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

    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.
