Recruiting fallout

[maxduck]

Apparently some recruits are waiting for more info on the Lyles affair.

Some 2012 recruits have dropped the Ducks among their favorite schools. Some will wait and see. All said the news affected him.

Linebacker Brett Bafaro from Hillsboro (Ore.) Liberty said Oregon was his clear leader and he was ready to make a summer announcement. Now, that's on hold as other schools garner more interest.

It's to be expected. The sooner the hammer is dropped the better, more time to recover.

If there is hammer drop, and it does involve a bowl ban in 2012 it needs to be appealed and pushed to 2013. 2012 is on paper the best team UO will have while 2013 is a major reload/rebuild year.

USC seemed to recruit really well all 3 years people thought they would struggle. The under cloud year, the year the penalties were announced, the year under appeal. The USC coaches seemed to successfully work around it all. OhSU is still having a banner year and UNC had a huge class and they have the most serious charges of anyone pending.

so of the 3 kids they quote, 2 of them weren't coming in the 1st place and one of them probably eventually will. big freakin deal. cue the overreaction. some of you just have zero fortitude and just collapse in a ball of yarn when any type of "heat" is on the program. pathetic

Who are you talking about? I don't see anyone in this thread reacting at all yet alone over-reacting. The USC fan? I do agree with you about the article though, the quotes the writer got really didn't support the premise he was trying to build of doom for UO/OSU/UT recruiting. It seemed like the recruits quoted weren't going to over-react and cross anyone out arbitrarily based on speculation.

I have to say that this is one of the times that I agree with hines in the 'general' overall gist of his post!

Unfortuntely, UO doesn't have the same historic or national appeal of tOSU or USC. I'm not saying UO isn't going to have a good recruiting class, or won't have them afterwards. I'm saying that (for recruiting purposes) it's better to get the penalties now opposed to delaying the situation. Recruits want to know what they are getting into. Either way, UO will be ok. Worst-case scenario, Chip's fired, penalties, and the program goes back to Bellotti status (which wasn't bad).

I don't remember ESPN running articles on how Cam Gate was affecting Auburn recruiting.

Chip will not be fired!!

What do people think Chip will get fired for?

"Apparently some recruits are waiting for more info on the Lyles affair." is overreaction? Zero fortitude? Collapsing in a ball of yarn? The only thing pathetic is your reading comprehension and your overreaction.

He said worse case, not likely. "Worse case" would involve Chip getting fired, no?

Chip would only be fired for something worse than what we know about, just as Tressel was fired for something not known about early in the tattoo story. I doubt there is a fire-able skeleton hidden in this story but wouldn't say it is impossible when talking about extreme's of outcomes.

[buckmarkduck]

Chip won't be fired, and I talked to a guy who actually talks to these kids on a daily basis, and he said Bafaro is the ONLY one to say anything about the allegations. He also said if the coaches call him it would be smoothed over quickly.

It was more of a general question because this isn't the first place I've heard it. Lots of media people have been saying they think he will lose his job over this but they never say what he did, other than remain silent.
