Danny Shelton commits to UW

[MacDuck]

Still haven't heard a mention of a dad in Shelton's case. Theory holds up primarily because black families fit the mold the most, but I maintain it's still applicable when mom is the head of household. Much harder for them to let go.

No, your theory doesn't hold because it is all conjecture at this point and you cannot get any of the statistics to prove your point. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Actually Duck07, I didn't want to drag out what I know to be true, but since you've decided to be a dick with your know it all reply, I'll tell you I know from several first hand conversations with folks I know that what I say is very true. This comes from several CFB players and other families I know.

Sure, and I know of others, who come from a single family household who either went to Oregon (from out of state) or went out of state for college. A few doesn't mean all. Some parents actually want their kids away from home too. For non-scholarship players the reasons are obvious. For those able to get a scholly - like Shelton - sometimes the parent wants whats best for the child (academics). If 1 guy has a close enough relationship with his mom that that makes the difference, so what?

I really don't get where all this absurd logic for why recruit X didn't come to Oregon spring up. First it was that he was a poor black child (hello steve martin) and now its that single mothers have a hard time letting go.

I might as well go watch some Firesign Theatre and study for a history test...

Reading comprehension is needed here. Go back and read again. Nowhere in my OP did I even suggest anything like "all". My post was simply put out there to point out what many know to be true in many cases with athletes coming from single parent families.

s***!! DT is one of our big needs this year.

Heyward and Simmons have Ducks in their top 3. Plus if we get Simmons, we'll likely get his buddy who is a hybrid OLB/DE ala Kenny Rowe.

At DT, if Heimuli goes on his mission, then we only have Remington, Hart, Keliikipi, and incoming JC transfer Ebert. At DE, there will be Hanna, Turner, Anthony Anderson, Dion Jordan, and Tony Washington.

We are going to need to start (get better) recruiting DT position if we want to stay at an elite level.

I hope we can convince the guys we are after, including change Danny mom mind, that UO is the place for them to be. I want to to stay playing at an elite level and being significant in CFB.

I don't really want to rehash an old topic of discussion, but we really aren' that bad at recruiting DL's...we are just bad at recruiting ones that qualify.

Plus coach Azz has only been here less than 2 years

True I do trust coach Azz but coach Gray set us back a few years...
