Signing Day Predictions

[Iluvmydux]

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but there are some interestering predictions from Scout on where some of the top uncommitted players will end up. 2/2 will be one amazing day if they all come true.

I will settle for Simmons and Heyward.

If we get Simmons and Heyward its game over

Rivals just posted their predictions as well:

Very promising on Simmons, not so much with Heyward.

I don't think any of them have a clue

Those guys don't know where those kids are going to sign. I wouldn't bank on either of those players coming to Oregon. I would actually expect the opposite. Be pleasantly surprised if they do, but I would interpret those picks to mean there is a chance of an Oregon pick up, nothing more.

Heyward has been a hard one to peg down since he doesn't talk all that much about what's going on. I'd be surprised if Arizona or UCLA are even it at the end.

I think Rivals has it right regarding signing day, I really don't see Heyward coming to Oregon I would love to be wrong though. I think getting at least getting one out of those two is key to finishing this class off and if Oregon somehow does end up getting both that would be a remarkable job closing on the D-line.

The proof in the pudding will be 2 years from now, when these guys have a RS season with Radcliff pounding them into shape under their belts.

This could be beautiful!

Rocky Long at SDSU appointed the defensive coordinator and coaches today. Ex-New Mexico, UTEP, and USD coaches.

I like our chances for Heyward for four reasons. First the facilities, we kill them. Second the big time football atmosphere at games. At State they are lucky to get 28,000 in a 68,000 seat stadium. The State basketball fans rock but the football fans sleep. In no way to down play State's coaches but at Oregon you will be surround by great players and coaches with a proven chance to play in a BCS game. At State you are still a BCS outsider. Finally..count the TV appearance. Oregon is on most weeks regionally or nationally while State is on a local station only.

Obviously if SDSU is in the picture it is simply because it is his home town. You can't compare facilities, atmosphere or quality of football between UO and SDSU. It is comparing apples and oranges. It just comes down to, is his desire to stay close to home strong enough to keep him from going out of state or not? If he (and his family) are OK with him leaving, then I think he ends up a Duck. That being said, it doesn't sound like he wants to leave San Diego.
