Jhope is usually pretty thorough and far less dramatic then Prehm.

Prehm is the hyperbolic one, jhope seems to be honest and forthright. And he's usually on his s***.

Why would jhope put all his credibility on the line for a totally unbelievable story that he read somewhere on the internet? he's got actual sources that know whats up so why would he stoop so low?

i just don't see it.

i think it's likely that there is a basis for this rumour.
Jhop isn't hinging his reputation on this. The word "rumor" is in the title of his post so he us covered.

My source just said Chip is officially back!
It will be announced at Autzen press conference tomorrow afternoon!

Probably just BS.

BUT, it would make practical sense. It's an area of need. He could probably get early playing time. We just went to the NC and have a great class coming in. Why not?

Haha, this is seriously the best thread ever. You have to wonder if we were a rung on the ladder for this rumor to get going.

Never thought Inception could actually be performed :lol:

My question is, why would he visit JUST to visit. I am hearing some say, "probably just taking his last OV just to visit somewhere." Sorry, but if you were taking an OV JUST for the sake of visiting a place, why Oregon? Hell, i don't think we were EVER even in contention for this kid.

Yeah, but if we started this rumour here at ducksattack,

anyone reading the thread would have understood that there was really nothing to it except heaqrsay from an espn board.

in fact, most people were laughing about it early on.

so i would have to thin there is something to it.

otherwise, jhope just took off his mask as a cheap used car salesman

Maybe it dawned on him that SC is low odds for an NC appearance and that Alabama has a zillion top linemen already.

I would love to dissect the origins of a rumor.

First, it is necessary to sound wild but also halfway plausible. It is widely known that Oregon could use a DL recruit. It is also widely known that Oregon got DAT to make the switch.

Combine this with recruiting sites desperate to stay relevant after LOI day...and there you have it. JHOP or anyone can report something as a 'rumor' without making a commitment to its veracity. Heck, he may have even read it here.

If I were taking a visit just to visit I'd be looking real hard at... The Rainbows, eerrrr, Warriors :D

For sure :lol: Although i heard they are pretty strict on who they let take OV's for that very reason. Kids just wanting a free trip to Hawaii.
