Traydub is correct! Thank goodness we have Matt and Justin to keep us updated!

If we aren't losing a player - which I am sure most people thought when reading this post, then why even post it? If it is just a delay in the announcements, then why couldn't that just be stated outright in the initial post? What is it, "Top Secret"? Someone seems to need attention.

No one needed attention, Jhop posted this but said very plainly in his initial post what the bad news was. Jimmy12, the OP of this thread, probably saw the title of Jhop's post but couldn't see the content since he's not premium on 247 I would assume, so he asked if anyone could enlighten him. No need to jump on anyone, this is just a misunderstanding.

This is grave news indeed.

Never fear folks...

Even last year word trickled out when people sent in their LOI's (Thanks to Mops, Jhop, Tony D, and everyone else)

Sucks that you can't follow them as they come in but also good in that you don't have to stick around the computer all day worrying about LOIs not coming. There are enough sources out there on the internet to find out if and when someone sends their LOI in. Just takes a little more hunting to do so.

Chip did this last year too. This isn't anything new. I wish he'd allow the news to be released as they come in, but it's his team.

What's the purpose of doing it this way?

Chips' way of doing things.

This is just a thought:

Maybe he delays the announcement of who send in their LOI so that one player making his decision on the 2nd doesn't see that another player at his position (i'm thinking DT) sent in his LOI first.

Chip strikes me as the kind of guy that doesn't want his news in pieces and will wait until he gets the whole picture (like with all of the drama last off-season).

This may just be an example of that mind-set flowing through the organization.

I'm guessing that since he's so big on "team" rather than individual players he prefers to annouce the class as a group.

It's never to early to start thinking about the team rather than yourself and i think he uses this as a tool to remind his current and future players of this.

I believe this is why they did it last year. I believe they want to introduce the entire class on the Oregon Gridiron website.

Just Chips way of conducting business. Last year, I was under the knife all LOI day and it didn't matter to me. (funny how morphine eases the loss of desired recruits).

I loved the gridiron thing they did last year, I hope/assume they do that again....
