Kelly doing an in-home visit with Armstead on Thursday. Shaq's making contact with Oregon players is a good sign as well, because if Shaq goes to Oregon, DT says Armstead will go as well.

EDIT: Kelly will be Armstead's last in-home visit. Also Kelly will also visit Shaq on Friday.

just to be clear, this is just me speculating/hoping on a looooong shot. In past years my record speculating on similar long shots is 0%

that said, lead pipe lock ;)

I get that it's the norm, but it's concerning to me that the coaches aren't doing a better job of selling the school and not the coach. I think it's a bad way to sustain a program

Agreed. Somehow, Chip has become bigger than Oregon football.

Actually, weren't you accurate on the DAT signing last year? I remember you as saying UO had a good shot, even though USC seemed to be a lock.

That's what happens when teams go to 3 straight BCS bowls under the same coach after being largely mediocre for the previous zillion years.

I suppose if Chip had Mike Riley's record the past three years, you'd be happy because then Oregon football would be bigger than a coach likely to soon be fired?

I find it funny how people expect Chip to be so loyal, yet if the team wasn't winning, the same people would have no problem firing him and looking for a winner.
 
1997-2001, the Ducks had a 23-game home winning streak at Autzen. It was a record Flip just couldn't match because in 2011, the USC Trojans defeated the Ducks 38-35 ending a 21-game home winning streak, in a game that left even the moderate fan questioning the 3 quarters of flat play and misuse of time outs.

Mediocre is 2001 too.
 
I hope it's okay if I break in on this ongoing drama thats now spilled over into the recruiting thread with some recruiting stuff... :snort:

it seems that both Javon Williams & Jaydon Mickens have recently been told thanks but no thanks by Oregon. Both are said to have some eligibility/qualifying concerns, so maybe the compliance office had something to do with this change, or maybe it's something else. Williams, who is Dion Jordan's cousin, sounded particularly bummed about it. We've passed on some really good kids this year... I wonder whats going to be under the tree?

I guess we waited too long for Williams as he's now choosing between UCLA and Arkansas.

Too many wide receiver targets we didn't want to offer him yet. Thomas Johnson, Chance Allen, Bralon Addison, Julian Brooks, and maybe Nelson Agholor are all higher on our target list.

Also we can cross Kimbo Slice errr I mean Menelik Watson off the list, he's no longer visiting us on the 27th and says he is done with visits.
 
Wow,

Talk about some bitter UW fans! I guess this is what happens when your team sucks? Some of them are very funny, in that they are so sadly bitter. Looks like they are pissed that we may pull Shaq from them?

No class man. Didn't have it when I was there in the late 90s, still don't I suppose...

Thomas Tyner was a bit upset Sunday, but seems to be over it now.

As reports swirled that Kelly was close to finalizing a deal with the NFL's Buccaneers, Tyner on Sunday tweeted, "Questioning where I will be in a couple years now that this story is going around. Looks legit."

But Monday morning, fans woke up to good news: Kelly was staying in Eugene, and Tyner hadn't changed his commitment plans.

"That tweet came out just because I was upset," Tyner said. "He's a great coach, and every NFL team out there wants him. I went to bed kind of mad, but when I woke up and read on Twitter that he was staying, I had a big smile on my face. It relieved a lot of stress."

Interesting to note from the comments section:

Starting with the 2008 season and extending 5 years into the 2012 season which hasn't even begun, there are 86 new head coaches in the 120 Division 1 teams that play college football.
That means most kids who signed in February 2008 will not have completed their college careers with the head coach that signed them.

Hard for many kids to accept, but they need to think about the school not the coach. 70 percent of the kids who signed in 2008 know what I mean.

~70% of PSAs from the 2008 class saw the coach they signed with leave within their 5-year window. Fairly amazing stat, and it surprised me.

no surprise here but Kyle Murphy eliminated the Ducks today. per JH
 
This is promising:

GregBiggins Colony (Calif.) ATH Bryan Harper said #Oregon head coach Chip Kelley was in the home tonight and he solidified his visit for this weekend

If you haven't looked at his highlights:

Long strider, great vertical, and he is actually quite physical...

He obviously wouldn't play QB. Where does he project as a Duck? A Huff-like WR? CB/KR?

I live like 10-20 minutes away from him. I'm assuming he's gonna pick either Stanford or USC. I'm not surprised for USC because SC does have a lot of experienced starters(they only lost one guy in the Draft), and on his Facebook he was in a picture with Matt Barkley. I think it's gonna be USC.

Well it's his desicsion, so good for him, although the Ducks could have used him along with Kyle Long(who goes to the same school I go to, ala Saddleback).

Still, I hope our recruiting crop is promising. I mean, I saw the videos of Buckner, P.Brown, B. Marshal. I just hope that our QB talent is up to par, because with Matt Barkley in the Duck's way for a Title/Rose game, Mariota or Bennett is gonna need to improve.

Also Hello s2 forums.

Charmed.

This forum is a bit slow I noticed. And I looked around and couldn't find a USC 2012 Football Recruting page. Am I looking I the wrong place?

Also I did some math concerning the two major Pac-12 schools(USC and Oregon) on Rivals about their recruits.

Average Star rating for Ducks: 3.33(repeating) They have 18. They have eight 4stars, nine stars and one 2star.
Average Star rating for USC: 5.85. They have 12. Nine 4Stars, one 5star, and two 3stars.

That is one hell of a recruiting class!
 
Oh, and the Blazer forum is by far the most active on the site, which is why there specific Oregone and OSU forums. I think everyone on here (except maybe Targus) posts regularly on the Blazer forum.

PapaG,

Take a look at the last part of that video I posted. He can play D!

When you have an OL in Jordan Simmons for a recruit, you know you're doing well in recruting. I played OL in HS and that man is a friggin monster.

I'll recheck the math later and give you all the full low down.

So there's no USC forum I assume of this site?

No. This is a Portland Trail Blazers site that has an offshoot for local teams. Check condums 247, Rivals or Scout maybe?

Ha, I was just joking. If you look back at my quote, I bolded their average star rating, which is nearly 6, so obviously just a typo.

Kidding about what? Am I missing something lol?

Ah okay, well that's fine if this site is all Oregon-based sports. I don't mind.

Well I can compare other teams, like teams that Oregon could face in the BCS Title game or Rose Bowl later. Any non-BCS schools that look good(ala TCU from 2010?)
