More signs Doherty is probabl . Set to stay closer to home and go to Missouri, with our new db offer to nare meadors
 
Durant deciding tomorrow at 1, Many Ole miss fans think he is a lock and CB were trending that way and their fans spam him on twitter. Many think it is an ASU Ole miss battle with Oregon being on the outside.
 
Why do so many blue chips hate us

Are other coaches saying that once Chip's kids leave we go to irrelevancy or something

Or are players so poor they can't afford a flight out here
 
ONo one hates us, we are often bridesmaids, we just are not finishing strong this year and contrary to what STOMP says the restricted visits and how we have to juggle them has been hurting us.
 
Chip did not recruit Marcus, Helfrich found him and groomed him as the O coordinator and then head coach. Chip is being given credit for something he did not have much in the development of.

Helfrich has earned his rep now. He's won the Pac, groomed a Heisman QB and is taking our team to the first ever playoff!

Keep in mind Helfrich and Frost are responsible for better recruiting classes than Chip was able to bring in, while doing so under penalties that Chip in fact got us!

That's an opinion that you're welcome to. At least I back mine up with facts & my reasoning instead of just stating stuff like it's from on high. Subscribing to a site doesn't make one privy to what's actually happening inside the program

I just disagree with you we have 37 official visits this cycle. we generally use 41 on average and that was for classes with a smaller size.

We've used over 30 so far, and have had to shy off on prospects like Sweat until we get a better feel for them.

On a sanction free year we would get 4-5 more kids who might be on the fence or in a case like this year targets interested for spots where we are swinging and missing.

You're just stating that you feel like we will end the class with extra official visits like other years... which isn't a fact and this isn't like other years. As for your statement about us landing kids who have already taken their offical that isn't happening. Tevis, durant, Spencer, have all gone elsewhere.

Who's left?
Merritt (possible but haven't heard any new news)
Uluave (no longer considered a duck lean like many were thinking)
Houston?
Green ?
Tell?
Nothing strongly reported for them... though some mixed news on Tell.

Having those extra officials meant we were able to bring in kids like Charles nelson after we lost Baker, and now things are just much Tighter.

I went over this recently crunching averages for the past 5 classes. Based on that and those who've used up their eligibility, I projected this class to be more or less the same as in the past 3 class... 20-21 kids. The last 3 classes that have averaged 20 per class averaged came following seasons where the Ducks averaged having 15 Seniors. The 2014 Ducks have 15 Seniors. With 17 commits already on board, thats only 3-4 more spots available by my guestimation. How many more then that are you projecting and please give some reasoning as to why you think this one should/will be larger then 21

We've used over 30 so far, and have had to shy off on prospects like Sweat until we get a better feel for them.

obviously the coaches disagree with your opinion...but what do they know about Duck recruiting?

I'm aware of 27 OVs used so far, and definitely not over 30. Since later in this same post I'm responding to you claim they've 9 OVs left, you're disagreeing with yourself

You're just stating that you feel like we will end the class with extra official visits like other years... which isn't a fact and this isn't like other years.

good grief, when I state something is a guess of course it isn't a fact. You're pointing out nothing here. It's my guess that just like past years they'll end up with unused OVs just like it's your guess that they won't have any left over at the end... in fact you'll "be shocked" if they do. I base my guess in part because they've more kids already on board then in past years and not many spots left, some of which are very likely to be filled by kids who've already visited.

As for your statement about us landing kids who have already taken their offical that isn't happening. Tevis, durant, Spencer, have all gone elsewhere.

the guys you've listed are all possibilities, I'd add Marquise Doherty to that list as one of the most likely... he's said to be deciding any day now. As in past years we may see flips to and from as well. I'd guess (alert! STOMP is guessing not relaying a fact) the quiet recruiting front is telling of the staff's collective confidence on whats happening behind the scenes.

