B.J. Kelley still high on Oregon

All year long, it seemed like just a matter of time before receiver B.J. Kelley (Fresno, Calif./Central) committed to his long time favorite, the Oregon Ducks. Now things look a little more up in the air.

Kelley is a big time talent and had a huge senior season. His senior film is as impressive as any receiver in the region and he finished the year with 51 catches for 1,223 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Kelley took official visits to Arizona and Arizona State and was hoping to visit Oregon this coming weekend. The plan was to commit to the Ducks while on the visit but those plans may be changing.
Justin on 247 just posted something about Kelley and the next poster responded about us "jerking kids around". I hope they didn't tell him that they are waiting on some other WR's....

If Kelley wants to commit to Oregon - they need to take him. The kid has great speed and excellent hands. He would be an outstanding fit in this offense.
“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”

Chip and the coaches probably told him a while ago that we only have so many spots so you better commit before some of the others do. I would surmise that could be a very good thing in that the Ducks might soon be getting some commits in Farmer, Blackmon, so it's probably Kelly's fault for holding out so long. Now with us going to the natty it's got guys like Farmer much more interested. Hope that's the case. As they say snooze you lose

Here is the rest of the article

"I haven't heard from Oregon in over a month," Kelley said. "Just this week, I called my recruiting coach five or six times to see what was up for the visit and I haven't heard back. If they want to move the visit to another weekend, that's fine but it would be cool to hear back from someone so I know what's up.

"Oregon is still my top school but I haven't closed the door on the other schools talking to me. Northwestern came by last week and Utah and ASU are coming on Wednesday. Hopefully I'll hear something soon so I can figure out what I'm going to do these next couple of weekends."

Unlike most recruiting services, ESPN is pretty legit. They don't usually pull those kinds of stunts. I was subscriber for a short period of time.

Thanks, that was what I was afraid of. Kelley looks like a damn receiver regardless of his "star rating".

It's possible that the coaches now think they have a legitimate shot at Hakeem Flowers (who I assumed was a Michigan lock).

Thats my thinking. If they are kind of ignoring Kelley, they probably think they have a legit shot with bigger WR.

Just my opinion, but if they are dodging his call thats chicken s***. They either need to tell him he is in or they are going to pass on him.

Yeah, that is kind of messed up just straight up ignoring him. Should just tell him they don't want him if true.

Recruiting coach ? Most of the recruits have the coaches #'s, why doesn't he just call himself. Maybe the so called recruiting coach is THE problem. Just hearing one side of the story.

No. Apparently, Ja'Juan Story (current Florida commit) is now interested in Oregon. I'm curious what bumi thinks about this. One thing I don't like about Story is that he's already been arrested before.

If I had to guess, I would say that Michigan, LSU, and Oregon are Flowers' top 3. The possible coaching instability at Michigan may hurt them here.
