As far as French goes and others on the team I hope we put guys where their talent is not wasted and we get their MAX potentials wherever they end up!

Colt and a few top DTs and this recruiting class is stellar/epic!
IF and that's a BIG IF Colt was at the Nike store getting Duck gear for his family, WHY in the world would he do that if he was going to be a Trojan. Doesn't make any sense !! Just think it would be extremely hard to change your mind after doing that.

There were reports of Todd Barr and his family loading up on T's and hat's while in Eugene. He then committed to Cal.

Colts been a Duck lean for awhile now...I would be near shocked if he chose SC over us...USC thinks they are getting him because of the comparison there coaches had with past great USC linebackers...

Who was the USC linebackers coach under PC? Under Kiffin?

If not the same, the only similarity would be the jersey.

Under PC it was Nick Holt who's now the DC at UW.

I thought it was Ken Norton JR? I'm too lazy to go check the old rosters

Rumors ? Tha'ts what I mean. Lots of rumors out there, but like I said if it were true about Colt and his family I would be very surprised if he went elswhere.

I'm pretty sure Holt was the D-coordinator and D-line coach at USC.

I'm sorry but I don't think that a few hats and TShirts will hold anyone to anything. If Colt commits to the ducks, I doubt the schwag that his family has will really factor into it at all. I don't think he's going to SC but I don't think the duck store really factors in.

I actually think that Colt will end up at Oregon. He's made a ton of trips down to Eugene and will have an opportunity to play whatever position he wants at Oregon. He's going to play early at either USC or Oregon.

It sounds like Delvon Simmons isn't going to announce on Saturday anymore. He wants to take an OV to Florida. Muschamp is telling him that he will have an opportunity to play early at UF....

Hopefully not another Dominique Easley situation.

Probably worth mentioning that when Colt was seen buying his gear, he happened to be on campus, not on his OV, like Barr, but on a trip on his own volition, during the quiet period, where he talked with the coaches while visiting practice (reportedly).

Maybe I'm connecting "the dots" a little too liberally, but I believe he was committing to Chip during that conversation. I can't imagine why he would make an unscheduled trip, just happen to 'pop in' during practice, chat with the coaches and load up on gear (after the reports of him being at practice), if he wasn't, at the VERY least a strong lean (which, to me even seems a little doubtful).

Am I a recruiting Nostradomus? Nope, far from it, but I take pride in nailing the DBlack drama earlier yesterday, and I think I've got this one down too... We'll see, but I think these SC fans are just busy being their usual overconfident selves...

Completely agree with glazeduck on this one!

That would tick me off since we are in such dire need of some stud D-lineman. I really thought we had a great shot at him from what I have heard. He's the proto type of DT that Azz wants. Tall,quick, 6'5" and would probably play at about 285-290
That would really suck to lose another one to florida like Easley.

Regarding the Duck gear, even if true it is next to meaningless. He obviously is a fan of both schools but if you live in Oregon and are going to wear football gear to bowl watching parties and around town this year, Duck gear makes more sense than USC stuff, regardless of where he is going next year.

I suspect most recruits have the gear from all the schools they are seriously considering.

I hope you are all right...I'm usually as optimistic as they come but recruiting is recruiting and things change at any moment just ask CK last year when he was at T Boyd press conference to accept our new QB and he (mommy) changed his mind right before the press conference.

Colt is clearly a DUCK fan and an Oregonian at heart BUT there are no guarantees!

Again with all of you pointing to the contrary, I WILL gets my hopes up again...right now!

Saturday we will see!
