Tennesee is scheduled to play at Autzen I think next year, Georgia had a home and home scheduled with us for like 2016 but cancelled shortly after we dismantled Tennessee in Knoxville, Florida doesnt travel. I heard a stat once that the furthest Florida has traveled for an out of conference game since like 1992 is something like 60 miles.
I think the only way I can do the changes on the Original Post would be to continue editing PapaG's post, which I dont mind doing if he is ok with that part. And I would only be able to continue doing that if I wasnt removed as a mod, so hopefully I dont slip up and get as a mod before next February
ding ding ding ....Winnah! Anyone who has followed recruiting for a while knows that the amount of stars a recruit has coming out of HS from some rating company guarantees nothing. Stars certainly don't mean squat to Chip as he has far better access then those services to judge whats really what. There are many recent examples at Oregon of highly rated players being passed by guys who arrived with far less acclaim. Guys are still physically developing at age 18 and the talent pecking order changes. How hard a recruit works and how focused they are at honing their skills makes a big difference too. While I always have a few favorites in each class, I don't kid myself that I actually know who's going to emerge... I'm going to enjoy the ride whether it's Arik or Terrance Daniel. That said, in news that will be sure to please those here who are fixated on stars, Oregon just offered SoCal Safety Max Redfield. I already relayed it once, but Max recently stated that USC and Oregon are his co-favs at this point [video=youtube;ZSFXA52OO6s]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSFXA52OO6s[/video] STOMP
Oregon is having a mini-Jr. Day of sorts this weekend for the local prospects. I don't have a definitive list of who's attending, but it's probable a few more offers are extended including a likely one to Evan Voeller... I'm sure everyone is pulling for the local kid. A much bigger Jr. day for the national recruits will happen over the Spring game weekend at the end of April. STOMP
All I'm saying is Oregon looks now like it's making a defense that resembles the NY Giants with size and length.... I think that's a good thing... DeForest, AA, Biar and others will all put on muscle and weight in the next few years with a real weight and nutrition program, and the good thing is they already are trees.. I see this as a win,win!! Hell I grew 2 more inches in college... Imagine AA, DeForest at 6'10.... As for 5* and being in love with that system? I agree it can be flawed and many don't pan out... That said, the Mamba and Colt are both 5* and they are worth their billings! Wouldn't you agree? I also think AA and Thomas Tyner will be legends for the O. These are great problems to have! PtldPlatypus... I've not harped on our players AT ALL! Stomp asked me an opinion about some players and I answered it. Read all the way through before attacking k? Thx!
6'3 280lb Hawaiian DT Scott Pagano has been blowing up getting early offers from most of the Pac 12 including Oregon. I haven't been able to find public video on him that I can post here, but trust me the one on rivals is really impressive... he's the proverbial bull in a china shop Also, rivals is relaying that West Linn OLineman Evan Voeller just got his Duck offer STOMP
Stomp..... you ask me a question several times about players, knowing that you're looking to bait more than discuss as always, I answer it with skepticism! From that my writing style is flagged "vitriol" by "YOU OF ALL PEOPLE"? You might want to understand the definitions of the words you use. I've shown no extreme hatred or bitterness in speech to anyone..... but pseudo intellectual trying to win double scrabble words points is coming to mind for you as of late. Grab your Webster's, and try again! HAHAHA! Better yet, just ignore me, I'm about Duck football, you're here to irritate people on an Anonymous Message Board .... WOW! STOMP,BULLY, whatever you want to call yourself... Laters!
you're the one whining about being "attacked" silly, when all the poster did was turn your own words on you to express their opinion. My use of the word vitriol was fine as I was being sarcastic about the notion of you being attacked by your own mean words... such a surprise that you didn't pick up on this. as far as your answer to my DE question, you came back with theories about how 245-260 lb guys were "too small" compared to the 230lb guy you trumpet. You claim that Buckner is fast (5.03 40 time), but Lake (4.8), Kamp (4.9) and Washington (4.7) were all credited with faster 40s coming out of HS. All three also had excellent GPAs in HS ranging from 3.3 to 3.6... as a UO grad, I like that. In general I'm rooting for all the young Ducks, not just this year's crop, so I'd hardly be disappointed if Buckner comes on strong. But for the sake of discussion I'm making the case for the bigger faster and more experienced players ahead of DB who you seem to know nothing about. whatever you say I'm trying to inject a little bit of reality into your fantasy world. As the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink... oh well STOMP
I see..... I answer a question you asked me several times to answer with my opinion and it doesn't meet "your" standards so it's "nonsense" or "fantasy' or whatever else you can think to say.... I said 6'7 is bigger than 6'3 and that seemed strange to you as well.... I said we need size on the D line in "my opinion" and that by you and PtldPlatypus was an attack on our players and our coaching decisions, even though everyone the Ducks have recruited on the D line this year except for Balducci is 6'5 +.... That might also tell ya the coaches are seeing things more my direction than yours....hmmm...Let's "REMEMBER" all this coming from "YOUR" original question, you keeping up with this Sparky? Soooooo..... either you can't read, don't "REALLY" want another opinion, or you're just an internet bully, whatever it may be this entire outcome has come from you PESTERING me about my "opinion" on some undersized D Line guys.... 6'2 and 6'3 is short for D line... Sorry if you disagree! We'll see who starts... Now go kick a puppy or do whatever a guy calling himself STOMP does! Laters...
