I don't put much credit on verbals... I won't be happy until they sign on the dotted line

Which verbals last year backed out of their commit on signing day?

Which verbals last year backed out of their commit on signing day?

the 3* DE who ended up going to Clemson is all who I can think of. Byers?

if you go further back

Chris McCain 4* LB the year before who went to Cal is another recent one I can remember.

And Ethan Grant the RB who decomitted and went to TCU (although that was after Huff Decomitted and came here)

I agree its probably less likely to happen now though as it is a better destination than in years past. But I could understand some Concern.

I just don't want to get my hopes up and have a DeAnthony Thomas happen to us.

There's always that risk but a verbal is just that...a verbal. The player has expressed his word to play for Oregon. I'm not a math guy, but I would estimate this usually means the player ends at Oregon 95% of the time.

If we're looking at it the glass half empty, players, after signing LOI are more likely to not qualify or leave Oregon for personal/health reasons than they are to back out of a verbal -- but, it's always a possibility.
