Hard to get a read on where he's leaning, but I would suspect it's down to Kentucky and Tennessee.

Excellent piece on Dawson's recruitment. Good find digg. I'm not holding my breath re Dawson, but there are still a few out there that say we're in it. My $$ has been on UT for quite a while and I'm sticking w/it.

I imagine if he does pick the Ducks (25% chance or less) that SC will really put a last minute charge after Hardrick because of how many Inside Linebackers we will have in the class. (Wallace, Hardrick, Dawson, possibly Colt)

With playing time being one of his top priorities, our current depth chart is in our favor but our current commits are not, kind of a push.

I think a priority not specified, distance from home may win out. 2 of 4 choices are home or border states and 1 would not be a finalist if location wasn't important.

The interesting thing is Oregon is the only team of the 4 that has had recent on field success and is going to be highly ranked this coming year. Going to a current contender doesn't seem that important by the other finalists which is bad for Oregon.

You could also argue that the only reason he is considering going so far away from home to a non-sunny climate is because of our success on the field. I think what it points out is that most kids would rather stay A) close to home B) a sunny weather or big city glamorous school.

It appears his Grandmother will have an opinion on the matter and im sure she will want him to stay close to home which cant help our chances. Honestly tho, id love to have him but we really need DTs.

Family always seems to win out when it comes down to them versus going across the country.