DLineman under 6'5 recruited this past cycle included 6'4 Adolphus Washington, 6'4 Eddie Goldman, 6'2 Faith Ekakitie, 6'4 Darius Hamilton, 6'3 Aziz Shittu, 6'3 Justin Solis, 6'2 Sheldon Day, 6'3 Vincent Valentine & 6'1 DE Jeremy Castro. One of their two DLine offers out right now is to 6'3 DT Scott Pagano. it tells me you truly don't know what you're talking about the coaches have said many times that they like longer taller players along their DLine, but quite clearly their actions show thats hardly the end all be all deciding factor. If the coaches saw things more your direction (whoever is tallest and has the most stars is best), they wouldn't be starting 6'3 2* Wade Keliikipi above 6'5 4* Ricky Heimuli, 6'6 3* Isaac Remington while having 6'5 4* Jared Ebert Redshirt. Why did they continue to start 6'3 Terrell Turner while having 6'4 Lake Koa Ka-ai & 6'5 Sam Kamp Redshirt if 6'3 is too short in their view? I thought that 6'5 Kamp & 6'4 Lake were too short, what changed? feel free to disagree with Kelly and Allioti, I'll continue side with their judgment and enjoy the ride. Maybe you should write them and explain why they've got it all wrong awwww, someone needs a nap... I'm off to play some hoops STOMP
This is very simple STOMP! Don't make this so hard. Be accountable here! You asked me my "OPINION" on several players SEVERAL times. I finally with skepticism answered your now PROVEN taunt to only be ridiculed for answering your questions. Than you pepper your posts with insulting adjectives describing my lack of football knowledge mulitple times yet again, while spicing it up further with mental diagnosis, truly classy btw. If you don't want others opinions or are only doing it to taunt them into some sort of Stomp Session to make you feel better about whatever goes on in your day, than don't ask others for their opinions. Fair enough? As for have the Ducks, they've gotten much taller on the defensive line with this current class as I've suggested multiple times. Clever to go back a year to try and strenghten your weak arguement though. HAHA! I think Chip and Allioti are going the exact direction I thought they'd go. It takes a Rose Bowl win, true national exposure and the reality that the SEC isn't getting any smaller so if we plan to win it all ,these steps must be taken. I don't care if you agree on this or not. The CURRENT RECRUIT proof is here..... Bair 6'8, AA 6'8, DeForest Buckner 6'7, Cody Carriger 6'6, Terence Daniel 6'6, Evan Bayliss 6'5, Laters.....
back to your regularly schedule programming. from Nkemdiche's twitter https://twitter.com/#!/electus_1
oh please with the innocent victim BS. Your posts are regularly insulting to anyone who doesn't agree with your convoluted nonsense, and you've thrown quite a few direct insults my way in this little back and forth. You dish it out but can't take it Someone can hold the opinion that up is down, but they'd be laughably wrong. Claiming that the SEC defenses have 3-4 inches and 100 pounds per man over Oregon's is worthy of ridicule especially considering LSU's dominant, yet smaller then Oregon, D. As the saying goes, you're entitled to your own opinion but you don't get your own set of facts. I'm trying to help you get your facts straight You stated they didn't recruit one DLineman under 6'5 in the last cycle. I listed 9 and there were more. It's not very clever of you struggling to connect these dots forget about me, reality doesn't agree with you. LSU's defense was smaller then Oregon's and yet they dominated the SEC. It's about talent not height Those guys were 2012 Oregon recruits who committed. The sub 6'5 guys I listed in my previous post were 2012 Oregon recruits who didn't commit. Most of those guys I listed were 4 & 5* recruits. Accept reality that Kelly/Allioti recruited talented DLineman in Arik's class who were as short as 6'1 Jeremy Castro who Oregon not only recruited but offered and accepted his verbal commitment. Or, feel free to continue to ignore reality in favor of your theories and prove something entirely different then what you're intending STOMP
