Missing out on Heyward, Simmons and Byers choosing Clemson today really sucks...I love our class but we need a future DL beyond next year!

At least the next few years and skill positions are loaded with talent!

The way USC is filling up reminds me incredibly frustrating it was when I was younger, and the scholarship limits weren't in place yet... IIRC, when Oregon was still in play-for-pay mode, there was a game at Nebraska where the Duck travel squad was outnumbered 3/1 by fully equipped players on the Husker sideline... Their 4 deep was 90% players who could have started at Oregon.

It's hard to believe how many kids would rather struggle at a place like USC, rather thanhave a real chance to star at a place like Oregon.

Is there any sleepers at the DT position left on the table?

[Lightning Strikes]

I just want to bitch for a quick second about the USC love and Oregon disrespect taking place on ESPNU right now.

WTF?!?!?!

Didn't the Ducks just win back to back Pac10 titles? These morons still talk about USC like they're the premier program in the conference.

That was one of the most disgusting shill jobs for the college football hierarchy that I've ever heard. Wow.

I doubt Oregon will be after anyone else since every DL that's been on a visit here has committed somewhere.

I didn't hear any USC love going on. Actually, Urban Meyer made a great point. He said that after Utah had a couple great years they started chasing higher star recruits and losing battles against bigger, more established schools. He said that Oregon shouldn't give up on recruiting higher rated kids, but they should stay within their system that's been working because they're not going to win most battles against teams like USC. He mentioned the success of schools like Virgina Tech and TCU that are consistently in the thick of things on the national scene, but they do it by recruiting for players that fit well in their system. I agree 100%.

Oregon had better get some help in this class soon because it looks like they'll fall out of the Top-10 due to all the misses. Thomas may be the best way to salvage the class ranking. Oregon started strong but are sputtering getting to the finish line.

I don't know if he will commit, but if Marcus Martin commits to us do you think he could play DT?

Tacoi Sumler was just on ESPNU. Said the power has shifted to Oregon in the Pac-10, nice.

If only that helped along the DL. It seems Oregon can fill any other position than DT. While it may not impact the team much this year, missing out on so many this year will have ramifications in 2-3 years when the depth isn't as deep as it could be.

sure, if we strike out again next year. while the recruit ranking our DTs pales to those of say the RBs, we're not devoid of talent either.

I would love to disagree with your statement, but I can't. I think we will be fine next season, but this could end up hurting us badly in time.

Seems like just a few years ago we were saying the same thing about LBers lol

Again, we sign 2 HS DTs next year, depth won't be an issue either. Seriously, we're trying to predict doom and gloom at DT in 2-3 years while ignoring the next 2-3 recruiting classes.
