Serra Trio Recruiting News

[vagusnerve]

Farmer would be a coup. But it sounds like Lee is more likely.

If we can get one of BJ Kelly or Blackmon, and another big bodied WR to go along with Sumler, we will be all good.

Just imagine if Farmer and Blackmon both cam to Oregon... i know it's a dream, but I bet at least one of them would be a top 3 WR next year as a true freshman.

[Boom]

Sounds great but our team is still in Eugene and competing with USC will always be difficult because of LA, its local, the weather and its LA! With that being said we are a different program than in the past so maybe we turn the recruiting corner and snag more than our fair share of high level of recruits than we have in the past...time will tell but like you, I'm optimistic!

Look at Miami's class. That's what mediocrity gets you.

Your kidding me right? Once they finish filling up their class they will easily be in the top 15. Just like every other year..... and when was the last time they were relevant?

Location > Success

get used to it.

There are some bigger body WRs we are in on such as BJ Kelley and the JCs Anthony Denham & Rahsaan Vaughn. Kelley & Vaughn are scheduled for the UA game on 11/26. Denham is a stud at 6'6 215, but very little said about him lately. He has an offer from us.

Ok.

SIgned Texas A&M & Cal

Btw, Miami didn't have a top 15 class last year nor in 07. There's been a noticible drop off in their recruiting efforts, especially in comparison to their classes in the early parts of last decade. When they were what? Winning. But don't worry, we'll pretend as if you know what you're talking about.

It's on his twitter, I'd hardly call that stalking. I always appreciate someone going to extra mile to get info.

That, and I'm in his age group. But, hey, young people never communicate on twitter.

That's debatable........ ESPN had them ranked 13th in '10, 7th in '09, 1st in '08, and 9th in '07. They have been mediocre at best during that time period.

You're the one pretending

And Rivals had them 19th, 5th, 14th, and 16th. This season, they're at 38, and Bridgewater is looking elsewhere. On scout? 13th, 3rd, 24th, 14th, and now 45th. A far cry from their anual top 10 class in the earlier parts of last decade.

But as I said, we'll allow you to keep on pretending. No drop off at all.

P.S. You ignored the Cal and Texas A&M reference. If location trumps all, why don't either of those teams recruit well?

Cal recruits very well and out-recruited UO last year even though UO went to the rose bowl against tOSU and Cal went to some lesser bowl against Utah. That's a perfect example of his point.

Boom is correct, location will always play a huge factor; however, it is obviously not the be-all end-all as this year is a nice example.

Berkeley is a bad location? It's right next to Oakland and De La Salle (arguably the biggest powerhouse in California) is only 30 minutes away. San Francisco is also right across the Bay. LA is an hour away by plane.

College Station (A&M) is 2 hours from Houston, 3 hours from Dallas, and 3 hours from San Antonio.

It sounds like Blackmon had an outstanding visit and we may have a legitimate shot at him.

Cal recruits very well? They were 10th last season, 42nd in 09, 34th in 08, and 22nd 07. That's mediocre at best.

And I agree, location does play a part, but it isn't more important than winning, as Boom claimed.

You're arguing my point.

[Tray Dub]

I think you guys are both off. I think tradition tends to be the best bellwether for how a team generally recruits. That's why Notre Dame can have great classes year after year. It's why Oregon is now in its third year of being in the top ten, and we still haven't seen a recruiting class that matches our rankings (even with elite facilities). That's why USC can still recruit, and BSU and TCU still can't (though they can scout amazingly well). It's not about location, and it's not entirely about win/loss, though that is a factor, it's about program prestige.