Having those extra officials meant we were able to bring in kids like Charles nelson after we lost Baker, and now things are just much Tighter.

no silly. The fewer visits they've left then usual is more then offset by having 3 more kids then usual already committed. A bird in hand is worth...? I'm sure there are plenty of late rising kids from across the country who have Duck interest. Like Charles last cycle, they're sending in their Senior film and having conversations with the coaches. By having more commits then usual, the coaches have their pick of the litter of these pining to be a Duck kids for the remaining few spots. By my count they've 10 OVs left (not 9) and I see only 3 kids scheduled to be coming in (Neal, Hawkins, Meadors)... all three of those kids are thought to have high possibilities of commiting. Hawkins visit may hinge on Doherty's decision ect, so like every year even the scheduled visits are in flux.

Did mizzou pitch baseball towards him as well? That was one of the key reasons he committed.

Now what do we do?

Only one DB spot left at DB.
Still have an outside shot at Tell. May bring in Meagers or Hawkins in for a visit.

Only a handful of visits left so tricky.. unless you believe that it doesn't matter to get more players into visit.
 
Tyrone Wheatley Jr. out of NY will be visiting Oregon on Jan 30th. Supposedly we want him on D. So we can get two Long defenders, and Manu in the middle. TW would be a DeForest, Kanton an Arik.

Edit: Also, we are looking really good with Kirk Merritt. But he had a kid born recently...maybe he wants to get out of the LA area with kid?
 
Seems like he we can never nab that highly rated linebacker. I have no problem with Walker or Mattingly. Durant sure would have been nice though.
 
Harbaugh is goig to be Michigan HC. This may change s lot of things for recruiting out east.

If thats what you think I wrote I truly feel sorry for you.

10 visits left is two full handfuls. 3 spots available, 4 if Merritt comes. Historical closing rate of about 2 OVs per commit and it's still likely that one or more of those 3 spots is taken by someone who has already visited.

Sounds like it's SC & Oregon for Houston. Tell is said to be declaring in the next few days as well. The home school is almost always the favorite, but each situation is also unique... we shall see

Harbaugh is off to Michigan. And the land lf recruiting might just be changing big time.
 
Lovely. Also Canton is blowing up UA practices. Maybe an extra star is in order?

So, what's our standing with targets? Any of note or they all gojng elsewhere?

I believe he is planning to commit most likely to USC) prior to his oregon visit. so unlikely to us, we would have to flip him after, which is more difficult. Never mind the coaching pressure to cancel that visit after his commitment.

May get visit from 3 star LB Saleem Brightwell late janurary

Sounds like he maybe a back up plan in case Houston and Woods dont succeed. Also. No new news on 247 recruiting wise. What's the word on Folau out in Utah? Still, he has some decent size to him. But we are up against Miami and Michigan state. And they have dkne a good job with LBs.

In your opinion daigotsu, who do you think will be used for the last spots in our class? I think Kirk Merritt is a lock for oregon
 
Green spotted in Oregon shirt... probably similar to max redfield so don't read much into it.
 
At this point I think we a better shot at Beckner or even Gallimore than Green.

Also, I know Kirk M. Is a lock. But who will be in our final spots? 1-2 LBs and a DB/DT of some kind...
 
Oh hey new forum layout.

Also, news on Christian Folau. He's big on us and high chance he visits us in January. I like our chances with him.
 
we've officially offered Folau, I strongly suspect he'll commit, as woods will stay at UCLA and we'll probably miss out on houston. Though we would take Houston and Folau.
 
per a week old rivals interview...

Mike Farrell of rivals -"Of the 4 schools you've gone on officials to (USC scheduled Jan 16), what Defense do you see yourself fitting in best with?"

John Houston - "It would have to be Oregon or ASU. They have the most aggressive defenses".

He went on to call the Eugene campus "amazing"

MF- "Everybody in the world tells you 100 times a day you're going to USC, what do you have to say about that?"

JH - "I just say you're kind of wrong because at this point I don't know where I'm going... with each visit it's getting harder and harder. Following the last visit (USC), I'm going to take the last two weeks and really think about it and get everything together in my head"

MF - "Of the 4 schools you've visited, which one would be the biggest threat to USC if you had to pick one?"

JH - "Pretty much have to be Oregon. Oregon is a great school. I just like coach Don Pellum. He's a great coach and I just love how he teaches Defense"

MF - "Any package deal with you and Rasheem Green?"

JH - "Nah, not in the works. We're just dealing with our own recruiting right now and we'll get back to each other later on. "

he closed by saying both he and Rasheem will likely be signing day announcements
