2013 FOOTBALL Commits and Recruiting News

[STOMP]

Well, I posted a day before STOMP about the verbal from Evan Voeller, so even with 10 posters, it's little more than a cut/paste hobby for him, and he has no interest in actually discussing things or reading contributions from other posters.

no troll, I continue to have no interest in discussing anything with you because I've no respect for you... I see you as the board's emo-joke who desperately seeks any and all attention. I've told you to piss off several times before but you still stalk me trying everything from compliments to insults begging for a response. It's truly pathetic. I have no one on ignore, but when scrolling through posts and I come across one of the 20 cries for attention you throw out a day, I just keep on going. Why read or respond to someone I view as disturbed? Quoting me does get me to read, but that typically enforces the impression that I want nothing to do with your silly drama. You're not here to discuss, you're here to have endless stupid insultathons. I'd suggest that others who want to avoid your O-Live cesspool BS use the same tactic... don't feed the troll.

I posted this in the other thread as well, but wanna post it here. Everyone has said their peace.

ok seems like everyone has gotten their laundry aired. Now lets keep it less about how much we hate posters. Thanks

Oregon just offered Georgia RB Alvin Kamara. I'm not sure if it's really a sign of a changing recruiting strategy or just following the talent that interests them, but it seems they've a whole lot of offers out to guys from the SE this year.

this video is pretty herky jerky, but it was the best I could find

Dontre Wilson to decide tonight? Per ATQ via J-Hop

Which RB would be best for us to get after Tyner? Kamara or Wilson? I like Kamara more though, mainly because he has a similar build to Tyner

We need a huge work horse back to bang it in from 3 out to the endzone or get the first down when we need one.

neither of those situations has been problematic with the 175-190 pound backs Oregon has been featuring the last few years... in fact it's the exact opposite. Of course LeGarrette & Stewart also did really well during Chip's tenure. The Ducks have great RB & Oline coaches in Campbell & Greatwood and their success is helping them to continue to bring in talented kids. Color me unconcerned about the size of their RB recruits... I'm pretty positive they'll continue to get it done regardless

Barner has had injury issues, Tra is gone, DAT is a situational player not a 4 down RB and that leaves it up to a true freshman in Marshall and RB's by comittee.... I think it's safe to say we need a work horse just like Blount to offset the speed and give us that extra punch against SEC type defenses. To say different is demeaning to SEC schools that made DT's , LMJ's and Barners life very tough in two nationally broadcasted games that we lost both of! Course maybe you think the SEC esp. BAMA and LSU will get smaller every year! HAHAHAHA! THX for the laugh SlyPokerDog!

1. everyone does 2.no biggie on Tra and I think his lack of production despite good size illuminates how its more about talent then size 3.No way. Same size as every down back LMJ. Expect his touches to increase a lot this year 4. Ayele has performed just fine too 5. how did our last true freshman who earned snaps do? I'm pretty excited to see Marshall who I understand from insider sources is working out like a madman

nice straw man you created to give yourself a laugh with. Oregon stacked up very well in those two games & DT had big games passing in both because they sold out to stop the run. It was fumbles that lost them the LSU game and the mNCG ridiculously sloppy field had both powerful offenses spinning their wheels and pulling a groin.

If DAT was a four down back in the SEC he'd be broken in a year! He's a Reggie Bush type of player and should be used as such. He's 5'10 in shoes and 180 pounds wet. To think Stomp you'd even suggest him as a featured 4 down back at this level is ignorant. Luckily you're not coaching. As for Barner? Him being injury prone is a bit of a concern since he's our FEATURED BACK this year! Logic=1, Stomp=0. Now as for Marshall ,the only place I agree with anything you purge EVER is this kid might be a very quick 1st year impact back for the Ducks and he may have to. I too hope he's as good as people think but to suggest that we don't need another Blount if found, is just silly!!! We are not playing just to beat USC anymore, we playing to beat Bama or whoever the SEC throws our way bowl time. That said until we beat one of these SEC monsters perhaps you might want to cool your jets and think they perhaps too know what they're doing and that's why they're beating us and winning National Championships for the better part of the last decade!

Yup. He's pretty much the same exact age, height, and weight as LaMichael was during his Redshirt Freshman year when he ran 230 times for 1546 yards. LMJ recently stated that DAT is faster though

To think Stomp you'd even suggest him as a featured 4 down back at this level is ignorant.

right, all I've got is a famous recent example to counter your bluster

Luckily you're not coaching.

no doubt, luckily none of us are. I'm just a fan who pays attention and make no hilarious claims to know better then Coach Kelly and Co like you do.

As for Barner? Him being injury prone is a bit of a concern since he's our FEATURED BACK this year! Logic=1, Stomp=0.

Since I attended UO in the 80's pretty much every single featured back at Oregon has suffered injuries that held them out of games. LaMichael, Legarrette, Jeremiah Johnson, Johnathan Stewart, Ruben Droughns, Onterio Smith, to name a few of the better known ones. It's a rough game and everyone is injury prone. Hopefully Oregon continues its relatively good luck on the injury front as thats about the only thing I see keeping them from being an elite team this year.

here's hoping Oregon adds another 5'10 175 speedburner to their flock tomorrow

[Ghost Pepper]

DAT is faster the LMJ we all know that.... so you bringing that up is a no brainer....
LMJ has considerably more muscle than DAT at this juncture and we all know that too.

