Don’t expect UA coach Rich Rodriguez to invite Oregon coach Willie Taggart to his lakehouse in Georgia anytime soon.

Taggart has stolen three Arizona commits — Burmeister, receiver Darrian McNeal and defensive lineman Austin Faoliu — and is after a couple more.

Tony Wallace, a three-star cornerback from Las Vegas, committed to Arizona in December but has since received offers from Oregon, USC and Nebraska.

Offensive lineman Cody Shear is from Eugene, Oregon, but doesn’t hold an offer from his hometown school yet. Shear has been talking with Ducks coaches recently, however, making his recruitment one worth watching.

Linebacker Anthony Pandy verbally committed to the UA this week. The three-star was believed to be waiting for an Oregon offer at the time of his commitment.

UA coaches will continue to keep an eye on three-star safety Troy Young, an Alabama native who took a visit to UAB this weekend; three-star Jalen Harris of Mesa Desert Ridge, who is being tempted by Notre Dame; and receiver Brian Casteel, who’s recently talked to coaches from Washington State, UCLA and, of course, Oregon.
