Scout drops Danny Shelton to 3 stars

Not getting that last unofficial visit with his mom killed us. He'll be a husky unless that happens.

Sucks that his family couldn't make it down, but him likely leaning towards UW is probably opening the door for someone like Jon Lewis to come to Oregon. I can't believe how many players keep on going to UW when they are not going to be anywhere near Oregon's level for several more years.

location location location. not sure why this keeps surprising people. please stop thinking that winning is everything to 17 yr. olds because it doesn't and never will. once some of you realize that simple little fact, recruiting and where a player goes will make sense.

And once you start actually conversing with us more and stop being a rude, hit-and-run poster, then I will listen to you.

Uhm he isnt all Udub...Last time I herd we were leading, we dont know whats going on. Maybe mom is convinced and she doesnt need to come down. And his brother was with him and he is just as big a part of this decision as she is.

It doesn't surprise us. I think we were all just expecting him to take an additional unofficial visit to UO with his mom, which WOULD have made a big difference.

greenyellow, to the average reader, your comment to hines could be considered rude. Why would anyone want to "converse" more on the boards if they are belittled and put down with every post? I personally find hines at times to very conversant, even if he is a bit curt at times.
hines, I agree with you on location. Through the 70's & 80's, why did anybody with talent choose to go to Oregon? In some cases I know they came because they had always loved the Ducks. I can see this mentality in recruits going to dub, wassou, or even Beaverland.

[woundedknees]

IIRC, the biggest recruiting weekend experienced by slavering Duck fans also occurred the last time the Ducks were able to employ a chartered jet to pick up the prospects and deliver them to campus for visits.

Strange how ease of access enters the equation, is it not?

I do believe a winning tradition will eventually ease the location problem, but it won't happen overnight.

It's a little annoying that he shows up just to say that we know nothing about recruiting and acts like he's the only one who knows what is going on. I wouldn't have a problem if he actually talked with us in like Kelly's Heroes or Matthew Knight Arena about the actual teams he claims to follow.

annnnnnd hes a husky
damn

[karlhungis]

How long until that 4th star magically reappears?

[greenyellow]

Looks as if Oregon has some DL coming as Brennan Scarlett said he's open to Oregon but they told him they have players coming their way. Lyerla may announce at the US Army AA Game but more than likely will do it a week after.

Well, they must be pretty solid recruits if we are turning away a 4 star instate kid. It should be exciting. And if we lose Lyerla to Cal, my oh my this place will melt down.

Lyerla is not going to Cal in all likelihood. We can safely say he'll end up at either Oregon or USC.

[vagusnerve]

Well that is an interesting quote.

The article also mentions that Lyerla can't commit until he's "greenlighted" by Oregon and/or USC.

Since the Ducks really, really need at least 2, but probably 3, Dlinemen with the potential to play relatively early, it seems like we must have a silent commit or two on the Dline. Otherwise, why would a coach take themselves out of the top 5 list of a 4* instate kid????
