There not taking about USC are they? They Shirley :mrgreen: don't have room for him.
That is my thought also, but..... Strange recruiting habits have the Trojan, no?

This is my feeling....

Chip specifically said they had a 4* recruit visit...watched practice... and it intimidated him.


I think it was Simmons

I'll bet if we fired a starting pistol behind him he wouldn't be intimidated.

There was an article that his coach listed the 3 cons for Oregon in the first round. Distance, he doesn't want to play 0 technique nose tackle which is what Clark played about 90% of the second half of the season and Oregon subs their starters too much.

Now the last point is bull pucky because the amount of subbing is overcome by the amount of extra plays Oregon faces. I suspect though Simmons coach just was spouting Ed Ogeron's standard pitch against Oregon and he had bought it hook line and sinker. Path to the NFL was apparently NC's successful pitch that landed him initially at NC and when that "path" bailed to the NFL Simmons was pissed that he had been con'd.

I think he will go to the SC. Ogeron will flaunt SC's history of sending people to the NFL and I think Simmons and Company will buy into it without seeing through the fallacies in that argument. Just my guess.

Could have been some of them or all of them.. Some of these kids have a lot of talent and really haven't had to work to hard in HS. They come to the Ducks practice and go whoa ! Man that's a lot of work.
That's why some of the less heralded kids end up being better in college. They've had to work hard for everything they get and it's not that big a deal to work extra hard.

I believe that was a response to a DT recruiting question... (not sure though)

My guess is Simmons, but it could have been directed at Heyward.

I think Chip was actually referring to Kevin McReynolds

too bad you forgot about the part where Chip was talking about a PRACTICE BEFORE THE SEASON.

If it was a practice before the season, it was probably someone from around the NW, so I'm guessing Scarlett.

McReynolds unofficially visited Oregon during the summer.
