Blackmon down to 3

Post by dthomas=ddixon »

Blackmon had national offers from schools all over the country but narrowed his choices to Oregon, UCLA and USC. The Bruins were the early leader and there was even talk of a silent commit. The athlete then visited Oregon back in November and strong rumors surfaced that Blackmon could commit to the Ducks any time. Meanwhile, the Trojans have consistently stayed in the race and will get the receivers next official visit.

"I know everyone thinks I'm a lock to go to Oregon right now but honestly, USC and UCLA have just as good a shot too. I like all three of these schools equally and I probably won't decide anything until signing day or real close to it."

With his visit to USC soon, I wouldn't be surprised to hear he's a silent commit to them too. I think Oregon has a good shot but with the LA schools still in it, it's going to be tough.

SC is LOADED at receiver and UCLA is a mess. I'm still very confident he's a duck in the end.

I think he's Oregon's to lose. Just trying to build some hype for when he puts on that Oregon hat (I hope).

um, maybe not everyone but high profile recruits certainly do. everything we've heard from blackmon the last few months indicates he's coming to eugene and is just toying with people so he can announce at his all-star game.

I agree with this.
Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea; cannot touch it, or hold it. Ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss //////// Follow me one Tumblr/blog http://f***-kp.tumblr.com/

Not necessarily....Not all kids that are visiting a school are interested in going to that specific school. Lots of kids just what to take a fun trip to somewhere they haven't seen. Their pretty much treated like royalty, and usually have a blast where ever they go. Who wouldn't want to go on all of their all expense paid trips.
Some of them have never been out of their state before or have never even been on an airplane. Their interested all right... in having fun. Remember Dillion Baxter last year wearing his USC gear just about the whole time up here on his visit.

I agree with this. Free food, parties, girls, BB games or FB games, maybe warm weather. I mean really, who wouldn't take those trips?

Well, here's an example for you. Colvin had no intentions of committing to Miami but he still made the trip.
