D1 over on DT says Eddie is ours to lose.
Big verbal today for UO from 4-star Evan Voeller from West Linn. Best OL prospect on the west coast according to a few recruiting services.
Connor O'Brien recently visited on an unofficial and absolutely was raving about Oregon afterwords especially enjoying taking in one of their frenetic practices. He has an offer and probably projects at outside LB
Looks like O'Brien committed to UW tonight. His loss, I guess.
Tosh is busy at work again it seems!
When a player is picking a school based soley on their recruiter rather than their program I'd raise an eyebrow. Case in point Shaq Thompson. You have to wonder what a recruiter is saying to a player to make him follow you to two schools in under 2 months?
"He's like my best friend" Dontre Wilson on #Oregon RB coach Gary Campbell http://oregon.247sports.com/Board/45/Hes-like-my-best-friend-Dontre-Wilson-on-Gary-Campbell-9365051 via @247Sports
its really not all that out of the ordinary. In fact if you look closer into the program we support.. Gary Campbell is kinda "that guy" for many recruits who come through here. He may not play xbox with them (as far as I know) but RB's love the guy. I just saw this tweet from Hopkins today quoting 4* RB from Texas Dontre Wilson who is supposedly choosing between us and Texas soon.
There are plenty of other players who go and stay places for a coach. LMJ both stayed at Oregon when he thought of transferring, and came back to Oregon after his Soph year and cites Campbell as one of the biggest reasons why.
Wilson also pointed to his relationship with Oregon running backs coach Gary Campbell, a native Texas, as another big positive for the Ducks.
“He's like my best friend,” Wilson said. “All of the running backs he's coached have had great success. It's a big factor in my decision.”
While Wilson has less than a month to make a decision, it appears Texas and the other schools trying to recruit him will be chasing the three-time reigning Pac-10/12 champions from out West.
“My decision is basically that I'd have committed to Oregon already if it wasn't so far away,” Wilson said. “That's my big issue with Oregon. I want my parents to be able to come see me play. In the end you're trying to make it to the league, so you do what you have to do.”
further indications of how much things have changed, rivals 188th best overall prospect Oklahoma DB Stanvon Taylor relayed he recently requested his HS coach get in touch with Oregon's staff and let them know he's very interested and would like them to call him
Hopkins making some predictions on who the three most likely prospects to commit to Oregon on signing day will be.
1. Dontre Wilson
2. Eddie Vanderdoes
3. Scott Pagano
He says he's fairly confident that we land those guys.
I also think that if Eddie comes, Hutchings will be ours as well.
Pagano offered by LSU now. Impressive offer list for a "3*" player. He probably will be much higher come next rankings list.
Hawaii is a challenge for the recruiting services (Scout, DSA, etc...) to cover accurately. I'm sure their budgets are relatively spartan and it probably isn't cost efficient, so I cut them some slack when it comes to rating/projecting the islanders. The Samoan culture produces lots of BIG BOYS though, and what fanbase doesn't crave that? Unlike underpaid reporters, the cost of another plane ticket doesn't seem to stand in the way of Duck coaches going wherever whenever.

Wasn't Max Unger a Hawaiian as well?
