Scarlett, Lyerla update

[pdxduck]

Nothing new really I guess but a few interesting quotes.

http://highschoolsports.oregonlive.com/ ... decisions/

“I've got it down to five – Notre Dame, Stanford, Cal-Berkeley, USC and UCLA,” Scarlett said.

Oregon was on his list, Scarlett said, “but I got a call and they told me that they had guys coming their way, so I'm guessing they have a lot of guys to commit to their scholarships.”

His father, Paul Scarlett, said Brennan is keeping an open mind about the Ducks.

“Oregon is still of interest to Brennan,” he said. “It's still an awesome place, and certainly that would be of consideration, at least on our end.”


Lyerla played host to Kiffin and Oregon's Chip Kelly at the high school in mid-December. He has narrowed his list to USC, Oregon and California, according to Drake.

“California kind of came in late,” Drake said. “He was impressed by some of the things they said, not just athletically but the academics they bring to the table. He understands the importance of a diploma from Cal-Berkeley.”

Drake said Lyerla has tentatively scheduled to visit California the weekend of Jan. 15. It depends on if he decides on Oregon or USC in the meantime, something he probably would make public at the U.S. Army game.

Frankly I've had enough of Cal taking a lot of recruits that could easily be ours. I know Cal is great academically, but their football team disappoints every season.

Colt choosing a school for academics seems to be a bit of a surprise.

If we lose Colt to Cal I might never root for a Golden Bear ever again. That means Packers or Fantasy Football.

Does anyone know what we were recruiting Scarlett as?
Because if it was at D-line, it's interesting that the Ducks told him no because we already have guys coming.

If they're turning down Scarlett because they are already expecting others to commit, this can only be good news.

That's what we can only hope. If they are turning down, for now, a player like Scarlett, then they must really be some good ones.

Wonder if they were recruiting him at TE. With French on board and perhaps Lyerla soon to follow, maybe that's why he said we kinda stopped recruiting him. Or maybe they wanted him at DT and already expect a couple of commitments from higher rated guys w/o the injury history. Kinda strange though that the coaching staff would stop going after such a highly recruited player in their own back yard. But, as always, in Chip we trust.

Well unless we were recruiting him at TE/LB.. But if we were recruiting him at D-line, then it's great news for sure.

My guess is that the coaches knew that Scarlett was a longshot and they didn't want to waste their time. Scarlett has never shown much interest in Oregon. The coaches are probably focused on guys who have expressed genuine interest for a longer period of time.

Anthony Newman himself said earlier this month that Scarlett is probably leaving the state so I'm not sure it matter that much we are recruiting him. Ya got to remember, we don't know 95% of what is being said to recruits, etc. We just a bunch of dummies until LOI day.

many of us can claim the dummy status after LOI as well

That may be... but the kid's dad seemed to go way out of his way to keep Oregon in the picture.

[goducks75]

Scarlett's gonna be in the state of California. Most likely Los Angeles if I had to guess but I'd be absolutely shocked if he stayed in state. 0% chance he goes to Notre Dame.

Does it really matter where you get your sociology degree from?
