Has anyone heard any updates on the rest of those recruits? I would really love to land Barr and Simmons!

From the brief updates we've heard on Lee, DBlack, Farmer, etc. it's sounding positive for them.

Not that I know anything specific or 'insiderish', but from everything that I've read and heard, I wouldn't hold your breath too long on Barr. I want that kid badly too, but he sounds like he's been essentially a Cal commit for a long time. Doesn't mean things can't change, especially w/ a blowout this weekend, but just about everything you read about Barr says he's pretty much all Cal.

Don't know anything about Simmons or any of the other visits...

Actually I saw a post on another site saying Barr and his parents were seen loading up on Oregon t's and hats. That poster generally has pretty good info.

I don't think that a kid loading up on free schwag really means that he is going to commit or anything. Free gear is free gear.

Really? I thought that was one of the cool things about official visits was that you got a lot of free gear. I guess I thought wrong.

They dont get free gear. Have to buy it, the stuff they are wearing during the game they have to give back.

Well, the kid sure does talk a whole lot about Oregon. Hopefully he isn't just playing the game.

From his twitter 5 min ago. "IM SO THankful for all my oregon lovers and welcoming me in the FAM! MUCH LOVE IS FROM MY HEART! I mean it too! " Good sign?

[karlhungis]

Well, he is on record with naming a top school. Pay content but I have to assume it is the ducks.

LOL, people must be bored today. I've never seen so much hype on this board over 1 recruit.

"If we can get 700-1000 [followers],ill sign the letter of intent right now,nd climbon top of autzen stadium nd scream at the top of my lungs Im a duck!"

He's gaining followers rapidly and I kind of want to see what'll happen when he does get to 1000

It's not so much even that now. The Serra trio has kind of been thrown in as well since it seemed like Blackmon got pretty close with them on their visit.

Come on now, you were here last year right? This is nothing.

[karlhungis]

Well, he is already up to 593 people following him. Looks like the LOI should come tomorrow... lol

Asking for twitter followers is a violation?

Yeah his tweet about 700-1000 and signing the LOI I think was a joke but none the less

[autzenzoo]

LOL at all this twitter and 1000 followers stuff. I just like the guy's enthusiasm for Oregon, not to mention he's a hell of a ball player!

[karlhungis]

Convenient that he stops before he hit 700.

D_BLACK12: I'm not commited to any college, I'm just enjoying the recruiting process tht ncaa allows us to go thru!

He also mentions he didnt know talking to UO fans on twitter was an NCAA violation. So someone slapped his wrist it sounds like. Hope all the people that talked to him and got him in trouble didnt sour his opinion on the Ducks.
