Title: UA Lands 5-star Cornerback
Post by: Mike P in Tucson on January 02, 2014, 05:31:15 pm
RichRod getting it done!!  Jalen Tabor just committed to Arizona, after narrowing his choices down to Alabama and Arizona.  Big coup, beating out Alabama for a player.  Arizona may have the PAC-12's best recruiting class with this acquisition.

That's impressive to beat out Alabama. Rivals.com's current recruiting rankings have UA @#16, ASU @ #19, Oregon @ #26, Stanford @ #28, USC @ #38 and UCLA @ #39.

Well, that was short-lived.  Word is that he decommitted and committed to Florida.  Apparently his mother didn't want him to go to AZ and badgered him to go someplace closer.  Funny that it would be Florida, because that school was always thought to be #4 on his list. :mad:

Well, on the bright side, we are getting another HUGE offensive lineman, a transfer from Cal.  He has been released, so will only have to sit out one year.

Tagaloa, a 6-foot-8, 330-pounder from Richmond, was rated by Athlon as the fifth-best prospect in the same Cal recruiting class that brought Kline to Berkeley.

So that will be two 6'8", 330+ pound offensive linemen.

The Cardinals should be so lucky.
