    What good is retiring a number if you're just gonna unretire it for the first kid that you desperately want?

    I'm betting they had excellent intelligence he was coming but then remembered what happened to Oregon 20 hours earlier

    I feel sorry for Bowen and his family. They are the stars in a clown show created by media frenzy and a little indecision.

    But...... they did it to themselves. I don't get it. Pick a school, send in your LOI and be done with it. They're doing this to themselves.

    From what I've gathered, Bowen's family (parents) are the main cause of this circus.

    Think about that though?
    If he doesn't there is all this hype until Feb and he's on center stage!

    I don't even know why they'd want their kid to go to either OU or ND after their fans trashed them.

    Maybe he watched the game on 11/26 and liked what he saw?

    Honestly not surprised but stars by a name mean little til you step on the field and play so i wish him the best but he might be a 5 star there or might play like a 3 who knows but hopefully he will learn how to be a man and such. Also not saying this cause he rebuked the Ducks saying this as he seems a tad immature and let others lead him but again GL to him.

    I don't think he cared any about that. His brother obviously didn't

    it's probably that the market for him is very limited. He's not that good of a QB. His brother will be in Eugene, and Corvallis is close. And his dad probably wants an excuse to go to Hawaii a few times a year

    At the micro-level, the stars don't matter argument level can be made. At a macro-level, there is so much data supporting the correlation between recruiting rankings and winning.

    Yes, there are exceptions to this rule, but they are just that, exceptions.

    He liked that the Beavs didn't throw the ball in the 2nd half?

    I think the Beavs can do better than DJU.

    Him wanting to go to Oregon St is conjecture at this point as well, correct?

    I suppose so. Still not sure why this thread isn't labeled OT. Probably because SPD is a duck fans, but that's also conjecture.

    Quarterbacks that struggle prefer a good defense because they can dig them out of a hole. I watched him at Clemson and he was brutal. Beavers did have a better defense than the Ducks this year, I’ll give you that
