Yeah, like I said not saying he won't be a duck, but it is not a quack yet.
Still with how it has been going with Dontre and the twins recently I wonder how much a commit means.

not just recently my friend. I've been following recruiting closely for going on 6 or 7 years, and I've seen locks for Oregon go elsewhere, and ones come out of nowhere go to Oregon. I try to just enjoy the ride.

yep. Twins and Wilson had in home with Almost the whole Ducks coaching staff.
If he doesn't want to be a duck fine, but us thinking we were solid on him caused us to stop going after other targets. Green, Kamara ect.

fair enough, but him being solid to UO was, I assume, to another Head Coach. IMO it works both ways. I wish him well in any instance that doesnt hurt us.

its funny to me that so many who follow recruiting pretend they actually know whats going on. Tell me swami, how many times did Oregon call/text/email Green & Kamari after Dontre gave his verbal to Oregon?

Dontre and his media driven father are truly classy people! He doesn't de-commit from the Ducks first, and then he announces he's a Buckeye before even calling the Oregon staff and saying thank you for the offer! His dad leaked to the press that his son was going to the Buckeyes a day before he even announced.
Urban Meyer is just the kind of shit weasel who would appreciate a class act kid like this!
Dontre knew for weeks that he was going to jump ship, so why did he wait? He did however call out Chip for causing his flip! Chip caused us Wilson we know that, but Wilson waited as long as possible so our program would be hurt by not having his spot filled.
So congrats, Oregon pays the price for two monster egos bigger than the Ducks!
I for one am glad we are done with Wilson and Chip!

Eh lots of times i'm sure. But it was reported they canceled that LB's visit when they Offered Ragin (who some thought was silent)
Turns out Johnny Ragin Sticks with Cal. Ragin isn't going to Oregon because of lack of late attention.

you aren't making sense. My response was to your claim that Oregon had settled on DW so (according to you) ..."us thinking we were solid on him caused us to stop going after other targets. Green, Kamara ect". One post later you're claiming that (you're sure) they didn't stop going after said targets... and then you bring up a non-sequitor about Linebackers.
again, none of us are in the know... why play pretend?

you are right we contacted the RB's. But in the RB's own words we stopped persuing them. Green at the AA game.
The LB situation was a direct situation where we pulled a visit because we thought we would get a player that did not pull through.
You don't see teams like Alabama back down on players until signing day.

I'm sore about Wilson leaving too, but don't get all too butthurt over this.
Buckeyes under Meyer are nowhere near as strong as the Gators under his tutelage. Not that many big bodies because lolnotSEC.
MSU and Michigan will give him fits for us. Besides, I like the Wolverines, and seeing Green run rupshod over the Buckeyes while Wilson will get hammered by Pipkins and Poggi will bring me smiles.
Besides, we have a power back from Arizona and Oregon knows how to maximize players into stars. And next year we'll hit even harder.
Notice a trend? Chip Kelly doesn't really give a damn about recruiting. Helfrich does and that will help big time
Edit: SPEAKING OF ALABAMA
They just got Reuben Foster.
Saban is really painting this Dragon mentality about him. Dragons hoard all the gold and wealth until a knight comes along and slays him.
Also, they always send offers to any and all players(as does Ole Miss) Oregon is a bit picky.

I figure best we can do is Keept he Twins. Land Hunt, Prevot, Cunningham. Get Purcell if NCAA clears him. Worse would Lose the Twins and only sign Hunt. I suspect somewhere inbetween. But it scares me that the Only get Hunt and lose the twins is the most likely of those two scenarios.

Prevot and Cunningham are going to be tough. Distance for the both of them and Prevot wants a good business school(USC has such a business program and a degree is big time).
NCAA need to hurry up on Purcell. He can be a first round pick in two years, the guy is built like a monster.

right, but that was over a half year after DW had given a verbal to Oregon. In both RB's words, we were heavily in pursuit of them after that. Fans (of course) only get the PSA's version of things as schools aren't allowed to publicly comment on specific recruits, and there are many plausible reasons Oregon stopped their pursuit of recruits from the East coast other then the one that you jumped to.
it sucks for us Duck fans that Wilson decided to go elsewhere, but thats recruiting. I wish the kid good luck

We don't play USC for two years, and they will probably have a new coach next time we do.

Zalsa-
My displeasure is not about a player changing his mind or a coach taking another position, it's how you make that decision and how that decision impacts those you profess to care about.
Chip Kelly jerked around with the NFL for two years of a four year head coaching stint here and that in may eyes is fairly arrogant for a first time head coach and it certainly cost us in recruiting, and it's honest to say it cost us by cutting corners with the NCAA! Chips decision to stay at Oregon and fall back on that decision two weeks later and a month before national signing day is why Dontre is gone! It's why the Robinson twins are looking elsewhere, further why guys like Falah aren't even in the discussion anymore!
Chips ego trumps Oregon's program and that's clear now! SO NEXT!
As for Wilson, his bone to pick with Chip cost us a featured back and we can only hope this wont come full circle to bite us in the ass in a Rose Bowl down the line! I think Wilson could have de- committed three weeks ago and been classy about it with a school that had been recruiting him for years..... It's just a common courtesy something a father might have told a son to do to show some class! I'm sure Dontre feels Chips bolted on him without a word so touché! Only problem is Oregon suffers not Chip making 5mil a year or Dontre who'll now be a an undersized receiver for OSU.
The end game is Oregon lost! Now it's time to build a program built on a school with a winning tradition, not a ego maniac coach looking for an upgrade! I for one am happy this can be about football again!
Quack!

Dawgman jumped the gun. Apparently they are now waiting until tomorrow.
I think they're UW's at this point. Just a gut feeling.

That would deflate the UW class. They are banking on stealing the twins. If Helf keeps them, watch out next year in terms of recruiting.
