Harper signed with Arizona according to ESPN. They were recruiting him as a QB, the temptation to be the starting QB was probably too much.

Probably sees himself as the next Dennard Robinson, since RichRod is the coach.

Agreed. They will regret it for sure.

Could they transfer from UW?

Only Shaq ended up at UW. Castro went to UCLA and Harper went to Arizona.

Transferring in-conference almost never happens in the PAC-12.

Hey is there any news about AAs brother coming to Oregon now? I know they wanted to play together.
 
The problem with Harper at QB is that I assume he was just fine at the High School level, but at the college level I question he passing ability. I would imagine he is fairly one dimensional which never works in College, and works even less with anemic running games such as Arizona's. It is actually what worries me most about the Ducks next year, is Bennent going to be to put enough pressure on the D with his arm so teams don't stack the box. With Harper at QB teams are just going to sit on the run game and blitz the hell out of him.
 
So that's a wrap folks! Will there be a post of all the final commits?
 
USC and Stanford had good recruiting classes. USC amazes me, for being on probation and losing scholarships they still kicked ass. Stanford and USC both got great linemen and skilled position players for years. USC went into FLorida and stole two of their best prospects... The Ducks need to start making relationships there in a hurry. I must say I'm a bit surprised anyone would play for Lamo Kiffen from the SEC area being the kind of morally absent shell of a human being he was at Tennessee.... guess his daddy really is that good.

That said I can't wait to beat the hell out of USC and Barkley next year since they've already been handed the Pac-12 title by sportswriters and pollsters...

Is Kiffin really that bad? He's okay as a coach or is it just Barkley? Their D reminds me of SEC-defenses.

yes sir. Kinda slammed today at work. But I hope to work on it tonight or tomorrow.
 
You ask any person about Lamo Kiffin from my part of the country and they'll politely walk away from you with Utter Disgust! Lamo would sell his mom for a 290 5* DT! Further he burned a well respected program at Tennessee and he got on the shit list of every coach of worth in the SEC. He called out Urban Meyer for recruiting issues which Lamo made up, talked shit on Spurrier and said Saban was overrated! All in his first year while going barely 500! Yea this guy is all class, then he bolts for LA as fast as he could to take over Carols recruits.... The fact is this the Pac-12 south was a joke last year.. it wont be better next year and USC only has to beat us "TWICE" to go to the national championship. Lamo has a great QB, two great recievers, a stable of 5* recruits and the tradition of USC behind him + home field against us... So why am I so confident he'll fail? Lamo still lacks any trace of moral and ethical conviction or any resemblance of manhood and that's why he'll come up short! Norm Chow isn't there to teach him how to coach this time, and his daddy is getting old. Many think they hired Lamo as a tampon to cover the bleeding of the probation just long enough for Carroll to serve the necessary time in the NFL and return. One more year with the Seachickens and Pete will be back where he belongs and USC will be fully stocked for him to lead them again!
 
The class isn't quite done yet. Brooks looks likely to commit after visiting this weekend.

How many scholarships are left? Chip made it sound like there were still a couple to be given to the right guys......

I've never known this to happen but can a recruit still pull out after he signed letter of intent?

Interested to know how many guys say the next day..... "Did I make a mistake?"

Probably not I believe.

I see. Well the years he's been at USC proves he's a good coach, ethics notwithstanding. I'm not saying he's a good person, but a good coach. And besides, most SEC coaches would sacrifice their firstborn child for a 5* recruit. Saban is the exact same way.

And Carroll is improving in NFL, and remember he made a gamble with Barkley as True Freshman(flunked at first, but starting to pay off) and he got a bad record, not to mention the whole fiasco with Reggie Bush and them losing their championship.

Also, will their be any SEC teams that come to play at Autzen at all?
 
Tennesee is scheduled to come here in a couple years I believe. There was a home and home scheduled with Georgia also, but they backed out right around after Oregon pummeled Tennessee in Knocksville

Ah nuts, I want to see Georgia or LSWho or Bama get thrasted in Autzen. I'm tried of these "neutral" zones like Texas(right next to Louisana).

I'm with you on that one. But they wont play here when they can play ITT Tech and Turd Tech in their Out of Conference Games at home.

I'm looking to sell my tickets to the ITT Tech and Midwestern Turd State games at Autzen next September. :)
 
Those first two cupcake games will be a great way to see who our starting QB should be + to iron out some timing issues between our recievers, line and so forth... I imagine this will be a good burn for guys who haven't seen very much PT to shine. Our starters should be done by half time.....

touche' :lol: Who cancelled on us this year though? I cant remember, was K-State this next season, or last season?
 
I'm telling ya'll we need to schedule Notre Dame every year.... USC almost jumped five spots after spanking that JV team all over the field. The AP and voters love those weak suck Irish and it's almost a for sure win. That's why USC schedules them yearly!
 
I'm a tad concerned with the lack of recruiting OL in this class.
 
Let's leave that to next year. I got a bunch of DL and WR so next year we can focus on OL and Corners.

Also, any possible True Freshman possibly for this class? Byron Marshall or Pharoah Brown look plausible.

I would be too, if we hadnt had such a huge OL class last year. And the majority of them made it through the year with their redshirt in tact. Most years there is more of a balance of equal linemen from class to class, but our haul was so big last year, we could put it off this year.
 
Also, there is also Seastrunk and Lyerla that will get playing time this year as well. Seastrunk is a RB, but what position will Lyerla play?
 
Seastrunk transferred to Baylor at the beginning of the year. Just a heads up :)

Lyerla played a lot this past season at TE where he's expected to start next season

Can we take talk of scheduling and depth to other threads?

Not talking as an admin here... just that I'd prefer to have things cleaner so we can discuss things more easily.

2012 recruiting news is basically over, outside of one possible late commitment. This thread is basically a wrap.

... and ... SCENE! until news about Brooks.
 
So the recruiting year is done and here's what I've come away with:

If you want to BE A DUCK you'll be recruited not the other way around. Chip is not going to cheapen this program or what he's built here to do the song and dance with the Rivals top 150. Good or bad the kids we have wanted to be Ducks, many for a very long time and that's a hell of alot easier to coach and motivate than a kid you have to convince about your program. To be honest, I'd take one less star on every player I've got if their minds were ready from day one to be molded into my plan as a head coach. I think Chip knows what he's doing, we are building a vision with the OOOO and vision brings a hell of a team. Then come the champioships like Pac-12 champs and Rose Bowl winners.... The next step is clear because Chip has built an all in philosopy and he has a team ,not individuals that have bought into it, from the coaching staff down to the ball boys. It's a good time to be a Duck!
