Yikes. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since we've been there and done that a few times.
Meh. This is the same Brandon Huffman that less than a week ago said he'd be shocked if DBlack went anywhere but Oregon.

That's the problem with the internet and media these days... Anyone can make any comment, no matter how outrageous, and turn around just a few days later and, with revisionist history, say something else. Those that point this out are ridiculed as losers who need to get a life, rather than people trying to hold them accountable for their words...

Here's all we know at this point. USC has a great football tradition, has great academics and is in Southern Cal. UCLA is probably the most beautiful campus in America, has terrific academics, has a terrific history of athletics, and again, is in socal. Oregon is in the natty, on the rise, has a system that DBlack would kill in, and has the Nike connections.

Would anyone really be surprised if he chose ANY of those schools?
Uostudent apparently didn't read the rest of the post on Educk, because that line has a completely different context knowing everything else.

uostudent with a negative post? Surely you jest. That never happens!

He comes great. He doesn't come, we'll be fine. UCLA will still suck either way, we're headed to the natty, and he'll get to deal with a coaching turnstyle at either school in his career.

I still think he comes to Oregon. There was WAY too much Oregon love over the last couple months just for it to be ruse. If it is, that was the most impressive acting performance I've seen in a long time.

I think so too. I think he realized after all of his Ducklove texts that his announcement would be boring if everyone knew all along who he was picking so he had to drum up some excitement. I don't think it's a coincidence that all of this change happened directly after all of his ducklove...

He said "expect the unexpected"... at this point don't we almost seem like the "unexpected"?

Hey I hope I'm wrong. They were speculating that Blackmon was a silent verbal. I still think he ends up at UCLA.

I'd definitely welcome him here. Wherever he goes, he's going to need to mature. He definitely has the talent to be a big time player.

Duck fans need to leave him alone on twitter.

It was Oregon until I saw what Huffman said today. I don't think USC is in it to tell you the truth.

That's a fair assessment Phenom...I still say Oregon because it makes the most sense...UCLA lack of receivers coach and O coordinator. You would think that would mean he's ours to lose...but he likes warm weather and may have developed a friendship with ex Oregon target and current UCLA commit Brett Hundley who I wanted bad! Anyways, I'm gonna stick with the Ducks!

I'm personally over it and don't think he is coming here. I was right about Walls going to Cal when a lot of people thought we had him. Let's see if I'm right again.

Same.

My last speculation ends with this. Now he's acting like UCLA has no chance, IMO ucla. Anything else, and this kid has more swag than the great danton.

I don't use Twitter so am unsure, but if he didn't want people to post on his account couldn't he just block that or block people from viewing completely unless he allows them. He must not be totally bothered. Choose Oregon.

It's funny how he's got 3 different fan bases following his every move. Pure genius on his part to use his Twitter account like he has to get people to pay attention to him.

Didn't even think about it. The team no one has been talking about. Blackmon wants to "shock the world".....

Cal :roll:

Probably unlikely, but losing another prospect to Tosh would be kind of humiliating.
