I hear ya. That and Colt has been to like 10 unofficial visits, SC on probation. Ducks favored to win PAC again next yr. Ducks will let him play O , which he prefers. His jersey would be the number one seller at the bookstore. Heck, I want it now.

Maybe we need to start paying our players like the big schools do.

[The411]

championship game teams don't see the boost in recruiting until the year after or 2012. 2012 is absolutely loaded with talent on the west coast.

This. The weather here will always be a problem.

Oklahoma + the Big 10 would disagree with you.

Oregon can do two things to improve recruiting:
-Improve the university's academic reputation by increasing admissions standards (Lariviere is seeking more autonomy from the state - ability to set tuition rates and admissions standards. So far, the state won't budge. They are likely trying to protect the other public schools in the state. This is why UO doesn't have an engineering program. Fewer students would go to OSU if this were the case.)
-Lobby the city of Eugene to cleanup Franklin Blvd and build up the night life North of campus (kind of in the process of happening). The "arena district" has a lot of potential.

I have no idea who Oklahoma and Texas are after, but we are after California recruits, and they repeatedly talk about the weather as a reason to stay in California. Totally agree about academics too, however ironic that is for football players.

I have heard a million reasons why a player will or will not commit to a program.
"Oh the weather is bad up there," or "USC is where all the money is." Its a crap
argument. When a recruit commits to a program he/she is committing to a program
they feel is giving them the best chance of success. End of story!!

This is one of the most obviously wrong posts I've seen in a while.

Send me a list of around 30 prospects Oregon lost to any of these issues and I
will believe you.

Hahaha no thanks.

Many, many recruits significantly weigh a host of issues. It's absolutely ignorant to think that they all decide on schools for one reason alone.

Believe it if you want, but it's pretty damn obvious.

All you have to do is look at all the players who've chosen USC since they believe they can get more NFL-ready by going there. Location has helped a lot with USC, but their proven track-record of putting players in the NFL helped them too. Having nice weather didn't hurt either.
