Great. We probably have one of the worst recruiting classes now in the Pac-12. No one wants to come here Why why why
I think every coach in the country is telling top recruits Chip is on the way out and that's not what top prospects want to hear when committing 4 years of their lives somewhere. Can't be because we're not winning, cool uniforms, best facilties and so on..... I think it all points to Chip not knocking down the NFL ongoing rumors! What else could it be that would leave us with 10 recruits two month shy of signing day as the #2 team in the nation and undefeated?
they'll probably end up with another top 15 class again this year. Right now rivals has them #9 overall (after LSU and before Michigan) if you're comparing amount of stars per player. One of rivals top national recruiting guys (Mike Farrell) recently projected them as the favorite to land Redfield and co-fav on McQuay (along with Vandy). Right now a lot of top talent thats interested in Oregon can't make games because of their proximity to Eugene and the fact that their HS teams are still in the playoffs. Besides that, CK has stated publicly many times a preference for guys coming in for OVs after Oregon's season is over so that he and the staff can devote time to them. The last couple of years they've brought in and closed on a ton of highly rated talent after their season was complete including Addison, Armstead, Buckner, Fisher & De'Anthony A year from now, try to remember that this is how they do it before falling to gloom and doom STOMP
I doubt it affects things very much. Just reflecting on the things that kids typically point to as reasons they choose a school, current record ranks well down the list. STOMP
True: Ole Miss and Arizona have decent recruiting classes. So, who wants to sit back and watch USC lose all their precious recruits?
247 has 7 who they think Oregon will get here is a copy and paste, note no OL or LB's listed. Tarean Folston, RB, Cocoa (Fla.) The Top247 running back made his second official visit over the weekend. After visiting Notre Dame in October, Oregon had the versatile prospect on campus over the weekend as the Ducks try to play catch-up to the nations top ranked program. DuckTerritory.com analyst Justin Hopkins on Folston’s recruitment: “Folston visited Eugene over the weekend giving Oregon a serious shot to impress the four-star back. It's hard to get a real gauge where things stand with Folston as he often declines interviews. Oregon has been close to 'pulling the plug' and walking away from Folston on more than one occasion only to have him reach out to the staff and express his sincere interest. As Jason Sapp from BlueAndGold.com reports, Notre Dame appears to be the biggest competition to the Ducks for the signature of the nation's No. 118 prospect.” John Ross, WR, Long Beach (Calif.) Poly The speedy slot receiver prospect has made only one visit thus far, to Oregon in early October. While the Ducks remain the leader for the 5-foot-9, 165-pound ultra quick prospect, he will likely make visits to at least two more Pac-12 programs before making a decision. Hopkins on Ross’ recruitment: “Ross visited Oregon on Oct. 6 and it's been all Ducks ever since. The word floating around is Ross would like to be a part of the 2013 class for Oregon but his parents are suggesting he take other visits still. UCLA and Washington figure to be the biggest competition to the Ducks, both of which he has visited at one point or another.” Thomas Duarte, TE, Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei The recruitment of flex tight end Thomas Duarte is likely a two horse race. The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder appears to be headed for UCLA or Oregon decision with many believing Oregon is the team to beat, but the Bruins are clearly trending. Hopkins on Duarte’s recruitment: “Like Folston, Duarte has kept a pretty tight lid on his recruitment. But the latest suggests this is an Oregon-UCLA battle and the Ducks could be the team to beat. Oregon is pretty deep at the wide receiver position but Duarte has size and speed to be a big target off the edge. Blocking is a key factor in every wide receiver Oregon targets.” Daniel Etuale, DT, American Samoa The 6-foot-5, 285-pound Etuale is not known or talked about much in recruiting circles, but he is one of the top targets on the Ducks defensive board. All that stands between Etuale being a Duck is a qualifying test score, which could come this month. Hopkins on Etuale’s recruitment: “One of the least talked about recruits is defensive line target Daniel Etuale. Etuale graduated high school in American Samoa and is not currently enrolled anywhere. He recently took the SAT and is waiting on a qualifying score, which he should receive around Nov. 20. If he gets his score, he will be a Duck and will enroll in December.” Sione Sina, WDE, San Mateo (Calif.) College of San Mateo The 6-foot-4, 245-pound junior college prospect visited Oregon in October, and remains the team to beat. As it currently stands, Chip Kelly and staff will have to fight off a Pac-12 and SEC program in the next month for the spring enrollee. Hopkins on Sina’s recruitment: “Junior college defensive end Sione Sina visited Oregon in October. He is expected to take official visits to Oregon State, Texas A&M and possibly Cal before graduating in December. Oregon remains the team to beat and Sina would come in and compete for the vacant hybrid role by a graduating Dion Jordan.” Max Redfield, S, Mission Viejo (Calif.) The former USC commitment recently visited Notre Dame and many believe the Fighting Irish are the team to beat. With that said, the 6-foot-3, 195-pounder will visit Oregon in the coming weeks and the Ducks are very much in the thick of it for the Top247 prospect. Hopkins on Redfield’s recruitment: “Redfield recently de-committed from USC in order to have the chance to officially visit Oregon. Most felt Notre Dame led following his trip to South Bend, but the Ducks are trending. Before Redfield committed to USC in July, the Ducks and Trojans were his top two schools.” Gareon Conley, Ath., Massillon (Ohio) Washington The Michigan commitment continues to say he would like to take official visits to Oregon and Ohio State. The issue at hand is the fact Michigan would likely cut the Top247 prospect loose if he sets foot on another campus. Hopkins on Conley’s recruitment: “Although Conley is still considered a Michigan commit, he has publicly stated he will take other visits which would likely end that agreement. If he does take his visits, as he indicates he will, it would either be Oregon or Ohio State landing the Top247 prospect. Conley has been offered to play corner or receiver by both programs.”
not that it means anything definite, but attached is a pic of Max Redfield leaving his HS stadium after friday's game. btw, they won which probably pushes his OV date back into December STOMP
It really doesn't mean a whole lot, he had tons of Oregon gear before the USC commit. it was probably a cold day.
How and why does he have Washington in his top 4. I'd have UCLA, ND, Oregon and Stanford if I was him. Seriously :/
Tosh must be hitting the X-Box hard with him. Who doesn't want to play in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl against an ACC team?
If I had a coach trying to play X-box with me...I'd be creeped out a little. I would rather focus on a coach that wants to help me get better on and off the field, ala CK or Saban or Mora or Shaw.
Current rumors are we are out with Conley, Ross, Mitchell, Ragin, (which if you note already takes away one of the players the 247 people were sure we would get.
For a coach that puts Win the Day and team first, maybe he should take some of his own advice and stop looking to upgrade his college duck cheerleader with a NFL Cheerleader every year! Chip's lack of conviction about the Ducks is the problem! If he bolts to the NFL and leaves the cupboards this bare in recruiting, that says to me this guys ego is bigger than the team and Oregon is better off without him. It also says to me that he's only been using Oregon as a stepping stone for the pros since he got here! I for one am getting sick of Chip's constant NFL flirting, shit or get of the pot Kelly! NO national championships, no perfect seasons, and four years of head coaching experience! The NFL will eat Chip's AHoy Alive!
Not if he goes to the Eagles. He could turn that team around. Back on topic: Who should we go after desperately now?
