Dunmore interview

Looks like a good start! Heck of a student-athlete, 3.8 GPA and #2 HS decathlete in the Nation.

Last week mops said on DT that he thinks Dunmore will continue to blow up over the summer and end up being the #1 or 2 recruit out of the state for 2012 and he already has offers from UO, OS, UW and Duke. Sounds like we are getting a good one, excited to have him on board.

Looks to have a lot of untapped potential due to splitting his time between three different sports in HS. Most likely a RS candidate once he gets here.

vagusnerve...are you in the right thread on the right board. He said he coming and his mother posted he's coming. That seem to remove the doubt. Any chance you should be on the OS Board?

It was a joke. It will get posted in almost every thread that discusses a recruit.

Well played Vagus

[GoDucksIn09]

Just to confirm as far as what he is being recruited for. The article I read on him said he would be playing safety. I do not know much about him. I know he was on a watch list or two so thats good. Hopefully he will end up as a 4 star recruit. It would be a very good start.

To be honest, I don't see Oshay lasting long on the football team. Not because he's not talented enough to play but because he has the chance to become the next "Ashton Eaton" for the track team. He's already posted the top decathlon score this year and my experience in having a roommate who did the decathlon and played football didn't last long because of the workload for each. It's one thing to be a sprinter/jumper who plays football, but there is too much work for the Deca to do both at a high level. In a few years time he could be an Olympic level decathlete and I imagine he himself realizes that at some point he'll have to decide between the two.

Remember T&F is limited to 12.6 scholarships so it might become a matter of money. I don't know what his families financial situation is but a full ride football schollie vs a partial ride (I think most are less than 50%) for track can be a big difference. Of course, with his GPA he might be able to get academic money if he opts for track.

Yes, he was quite cognizant of the fact that football allowed him a 'full ride scholarship' to school and would still allow him to participate in track.
From his demeanor during the interview and the fact that he jumped on the football scholarship leads me to believe he is 100% committed to football for the duration!

It could also just be a favor Kelly is doing Lannana so Dunmore comes here, but I doubt the coaches would waste a scholarship on a guy they think isn't going to help them on the football field.

THIS...there is no way CK and his way of going about things, does he waste a scholarship (when we don't have many to give) on a kid that can't/won't play ball! He will play both sports but may have to quite one if the demands are too much!
