McReynolds dumps Ducks

[freedjr]

Total repeat of last year...we need DTs. We will be fine. Also, I read on the O that it sounds like McReynolds just wanted a visit and wasn't overly high on the Ducks, and Chip wants people who want to be Ducks.

Yes, it sucks. Yes, I want a dominant D-lineman. But I trust the staff and I'm sure we'll be fine. Every position the Ducks have been "weak" at the past few years Chip has made due. Keep your head up, but still cross your fingers for signing day!

Here is the article I saw. http://blog.oregonlive.com/ducks/2011/0 ... creyn.html

Sounds like he was jacking the coaching staff around kinda like King and McCain did last year.Totally agree with Chip, if want to be a Duck great, if not, don't let the door hit you in the ass.

Some of you guys get stuck on star ratings way to much. Even if we signed the top DT he won't come in and dominate. Haloti took 2 years before he dominated, Suh took 2 years, Fairley took 3 years out of HS to become what we saw this year. Also you guys realize the Auburn starters who whooped our olines asses, not one of them where 4* recruits.

Azz has signed DT's and in his 2 years of having a full year to recruit he has managed to land a 4* last year and another 4* this year in Ebert. Uniformed or just plain ignorant to be calling him out right now over recruiting. For those wanting to discount Ebert remember the top two DT this year, Fairley and Paea, both came from the JC ranks. Right now we have 3 DT who all look like they will be very good over the next 3 years and Ebert coming in with Remington RS this year. UO doesn't need 4 DT we will sign 1-2 HS kids and be good.

Haloti dominated from the git go. I'll never forget him getting double teamed by two veteran USC O-lineman and Haloti as a true freshman was pushing both of them into the backfield... Blew me away, 2nd yr tore his knee up.
Bellotti said he was the best player he ever coached.

Buckmark's point still stands though. Unless we get a once in a life time hall of fame player like Haloti, none of which our targets are, we will still be in the same position. None of these kids are going to come in & be game changers. Heimuli was very highly rated & we all crapped ourselves when he committed... and he barely made an impact this past year. He provided good depth & thats about it.

And thats all we need from this class. Guys to come in & provide depth this year & be starters down the road. We really aren't that bad off right now. But rational posters have been saying the same thing for months & it hasn't stopped people from posting "We need DTs!!!" threads every single day.

some of thee kids think they can just keep 5 schools on the ropes until signing day. yeah right.

No doubt you are correct here.

But as you say here, we need 1 or two DTs in this class.

I'm sure there are targets besides Heyward... let's hope so!

The other thing we don't know is why are we signing so many LB's? Perhaps 1-2 will put on some weight and play DE. OS for years has made a living at this, and even this year one of their key DT came in as a 200lbs LB and beefed up to 280 to play on the dline.

[UOducksTK1]

If we get Simmons and his buddy, then that's a good enough Dline class for me.

OBviously we'd probably add another Dlineman in this class, but if we swing out on McReynolds and get that pair I'm very happy with that tradeoff.

Because the depth chart for the next couple seasons is heavy on upperclassmen and they need to build for the future, as they haven't signed many LB the last couple classes.

Somebody really ought to tell Bob Rickert to stop writing about s*** he has no clue about. He is really spreading poor information and adding to speculation that can ultimately harm our recruiting efforts.

So then what's the real scoop. I didn't see anything in the mcreynolds piece that leads me to think its "harming" us

[briarduck]

Ya there was nothing harmful in that article but I don't think Bob has any real recruiting scoop he just spits our to the masses what he reads on the various boards and that's okay.

FWIW...

There's a thread on 247 that looks as if it's suggesting that things aren't over and that there's just been some issues rescheduling with KMc. I'm not a member, so I can only read the free posts, but the tone is a positive "we still have a shot" type.

It's from JHop, so I'm sure there are some here who will take it w/ a grain of salt at least, but perhaps things aren't as cut and dried as they appear?

This is like running game on the pretty girl at the party - once you reject that girl who doesn't get rejected, she can't get you out of her mind.

[Destroyer77]

Delvon Simmons has a chance to really shine at Oregon. He's my #1 target remaining for this class.

my guess, is JHop called and Mcreynolds told him he is still interested in the Ducks. Translation: free trip to see facilities.

Chips was smart, time to move on.
