USC recruiting Guru on DeAnthony Thomas

[Bigducker]

No USC representative is allowed to contact Thomas till signing day... Unless DT himself initiates the conversation, it would be considered a major violation, since USC is already on sanctions.

Go for it, Kiffin!

I know that, but you never know whether he would call them.

like that other guy said, all the "surprise" talk is retarded. he took an OV. he was at the basketball game where thousands of people saw him and apparently chanted his name. especially in this day and age, when people tweet about which stall a recruit took a s*** in, that all just sounds ridiculous

[Phenom]

I heard about this before anyone else and I heard that he was trying to get the OL from Michigan to commit here. Maybe he's trying to do the same with the USC recruits?

According to the Biggins post in the other thread, the USC coaches knew of the visit in advance.

I just hope if Kiffen calls, The answering machine is in time/date stamp record mode!

So do I.

"No recruits makes a decision like this solely on the whims of "shocking" people."

Especially if they have been encouraging others they respect to attend the original school they committed to.

My thoughts exactly..

Scroll down to about the half way through the audio.

Interview with Gerard Martinez, the No. 1 authority on USC recruiting.

Says Thomas loved Oregon, but thinks he's still going to stick with U$C because of family, familiarity. Thinks Oregon would have had a better shot if it could have been kept quit until LOI day.

It's widely known that Martinez really does not like Oregon and that he isn't one of the better USC recruiting analysts.

I think that Martinez would have a better shot if he kept quiet.

[soduck]

Recruits get to wear gear on their visits, but they can not keep anything they don't pay for. Can you say special benefits. So did DT buy Duck gear for show? I doubt it. Did he wear Duck gear at Lax for attention? Doubt it. But he could be doing this all for attention and stays with U$C. I hope not.

It seems like half the internet is buzzing with 'inside sources' on De'Anthony's decision.
Don't think we can even speculate till Wednesday.

Agreed....And if its the Ducks he chooses....Fantastic....If not, tis a shame, but not ALL that important....Not like we dont have gr8 talent and depth at most of the positions that he might play anyway....Spose it just depends on whether he wants to be a part of a program that isnt eligible to win a championship...Or a program that IS destined to win one...
Oh, and btw, I am not referencing another Pac 10/Pac 12 championship....Its time for the Ducks to claim the BIG BAG OF MARBLES.....

WTD....After all, that is what its all about....

[fpsduck]

He's coming to Oregon. No worries.
