I'm weary of these Big uglies who seem to have this "spotlight" mentality, and seem to flip flop alot. May not be a fair comparison at all but it kinda reminds me of the recruitment of Seantrel Henderson.

 

[Wheels]

that said... I'd take him if he committed

They're 17 and 18 year old kids who are making a huge decision.

 

[Targus]

Ngata gave verbal to Nebraska, swayed to BYU and settled in Eugene.

Big decision for these kids.

I totally get that. And I'm normally a pretty big defender of that. In my following recruiting experience it seems less when its lineman. As I said maybe im in the wrong. .. But I'm a little concerned when its a lineman who seeks the spotlight. And Seantrel was an example I thought of.

If he wants to play with his brother, Arik can't go to a pac-12 school

 

[STOMP]

LB David Perkins to announce tomorrow and has named his final 3 as tOSU Cal & Illinois. Of the three, he's only visited Columbus...

Something of note, UCLA now has 28 commits with only 18 or 20 schollies to offer. Unless they do major roster cuts, they are going to have to tell some of these PSA's there's not enough room.

Mora's fairly well-known as being a guy with an oversized ego who treats people like shit. I don't think he'll have any problem trimming the fat from UCLA.

Remember the saga of California 5* DT Aziz Shittu? He had Oregon in his favorites mix early on and then apparently got bent out of shape when the Ducks didn't offer him at the start of his visit to Eugene. He committed to Stanford just a few days later only to decommit within the month but has been badmouthing Oregon via the twitterverse ever since.

Well here's his latest tweet from an hour ago

https://twitter.com/#!/AzizShittu

I'm trying to take a look at the #Ducks can someone get me back in contact with the coaches #Oregon

STOMP

 

[Wheels]

I was reading about this but never saw the badmouth stuff. I'll have to check out what he said.

 

[Wheels]

also I saw this from about 21 hours ago

Wait somebody has hacked my twitter this is not me

which was obviously before the Oregon tweet... but still I wonder if he is just hacked.

 

[Wheels]

ugh he tweets like a mofo I'll never get back as far as around his visit lol.

Also he sure seems big on personal rankings and stuff and how he is viewed. Wonder if that type of attitude is what factored into him not being offered. (Yes I realize that translation can get lost in 140 characters or less)

AzizShittu Aziz Shittu
Dang Scout.com worked me in the rankings

AzizShittu Aziz Shittu @
@DamonSayles Put in word for me to get back in that espn 150 if you could

 

[Da_O]

There is some major news going to be coming I guess in the next few weeks.

Division1a is a poster on DT and a major contributor to the site. He has connections with tons of D1 athletes in the state of Cali and is good friends with Arik Armsteads family.

He just wrote this today regarding Armstead, "I can't say too much....but what I will say is that Oregon is definately a MAJOR player here."

And this.

"Arik's family, so its important that I respect the family's wishes. Just know, Oregon has not been eliminated and is a major player."

Then Justin posted this afterwards, "There may be icing on top of the cake to the Armstead news.. I'm working on the backend details here. Could be something big coming by NSD guys. Stay on the ride."

 

[Wheels]

damn you Da_0! lol now I'm all wondering!

 

[3RA1N1AC]

thats whats separating oregon from the LSUs of the world...multiple 5 star defensive recruits every year

 

[Da_O]

Oregon does finish strong, did last year. Two guys I didn't think we had a chance at, now suddenly here we are maybe in the thick of things for them.

Aziz, Armstead, Poutasi and Johnson. Make it happen Ducks.

 

[Wheels]

not that we expected different but David Perkins Committed to Ohio State

this would be an amazing way to cap off this years class!

 

[STOMP]

Bair 6'9
Armstead 6'8
Buckner 6'7
Daniel 6'6
Carriger 6'6
Balducci 6'4
Castro 6'1

Seems like they're doubling down on the strategy of rotating active long tall 280-300 pound guys. The DT rotation loses no one + adds Ebert. The DE rotation loses Turner & Hanna but adds Kamp & Koa Ka'ai. Barring injury I foresee a whole lot of redshirting going on... the cupboards are full.

DG-B finally see the light?

I'm drawing a blank here for some reason

 

[Wheels]

Can't link on my phone but thomas johnson tweeted today "at the end if the day just wanna win the day #wintheday" interesting

@Tee_Johnson3

 

[Da_O]

I'm drawing a blank here for some reason

Dorial Green-Beckham.

Anyways, haha Stomp. Now that would be crazy. My guess is we might be in the mix again for Shaq or somebody else entirely, but in actuality I don't have a clue.

Can't wait till NSD.

 

[Ghost Pepper]

Arik wants to play hoops as I've suggested before and the Ducks need help! Without Ellis and maybe Shaq it makes little sense to continue on the Cal path, USC I think shot themselves in the foot and ND I don't think he'll be considered a hoops guy there. That's good for us! At this point though watching Ellis pick UCLA, I'm lost as to what these kids will do next!

Either way we'll be fine!

On a side note USC recievers have been considered the best tandem in the history of USC football! Can't wait to beat these guys next year!

 

[Ed O]

I'm drawing a blank here for some reason

Dorial Green-Beckham. Totally badass WR who will (IMO) end up at Texas or maybe Missouri (?). No way he comes to Eugene.

@Tee_Johnson3

This is fantastic

Ed O.

 

[Wheels]

Haha gotcha now. I was thinking it was an actual target that I couldn't think of. Glad I'm not losing it too bad lol

 

[Wheels]

This is fantastic

Ed O.

Can't be a bad sign but also he tweeted after that that wasnt a commitment. Still seems pretty good

 

[Da_O]

Someone posted this and I thought it was funny.

From BJ Kelley, "Somebody tell the recruits that if they wanna be the best and win with the best to just hurry up and sign and quit playin..."
