The SC 247 site is saying the same thing. Great to hear, I've been crushing on Colt for awhile ha.

Yeah same, the thing I liked hearing was that his family wanted him to stay in state. So if that's true, things do look good IMO. Family wins out 99% of the time.

To me, I didn't really notice any real change in facial expressions or voice but maybe it's very minor that I'm not picking it up after just one viewing.

I wouldn't rule out USC. Colt says he wants to play early, and I expect USC will continue to have depth problems from these sanctions. He could go there and play pretty early.

On the flipside, he'd be playing for a team that is going nowhere anytime soon. Lane Kiffin is a terrible coach... I couldn't believe how awful his playcalling was in some of the games I watched last season! Plus, with the sanctions in place, USC is going to be thinned out for a long time. Colt may play early there, but he won't have very much help, and his personal performance will suffer from that.

Cal might be a better fit than USC, but why would you choose Cal if Oregon is an option? Oregon is/will be the superior program for years to come, and the Ducks have a history of producing high-quality tight ends and linebackers. He may not play here right away, but he'd play soon enough and he'd be a star when he hits the field.

It's an interesting dilemma... go for more playing time sooner on a subpar team, or wait a little longer for playing time on a national title contender?

We producd a ton of tight ends. But i read something the other day that say we have only produced like two nfl backers in a while

I don't know what the scuttlebutt is, but based on that interview, I would not have thought Oregon was his first choice. He mentioned that the ducks were getting a lot of good recruits and that he wanted to play right away. Then, when asked if his family favored Oregon, he qualified it a little - 'Yeah, mostly'. I am probably over-analyzing because there wasn't much there, but I wasn't confident that he favored Oregon. I guess we'll see.

The only school you could definitely rule out is Cal. You'll notice near the beginning he talks about a decision between two schools, and when asked to expound on what attracts him to Cal, he first offers nothing but their academics, then pauses, as if he is trying to find another reason, and realizes he can't.

That's what makes me think Cal is a distant third.

[MacDuck]

Most now feel that Oregon will be the choice, but it's also very apparent that he likes USC and it isn't a slam dunk for us right now. Unlike with Blackmon on Wed where the concern wasn't really well grounded since many knew he was a silent to us and was probably just enjoying the ride and playing hinting games, etc. with Colt he really does like both schools a lot and sees the advantages of being at either university. Sounds like family favors us and he may be at most 60-40 favoring the Ducks. Will be anxiously awaiting the "hat" tomorrow.
