first post, welcome! Are you a long time lurker, is Speed Demon a name change, or did you just stumble across our little corner of the web? I hadn't heard that Kyler was staying in touch, where did you read that? Like a great pass first PG, he seems to have a 2nd sense for the game knowing innately where everyone is and what to do with the ball. Definitely a prospect that jumped out at me. Speaking of QBs, 2016 stud Seth Green says he'll be announcing October 17th between Minnesota, Michigan State & UO... I'll be surprised if he doesn't quack. He paid for his own way to camp at Oregon this summer and then returned for the Sparty game with his parents saying afterwords the Ducks led. STOMP
Missouri RB/Safety Marquise Dohery will be visiting November 21st over the Colorado weekend... also recently scheduling a visit that weekend per the rivals database is Byron Cowart. DT strikes out again STOMP
SoCal DT Rasheem Green firms up his OV for the Washington game. Jmo that for Oregon he projects more as a DT in the Armstead Buckner role then as a NT like Balducci. STOMP
How does anyone see that these sanctions come into play? Losing one scholarship is not big deal but I wonder about the paid visit limitations? I think that the last two are hilarious because either A) The NCAA can't enforce it or B) Oregon was doing it already. The football team will face the following penalties: The school will face three years of probation that starts on Wednesday and ends June 26, 2016. The Ducks will lose one scholarship for a new player for the 2013-2014 seasons, meaning they can only offer 24 of the maximum 25 allowed scholarships for new players. The team also forfeited one new scholarship last season. The team will also lose one total scholarship for both the 2013-2014 and the 2014-2015 seasons, meaning they can only have 84 of the maximum 85 total scholarships during that period. The team also forfeited one total scholarship last season. For the next three years the team will only be allowed to host 37 official paid visits for recruits, down from the maximum 56. For the past four years the team has only averaged 41 visits per season. The team will lose “football evaluation days” for the next three years. The team will not be able to use subscription recruiting services during the probation period. The school will have to cut ties with Lyles.
jmo = just my opinion I say that because the kid has a whole lot of speed which would probably be best utilized primarily on the outside rather then interior. STOMP
in addition to that, the past 4 years the Ducks have significantly been behind the pace that they're on this season filling up this class. While kids who've committed rightfully will want to take one of those 37 trips, by their standards they've plenty of trips left over to fill the rest of their needs. I've read some grousing that this or that kid is too much of a longshot to deserve one of their precious trips, but I'm guessing they'll probably have a few unused when alls said and done. Overall things seem to be going great with recruiting. While the sanctions in and of themselves aren't helping matters, having the cloud that was hanging over the program of potentially much stiffer penalties cleared up seems to be the big step forward. Other programs can't be doing the negative recruiting putting doubts into kids minds about Oregon potentially getting a bowl ban etc... STOMP
I heard nothing but doom and gloom from Fhusky fan over the potential sanctions and when they came down, I couldn't wait to throw it back in their faces. These sanctions on face-value doesn't really do anything, if much at all. I wonder how many coaches in the Pac-12 were banking on Oregon getting sanctioned heavily and were let down?
Can't believe that no one's mentioned this, but Oregon landed their first DLine verbal last night, Georgia's Gus Cumberlander. He committed last weekend while taking an OV with Travis Waller who reaffirmed his Duck allegiance STOMP
Assuming Byron visits if he commits we'll take him, just don't think it is likely. Gus will very much be a hit or miss type prospect. High risk reward types.
Just what we need, another 6'6 sub 260 DE who plays off the edge and wont stop the inside run. Recruited not by our D line coach or D Coordinator either... hmmm... Don't you think it's odd that your position coach isn't your primary recruiter? We need DT's and this class is loaded with them! BTW- going after top DT's and signing them are very different things for those who think just putting out the offer is enough. Balducci was the last DT of importance we've signed here and that was three years ago! Oddly we at the same time run a 3-4 a DT's dream if run correctly. Tell me how that's not recruiting and a D scheme problem again? Tell me how with everything Oregon has to offer why top DT's aren't flocking here? Simple answer..... Our D Scheme left the D Tackle out of it and they're going elsewhere. If Green joins Daniel's, South, and Imam Marshall at USC next year to go along with Bigelow, Adore Jackson, McQuay and Cravens.... WATCH OUT! That's a lock down defense and just our luck we start playing them again next year! Oregon has an amazing offense and we recruit just as well, but damn we need new D recruiting ideas and blood!
Bitch bitch bitch. In past years Oregon has divided up the country regionally between it's coaches. I don't know this for a fact, but I'd guess that the SE could be Chinander's. Besides that Chinander is the outside LB coach, which is where Gus would play at his current weight. I'm sure most Duck fans who follow recruiting are pretty stoked to make further inroads into the SE's recruiting hotbed both for this intriguing prospect and beyond. Whats odd is a Duck Fan complaining about landing him. In other news that will be regarded as good by most, athletic Chicago DL Raequan Williams sets his OV for the Colorado weekend 11/21. He'll be visiting with his mother http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1792901/highlights/94298377 STOMP
Once again mouth you're on top of it! Gus has the frame that coaches want to put 35+ pounds on.... know many LB's that are 6'6 285? They want him as a DE so when I say I'm surprised the D Line coach wasn't his primary recruiter that's exactly what I meant!
285? Weren't you just bitching he wouldn't crack 260? And for the umpteenth time, by NCAA rules coaches can't comment on individual recruits, so those outside the coaching loop only have only guesses what the coaches are thinking about where they're projecting him to play. Gus is about the same size as both Christian French and DeForest were coming out of HS, so it follows he could project either spot and Chinander may in fact turn out to be his position coach. I accept that I don't know a whole lot of whats what, you pretend you're all knowing and insult anyone who points to reality... in this case that in past years Oregon has split recruiting up regionally among their coaches and the SE (where Georgia is located) may be outside of Aiken's or Pellum's assigned region. I gather what facts are available and sometimes venture a best guess. You blend Bleacher Report drivel with exaggerations & complete BS and then posture that it's the truth from on high despite being proven wrong again and again. Maybe your guess will turn out to be right this time, but who cares? Why embarrass yourself pretending you alone are in the know when clearly none of us are? STOMP
No! You are the only poster I've ever had an unkind word for on this board! Reason? You respond to people like they are beneath you! I'm not, nor is anyone else here, so start speaking to people with the same amount of respect you expect or I will light you up as I see fit! Got it? Good!
Interior d linemen are a must. Football is won in the trenches. After that, what separates the good from great teams is speed. However, without size, you are an also ran before you start
according to our football know it all, Oregon's DLine coach can't recruit or coach. Never mind that Coach Aiken has had 17 years of college and 6 in the pros as a D coordinator, Swim Block has spoken. You know who hasn't got the word? 3* Raequan Williams 6-6 280 November 21 5* Byron Cowart 6-3 252 November 22 5* Keisean Lucier-South 6-6 220 October 31 5* Josh Sweat 6-5 240 October 31 4* Russell Ude 6-3 264 October 31 5* Rasheem Green 6'4 290 October 18 3* Drayton Carlberg 6-5 281 October 18 3* Rex Manu 6-3 290 September 5 4* Canton Kaumatule 6-7 290 October 31 4* Neville Gallimore 6'3 305 Nov 1st Can anyone else recall a recruiting cycle with even half of those top DLine prospects visiting Eugene... I can't. In addition, 6'4 298 4* Terry Beckner Jr is supposed to visit Eugene in Dec or Jan but isn't setting any of his OVs or even talking recruiting until his HS season is completed. Thank goodness we live in reality eh? STOMP
