    DC was a worthless OL coach when he was here so I could see him and Mawae being close

    Yep, all the losers that couldn’t hack APs intense recruiting demands are sniping back like little bitches. Unfortunately it seems he was a little too brazen in the rule breaking ha

    This is where it helps that Herm has a bunch of former co workers in the media to stick up for him

    Also it’s not Herm’s fault he coaches in a conference with dorks like Jedd Fisch and David Shaw. They can’t handle that drip.

    And even if AP is behind all the cheating, Herm was either complicit, or he lost institutional control, which is worse for him.

    Herm happily ceded a lot of the day-to-day stuff to AP, so, yeah, he knew. Because there’s no way his boy Mawae went quietly, Herm made a value choice. Will be interesting to see if his friends in the media try to protect him at the expense of throwing Pierce under the bus.

    Tiger or not, we have a standard of integrity to uphold and couldn't be tainted by Kevin's association with the morally bereft Sun Devil program

    As an ASU fan, I would be worried that Pierce was using this time to audition for a slot on Oregeron’s staff.

    Honestly been wondering for years when one of the SEC big boys would come calling, his whole style screamed West Coast flavor but SEC worthy. Dan Mullen could sure use some swagger and some better recruits…

    ASU seems like the right school to get absolutely hammered by the NCAA so they can point their finger back for the next 5-10 years and say “see, we do stuff about violations.”

    I mean, Arizona State hired an assistant recruiting coordinator from an in-conference foe as a position coach (despite no P5 experience at that) in exchange for the game plan against said foe.

    Oregon fans believe Gill sold the playbook or some shit before the Oregon-ASU game that year, letting them off the hook for choking against a 5-5 ASU team that had lost 3 in a row.

    Like, an offensive off field assistant knew enough to make sure ASUs offense eviscerated Oregon’s defense with a true Frosh QB.

    It’s fully insane to think a 5-5 team cared enough to buy a random coach and that he had enough to sink that team later. When the explanation is simpler, Gill brought a top recruit with him(Johnny Wilson).

    Harry was gone, it was Aiyuk and Frank Darby that kept getting beating man coverage deep. Including the clincher on 3rd and 13 where Aiyuk left Lenoir and his jock 10 yards in his rear view

    A week or so before the Oregon/ASU game that year people within the Oregon AD were worried about their assistant recruiting coordinator, Prentice Gil, getting poached, but not in a lateral move but one like three steps up the ladder from where he was at. Very odd. A week later ASU’s defense seemed to correctly diagnose nearly every play against Oregon’s O in the first half. Not just routine plays but obscure ones too. 10 days later Prentice Gil was officially hired by Herm to be their WR coach, despite no qualifications.

    That’s the message board storyline at least.

    More stuff

    Sources told The Athletic that Arizona State covered some prospects’ transportation and lodging during these visits; one said the process was often carried out through a third party and that this was done mostly with elite prospects. Per NCAA rules, an unofficial visit to a Division I program has to be financed by the prospect or his parents or guardian.

    The Athletic first reported Wednesday that the NCAA is investigating whether the football program hosted recruits during the 15-month COVID-19 non-contact period. The probe could stretch into other areas that would reveal broader violations within the program. Said one former staffer when details of the allegations began to leak, “It was a matter of ‘when’ rather than ‘if.'”

    One former staffer said Arizona State covered expenses for some recruits to attend the 2018 Las Vegas Bowl, a game the Sun Devils lost 31-20 to Fresno State. “(That) was really the breaking point,” he said, “where it kind of went from, ‘We’re going to straddle the gray area,’ to, ‘We’re in the gray area.'” Per multiple sources, one recruit hung out with the Sun Devils at the team hotel, which likely would have been a major violation. Some staffers, the sources said, were so uncomfortable to see the recruit at the team dining area that they left the room.

    “It started out (quiet) but then it became certainly more out in the open,” a source with inside knowledge said. “A little bit more casual. There was always kind of an understanding. People learned not to ask those questions as far as where (unofficial visitors) were staying.”
