still def some talent in California dont worry. The Robinson twins Tyree and Tyrell, also Tahaan Goodman is still out there. Sometimes we get cream of the crop type "higher rated" type players like DAT and Devon Blackmon from CA, but alot of times we get the "left over" kids... and a lot of the times those "leftover" kids have BIG chips on their shoulder, eager to show what SC missed out on.
Oh yeah we stil got Goodman, and now with a crowded backfield he'll shirk away from them :V And whose to say that USC won't experience another DAT?
as much as I would love those year after year... but those type of flips are very far between. DAT was a USC "lock" since like 6th grade. Maybe more of those will happen with continued and sustained success
fortunately with the increased success, exposure, and success of Texas kids, we dont have to be 95% reliant on California kids. on the 247 free chat here are a few targets left on the board that as Matt Prehm put it Ricky Seals-Jones Tyrell Robinson Tyree Robinson Derrick Green Torrodney Prevot Tahaan Goodman James Quick Alvin Kamara Adding these kids seem to be legitimate options, and would make for a stellar class added with what we already have.
I recently read a recruiting article that touched on more top kids committing early then ever this year and to USC in particular. The thought was that their fewer scholarship offers was making kids commit now in fear of not having that option come signing day. If this is true, we may see more guys switching programs then usual too... two of USC's commits are said to have scheduled all 5 OVs after they verbaled STOMP
I didnt read an article but in a comments sections somewhere I read something along those lines too. With limited scholarships they could be saving their place in the class. Thanks for reminding me
Huh. True. Nice to know STOMP. So there's only 2 spots left on USC's scholarships then I assume? (Dunno why you get hassled really. You don't deserve it)
A question, why haven't we offered Tahann Goodman yet? I mean, USC has 2 safeties, and he's hte #2 safety in the country right? Oregon shouldn't allow a SoCal talent get away to like, LSU or Florida. Same with Laquan Treadwell.
thats what he's claimed all along... tOSU is probably ahead of the Ducks as well. His main knock against Oregon is the distance from home. The first step to overcoming this is getting him out West on an OV. The longer he doesn't commit the better the chances that he's in Eugene for a game in the fall. STOMP
Uh... That's an odd college choice for Scott. I mean, that's quite a distance. IS the idea of playing with Nkemdiche appealing I assume? I honestly thought he'd be a shoe-in at LSU or Stanford. How come he didn't want to play West?
I guess he's got family there too. I lived part of my childhood in North Carolina... it's nice. the highly rated DT thats still on the board is Jaynard Bostwick out of Florida. He's maintained Miami as his #1 and Oregon #2 for some time. The U is pretty sure to get absolutely hammered by the NCAA in the not so distant future. Here's hoping he makes it out west for the Washington weekend STOMP
Got a source that he has family in NorCar? It would be awesome if Oregon gets Jaynard and the brothers Robinson(because they won't get into USC now due to small scholarships and tons of WRs). And I don't get how people like The U anyway. They've been irelevant over the last several years unlike FSU and Florida. Also, 247sports says ORegon has an offer for Tahann Goodman(is he interested in Oregon? Because signs point to him not going to USC due to Cravens and Redfield), yet Rivals doesn't. Conundrum? And what were to happen if Silas Redd check out Oregon and likes it? Him, Barner, and DAT would be quite lethal.
a quote from Scott on rivals... no idea I don't see it happening as Oregon runs a different system then he's used to. Since he's a Jr. with NFL aspirations, he's probably looking for a school that runs a pro set like he's used to STOMP
Ah okay. I mean UO could seriously use a star safety when JB goes into the draft next year. Why not Goodman? So him and USC/Stanford would be a match I assume?
Hargreaves has committed to Florida. He's gonna be a Gator. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Vernon-Hargreaves III-123483 Shame they won't reach the level of power they had when Meyer and Tebow were running the show. Edit: On Jaynard, how come we don't have an offer for him yet?
