Scout drops Danny Shelton to 3 stars

[greenyellow]

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????

Maybe a player like Heyward, McReynolds, or Simmons is a silent commit so there's a reason Scarlett is passed over.

I did read today that we are in the final 3 for hayward with usc and san diego st

Yeah, it could just be as simple as the Ducks being in the final groups for several high profile DL guys that they really like. Heyward, Simmons & McReynolds come to mind.

I'm sure there's a guy or two in play on the DL that we don't even know about.

Yup, I just saw this today. He has long been considered a UCLA lean, so for him to have eliminated them is huge for Oregon.

I think we have a pretty good shot at Heyward, however, USC is going to be tough to beat. Despite coming from a UCLA family, Heyward is pretty high on USC. USC gets a lot of recruits from San Diego, so he may feel more comfortable there. If Heyward makes his scheduled visit in late January, then I think we have a great shot at him.

Yeah I saw this too
I thought he was a UCLA lock but what eves
SDSU has been doing great this year and staying at home would look so bad for him
Anyone know when he is going to announce?

Still lots of quality Dlinemen left on the board, so oh well.

"I'm ready to make my decision," Shelton told ESPN's Greg Biggins prior to the announcement. "I'm still probably going to take more official visits after I commit and will probably check out UCLA. They have been recruiting me hard all year but my decision will be pretty solid when I make it."


Why committ if your still making visits. Pointless committ

Based on the quotes in this article it sounds like Mommy was calling the shots.

And sometimes that how some recruits' decisions are made. Not the first time and certainly won't be the last time Oregon has been affected by a parent's decision.

Can't really see his number since his arms are in the way, but is it 1-1 ?
Plus, will he only play for the Seahawks if he makes it to the league ?

His mother has a tattoo reading "SON".
He's the most interesting football player in the world.

So do you think Shelton moves back up to 4 stars now that he is going to Washington? I bet he does.
