I hope those that are thinking Barr's decision isn't final and might waiver are not getting their hopes up.

And to think there might be an 18 year old who doesn't always agree with or get excited over the same thing as hos MOMChipKellyKapowski wrote:Barr's mom has been gushing in support of her son's choice on the bear insider forum.

My wife was excited about and encouraged our son over all three of his college choices at that age.
Good thing LOI day is only 49 days away, maybe most people on this site will survive.

Re: There is Talk on the Cal boards
How many parents really get onto a teams fans message board to start typing things about how they feel about their son's decision. It is probably someone pretending to be his mom as I am sure his mother has better things to do with her time, or I would hope she does. Either way if he is wavering and is thinking about becoming a Duck, great, if not so be it, I am sure Oregon will fill their need at DT and maybe even get a surprise or two (just like we did with Ngata and Heimuli)

FWIW, Ethan Grant's Uncle was on the DSA message board last year gushing about Oregon, and saying that he couldn't possibly be a more solid commit, then BAM!!! Grant to TCU.duckydoug wrote:no it was her. she came on after Barr announced and said there would be another commit later in the day. that being Gibson, Barr's close friend. Barr's solid

I'm not saying these rumors are true, I'm just saying that they are very possible.

Re: There is Talk on the Cal boards
I would be highly surprised if its Barr.. or if its anybody for that matter. I am sure there are people that come here from the Cal boards without people realizing it and maybe was a ploy by one or more of them to get hopes up of grabbing one of their recruits since they are probably aware of what is being said on this board. Maybe not.. who really knows... but.. I would not bet on it being Barr or Bigelow since they just committed.... In regards to relatives visiting boards.. I remember quite vividly strangely enough that somebody claiming to be Darron Thomas' mother came on this board after he committed. So it is not beyond the realm of possibility that Barr's mom would be on the bears site. Just my two cents.

Re: There is Talk on the Cal boards
Over the years many parents and relatives of Oregon athletes have posted on other Duck sites message boards. They are encouraged not to by the AD but it happens.GoDucksIn09 wrote:I would be highly surprised if its Barr.. or if its anybody for that matter.

Re: There is Talk on the Cal boards
Figured this was worth dredging up...
Cal fired their WRs coach today.
Jalen Jefferson and Richard Rogers are both guys that we've recruited and that Rivals has us as having offered schollies to.
Maybe it's one of these guys that this thread is referring to? With the commitment of Vaughn and now maybe potentially one of these guys, it could make some sense as to why we've moved on from Kelley?
