Re: Are we making a move on Westerman?
chances of Westerman are very low so let's not get our hopes up. Not being a negative nancy, just looking at the situation and realizing the chances are almost at zero. If he visits, maybe, but that's a reach as of now.

It's not like OL is a position where Oregon still needs guys. The 3 OL commits so far are what Oregon needs for this class.hines wrote:chances of Westerman are very low so let's not get our hopes up.

Re: Are we making a move on Westerman?
I'll be honest. I'm mainly interested in Westerman from a star gazing standpoint. I would love to land another 5***** recruit but as it is, I'm completely satisfied with our OLine recruits that we already have.

Re: Are we making a move on Westerman?
Belief is not certainty until it is proven. Confidence is not arrogance until an unlikely truth is confirmed. We try so hard to make our individualism and unfounded statements seem God like but in the end we are all fallible, we are all human, and the game does not end until the buzzer rings and the winners are standing in the winner's circle. I love my ducks, let the others eat cake!!!

Re: Are we making a move on Westerman?
You never know what is under a person's skin, or what makes 'em tick, especially on an internet message board.
I happen to appreciate of the info Hines brings to the table, in his own unique way.
I knew a gentleman named Joe when I was a kid... He grew up around a moonshine camp, up in the Mohawk Valley. His sister was one of the sweetest, most soft-spoken women I have ever met (She was my baby-sitter, in her 60's when I was a young kid in Sunday school.). I cannot recall a harsh word ever passing her lips in my presence.
Joe? Not so much!
That guy used profanity, in it's various forms, as punctuation for nearly every conversation... Salt of the earth kind of guy, who would give yo the shirt off his back if he thought you needed it, but a mouth like a sewer.
The only time I ever heard him go more than 30 seconds without swearing was while visiting his sister's house. She looked out the window, saw her preacher coming up the walk, turned, and pointed her finger at Joe.
For nearly an hour, Joe was the politest conversationalist you ever heard.
The second the door clicked shut behind the pastor, Joe lit up the air in that room in a manner that threatened to blister the paint off the walls.
Takes all kinds, I guess.

Re: Are we making a move on Westerman?
Just commenting on the constant whining about Hines... If you know you don't like what he says, or the way he says it, nobody is forcing you to read, or respond to him.
As far as Westerman goes, IMO, if he visits, Oregon has a 50/50 shot at his services.
I find it hard to believe his parents would move here if he commits... Wasn't there some high profile recruit whose family suggested something similar last year?

I saw on twitter that Westerman is now likely headed to Auburn.

Re: Are we making a move on Westerman?
To all the peeps who say we have enough o-linemen already and like the recruits already committed, there is a reason we lost the NC game, and it was because our O-line wasn't strong enough against a D-line that was stronger and as fast, if not faster than us.
So, I will always welcome another upgrade at O-line in terms of recruiting any day of the week, month, year, ever...
