And a different high 4* DL from Georgia got three USC picks yesterday. Very odd.

That is a fun read. Antonio Pierce is fucked.

This also underscores some of the danger in developing an aggressive recruiting strategy overnight. Tenured folks get butthurt and self-report. Their whole class will be up for grabs as most of the coaching staff won't survive this. 

Also, Herman is absolutely going to push for and get that job.

The article

Spoiler

TEMPE, Ariz. — The NCAA is investigating whether the Arizona State football program hosted high school prospects during the recent COVID-19 dead period, and possibly other recruiting violations, The Athletic has learned.

Per sources, the school’s athletic compliance office recently received a packet filled with detailed information on high school prospects who visited during the COVID-19 dead period. Not much later, compliance officials started interviewing staff members. A former athletic department employee said some people in the football offices are concerned about losing their jobs.

“ASU can confirm the NCAA is conducting an investigation regarding allegations related to our football program,” Arizona State vice president of media relations and strategic communications Katie Paquet said in a statement to The Athletic. “In accordance with NCAA bylaws, the university cannot provide further comment at this time.”

It’s unknown how many prospects Arizona State is alleged to have entertained during the COVID-19 period. Sources told The Athletic that coaches were “hiding” recruits in a suite during a home game last season at Sun Devil Stadium. A former coach said he once ran into two recruiting assistants bringing a recruit up the back stairs of the program’s football facility to meet head coach Herm Edwards. (The recruit committed and ultimately signed with Arizona State.)

Per one source, a staffer later pointed out the hallway cameras in the football facility would have video of recruits, if anyone ever bothered to check. He was ignored.

In March 2020, the NCAA halted in-person recruiting for 15 months because of the pandemic. Although play resumed on the field, coaching staffs were forced to communicate with recruits through video calls and other electronic means. Arizona State’s recruiting expenses reflect the cutback. In calendar year 2019, the football program spent $597,450 on recruiting, according to information The Athletic received through a public-records request. Last year, it spent $314,977.

The allegations are a bad look for a program that had its season shut down for nearly a month last year because of COVID-19 issues. Half the coaching staff, including Edwards, tested positive. The Sun Devils played only four games, finishing 2-2. On Zoom sessions with reporters, Edwards urged fans to take the virus seriously. With coaches and players exhausted at season’s end, the program removed itself from bowl consideration.

One thing still unknown is the full extent of Edwards’ involvement. Although he coaches in practice, Edwards has adopted a “CEO” face-of-the-program role for most of the past three-plus years. He leans heavily on Antonio Pierce, who has been considered a rising star and possibly the program’s next head coach. Pierce’s job titles include associate head coach, recruiting coordinator and defensive coordinator, but more than anything, he drives Arizona State recruiting.

A former NFL linebacker and head coach at Long Beach Poly High, Pierce arrived with strong Southern California high school connections. In 2020 one coworker described his recruiting efforts as “tireless and enthusiastic.” Behind this drive, the Sun Devils have established themselves more on the national recruiting landscape, reaching outside the traditional Pac-12 footprint. In 2019, they had the nation’s No. 28 recruiting class, per the 247Sports Composite. The next year, they were 23rd.

Asked if Edwards would be aware of potential recruiting misdeeds, one former athletic department staffer responded without hesitation, “No way.” Another said Edwards is more of a “closer” in recruiting, similar to many head coaches. But not everyone agrees. Multiple sources said Edwards is smart enough to understand that some things he’s better off not knowing. One said he still probably is “90 percent aware” of what goes on with recruiting.

A former ASU staffer described the way the football program is being run as “a rogue culture” and said it’s been built on “a house of cards.”

In April, the NCAA announced that all Division I sports could return to their regular recruiting schedules June 1, business as usual. This month, Arizona State football has hosted both in-state and out-of-state prospects on official and unofficial visits. The Sun Devils have four high school prospects committed to their 2022 class but are in contention for top prospects across the country.

Ohio St seemingly is making a big push for Kojo Antwi, so Samson may be SOL and have to settle for a cancerous offense for WRs in Nebraska.

He should choose a really good G5 spot instead - esp with the changes to the playoff - UCF, Boise, USM, USA, UL-Napier etc…

From the outside looking in you never know what Bama will do at the end of the day with their class; they frequently drop long time commits, they recruit so many prospects like they're priorities that it's difficult to get a read on their big board, no one has a good idea on potential class size, etc. But Little seems to either be a silent or a lock, and I haven't seen any indication that he won't end up in the class