As for all Ducks getting injured in and that's football, think for "ONCE" that most people on this board have played ball at some level "some of us more than others" and know about injuries, so no need to act like an expert, and considering how good the Ducks were in the 80's I presume you were a starter then? That said, it's safe to say that if Barner gets hurt the drop off in experience could be massive and I personally don't want to put DAT's body through that type of punishment which I believe takes away from his overall effectiveness. Thus the need to find some Blundt like recruits. That's why this whole discussion started!

As to the fact that you didn't respond to the SEC part of my previous post I think we must be agreeing that Oregon may run the Pac but the big boys we should be recruiting to beat have their shit together and we might want to be respectful till we beat them more than once!

 

[Da_O]

Calm down, take a deep breath, and everything will be just fine.



Talking to myself of course...

 

[Wheels]

Dontre Wilson commits to Ducks!

somehow you're not following along. LMJ started his Jr year of eligibility at 195 pounds. When he was a 19 year old Redshirt Freshman he was 180 pounds yet was the featured every down back. DAT is now 19 and the same height and weight as LMJ was when he dominated putting up the most yards by a Freshman in Pac 10 history. Don't you see how that flies directly counter to your wild assertions?

OOOoookay...

Welcome to Oregon Dontre Wilson!

Dontre Wilson commits to Ducks!

This is very exciting. There is still time, of course, for Texas or Ohio State to try to steal him, but it seems like his family situation is pretty solid and there's less room for him to be changing his mind late in the game.

Ed O.

 

[Ghost Pepper]

This kid averages 6 yards a carry and 20 yards a catch. Seems like another Texas RB we had! OOOO kay!

 

[STOMP]

some chatter that Oregon's next commit may be Georgia QB Anthony Jennings who (according to his coach & Twitter) is coming out on an unofficial in a couple of weeks

I think we're good on QBs for the time being. We need LBs, a DE, and OL first and foremost.

no one signing between today and LOI day in February will be playing until at least fall 2013 and lots of things could change between now and then. I'm sure that the coaches are pursuing and will be signing players at the positions you listed and many others. Quality depth across the board is a good thing

It's not an either-or situation... the Ducks should take a QB this class, and if they can get a good one to commit early, then they won't be scrambling at the end of the signing period.

I believe Jennings was visiting Missouri this weekend, and expects to announce in a couple of weeks. It looks like Oregon has a pretty good shot.

Ed O.

 

[Ghost Pepper]

Worst case is this kid can be turned into a CB, or reciever if the QB pipeline gets to full. He's got good secondary size.

 

[STOMP]

Georgia QB Anthony Jennings has been upgraded to 4* in the latest round of rivals ratings. He's been invited to be one of the 35 or so finalists competing to make the elite 11 QB camp

He's in Eugene this last weekend and has been tweeting positives about possibly commiting

[STOMP]

5* Virginia RB Derrick Green will be visiting UO this summer in conjunction with the elite Nike camp The Opening. Not that it really matters, but Green has moved ahead of Tyner in the latest round of rivals RB rankings and is their new #1 rated back

This tells me that Tyner injuries are concerning to Chip and crew.... If this kid was to commit here I think Tyner would be gone.... I played against this high school when I was growing up and I'll promise you Vtech, Clemson and FSU guys are at every one of his games. Beamer will try and keep him home.

 

[Wheels]

I think Injuries to RB's and possibility to them are of chief concern to any coach. Next year we are still looking thin at RB with Barner gone, and that leaves Marshall, Thomas, Tyner, and Ford. With Wilson probably redshirting.

I cant name too many RB's in the recent past for Oregon who werent Dinged up. J-Stew, JJohnson, Barner, LMJ, DAT, Cant remember on LGB if he ever got dinged, but also gotta keep in mind attrition too. Too many RB's is never a bad thing for the team.

 

[STOMP]

Prior to Tyner committing, the chatter on rivals from those much more on top of things then I were projecting Oregon to take 2-3 RBs in this cycle to get their depth chart in order after the early loss of James & attrition of Carson, Seastrunk & DWilliams. Good teams typically have quality depth at all positions and let competition decide who plays. Oregon looking to fill their cupboards with more good players isn't an indictment of others already comitted, it's what should be expected. Geez, look at USC's roster, or Texas, or Alabama...

The Ducks have almost no RBs on their current roster. Snapping up three in a class isn't crazy, given that, and if we're going to get three we should try to make them as good as possible.

Now, there's no guarantee that all three stay for more than a year or two, but by that time we might have had injuries or players going pro or whatever. I'll take my chances with more talent than less.

Ed O.

 

[Ghost Pepper]

I just think it will be hard on the high school ego for two 5*'s to share the same bowl! They are both in the top 5 on most sites for best RB's......

 

[Zalsa]

VTech will aim to keep him, and Virginia is a rising team with London at HC.

I hope to god Chip gets this kid Green. I like him.

But then again, Bama may gank him in order to groom a new Trent Richardson
