I like this board better than eDuck, at least in terms of just being about hard news for fans, and being able to share personal experiences as a Duck fan. The S2 format is so user-friendly, I'll try and recruit some posters from another board here. Not eDuck, though. Keep up the good work! STOMP should probably be a mod as well, and he won't believe I endorse him!
cool thanks. Probably nothing.. I just read a few things on DT which made it sound like there was late interest being shown from him.
Def bring over all you can/want. I've been getting kinda bored with nothing to moderate here this place has been kinda a ghost town since the Natty.
I'm hearing multiple sources say that Lake Koa Ka'ai committed to Oregon last night. Waiting to hear some news, and it appears Justin Hopkins from Duckterritory is going to make an announcement on the situation here soon.
Lake does indeed commit per rivals and others http://rivals.yahoo.com/oregon/football/recruiting/player-Lake-Koa-Ka'ai-115413 STOMP
here's an example of another Hawaiian 3* lineman time will tell how good a player Lake turns out to be... it's sort of hard for the recruiting services to accurately gauge the Hawaiian kids as the overall competition isn't that good and of course it's a long ways to go for them to evaluate players. But I'm a big fan of establishing a recruiting pipeline/tradition in the Pacific Islands as the Samoans are generally huge kids. They also come from smaller towns so the athletes who project to a D1 level are probably more prone to liking a smaller college town like Eugene. Because of this hope of mine, I've got my fingers crossed that Mariota eventually emerges as a star. again, I suggest taking a look a MM's Sr. highlight tape that I linked earlier STOMP
http://oregon.scout.com/a.z?s=128&p=8&c=1&nid=5003621 On Scout they have him as a 4 star. As you can also see, USC and Stanford saw enough of what they liked that they both offered him a scholarship.
decent weather this weekend showing off the University for the various recruits in town. Fans sure showed them the love at yesterday's parade pretty likely we'll add a couple more names to the list in the following days. Supply and demand factors with the limited amount of spots left may be coming into play STOMP
WR BJ Kelley is a Duck http://rivals.yahoo.com/oregon/football/recruiting/player-B.J.-Kelley-114932 STOMP
Awesome. Great pickup and look forward to seeing Kelley a Duck. Here are some highlights. [video=youtube;wf14l_bIlG0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf14l_bIlG0[/video]
looks like devon blackmon isn't too happy about another WR commit: "Oregon is getting the same amount receivers as Usc, lol I mines well stay in cali, #Sheesh" Per twitter.
That kid is the biggest attention whore. I really wouldn't be surprised if he switched his commit. Does he think he'll come in and get minutes right away?
not sure, but I could see how (the hope of) early PT could be something that keeps your mind off of being a thousand miles away from friends and family. I wouldnt stress about what was said. If a kid doesnt want to be here because of competition... then its probably for the best for both sides. (not singling him out in this, that goes for any recruit)
