    Meh. We don't have that many scholarships for next year if I remember correctly. Gonna need top class players.

    you left the part out of the article it seems where 5* O-Lineman Joshua Garnett said he would wait and see, cause if he cut them out when it turns out to be nothing, that would be a mistake.

    who is reaching now?

    I follow this stuff every year and I can honestly say that in football recruiting it's a great time to be a Duck. They have never approached the level of interest from cream of the crop prospects they are enjoying today including high interest from a number of top LBs who are lining up their official visits for the fall... this on the heals of signing at least 5 last year (could be more depending on where super studs French and Lyerla end up). Here are just a few of those who have stated their intention of visiting Eugene for a game day this fall

    Whatever... It's obvious that this is impacting their recruiting. Will they still pull in a good class? Probably. But they're definitely going to lose a couple. BTW Stomp, the Beavs are enjoying their best recruiting season ever. Just thought I'd share that with you...

    their class is expected to be between 20-25... averaged sized

    just my guess, but I don't expect either of the Washington tackles to end up Ducks. Banner is supposed to be enamored with leaving the rain and is supposed to have told those around him he's USC bound & Garnett wants to be a doctor. Though UO has a strong science department, they don't have a medical school. Of course an undergrad can take the required courses and then the MCATs and enroll elsewhere, but I can't recall a Duck football player who was a pre-med major...

    love to be wrong on him though as he's a big time stud

    not really. It's obvious that you hope it does. At the end of the day I think it's going to be a tremendous class as they're already ahead of last year's best ever.

    I knew that already, good for them. But of course this isn't the Beaver forum.

    could it also be "Hey the Ducks are pulling in higher level talent now, and it will be much harder for me to get on the field" so they lose some there too?


    Is anyone arguing for or against that but you? :dunno:

    I also agree, (unfortunately) just wanted to show him what he is leaving out of the article to sway it in his arguments direction.

    when it comes down to it, there is no such thing as bad publicity, the simple fact that oregon is being talked about (recklessly i might add) in the same breath as usc and ohio state puts them on the map even more so to the average recruit i would say
