Kevin Reynolds, the Syracuse OC who coached Donovan McNabb (as I recall).....Reynolds took a job for Bob Davie at Notre Dame to coach Jarrius Jackson.....said No to Oklahoma.
I read an article about it.....in 1999....and I remember it.
given the way Mike Leach/Hal Mumme Spead Now We Call Air Raid has spread it's influence in football and all of Leach's Tech QB's calling plays for someone and Carousel hot commodity.....Kliff, Harrell, Riley, Cumbie etc....and particular the Texas HS footprint....changed a whole culture......never know, do you?
THIS.
We don't know how it is going to pan out so we might as well focus on the CU MBB team & chill out until spring football. We will not know until early signing day next year whether Tucker might be working out.
After the initial recount, my poll vote was correct!
I dunno, Kroll sure makes it seem like it is.CU ain't in Florida.
Why would he leave UVA for CU? Seems at best lateral right now, likely downgrade seeing he has 2 4* DT headed UVA way next year.

Seems officially official.
