This one quacks, too!

If a recruit put that on at the Army All American game or the Under Armour game, he would probably become my favorite recruit.

This^^ I would laugh so hard if someone actually used that.

Shoot, why settle for just a little hat, why don't we get Duck Head out there, do it Corso style!

[WestCoastDux]

You can imagine. Because that sounds like it could be a potential ncaa violation... That would awesome though.

[squintsdd]

That would be awesome! The rumors are that he asked Neuweasel who the assistant coaches were going to be and he didn't answer directly. Colt pressed, but he still wouldn't answer. Colt then told the rest of the recruits to expect a bunch of firings. lol he was right! You couldn't Weasel him!

That really funny, I hope its true!

Man I really hope we land Colt!

Rumors are that the rumor is true

Sources close to the program are rumored to be confirming that the rumored rumors are true.

Are these rumored sources who are rumored to be confirming that the rumored rumors are true the rumored quality that Canzano uses? If so, the rumors may just me rumors. In a manner of speaking.

[jimmy12]

Let's see how many people can one up each other and use rumor in a sentence.... YEAH!!!

[ncduck]

You only used it once. Try harder.

[woundedknees]

So far, rumors have not been confirmed by Cantfindhisown-O's secreted sources... I am sure a little quality time trying to squeeze out an article on the throne of wisdom will allow him to strain his resources to the max, producing a shining drop of wisdon that once again lowers the median IQ among the more regular consumers of the (B)Oregonian.

FYI: DT is has a forum post about a surprise visitor for practice yesterday. Not a member so I can't see who it is, but logically speaking this would seem to validate the notion that Colt was in town. Big news if true.

Yup it was Colt as confirmed by the guys on DT. He was at practice and talking to the coaches

[woundedknees]

So, if Colt was at practice, how is that not a violation?

"Dead period is a time when the college coach may not have any in-person contact with the prospective student-athlete or the prospect’s parents at any time. The coach may write and telephone during this time."

"Hello... I just dropped by to let you know I am going to USC, and wanted to screw your season and reputation at the same time", doesn't seem a likely scenario.

So. I can see it now... A group of Oregon coaches, as well as Colt Lyerla and his family, cell phones in hand, wandering around, silently texting each other as they wander around the facilities, in order to avoid any improprieties.

Hey! I think I just discovered a new LOOPHOLE!

[ncduck]

Maybe he spoke with the coaches via cell phone from the oposite side of the field. Or, maybe this is just a rumor.

Fair question and definitely something that Matt or Justin can find out for us. Perhaps the coaches aren't allowed to go to the athlete but the athlete can come to them? I am just guessing of course but there has to be some sort grey area.

[glazeduck]

No real knowledge here, but recruiting rules state that a coaches can talk to a recruit (during the regular periods) as many times as they want every week, the only stipulation is that THEY CAN ONLY CALL THE RECRUIT ONCE. The recruit has to be the one to contact them the rest of the time.

Using that logic, perhaps it's the same with visiting? Coaches can't contact a recruit but a recruit can voluntarily make contact?
