Where did you read/see/hear this?
I've been lurking on ASU boards and our boards and have seen nothing even remotely close to that specific of a rumor...

Saw this on another board as well actually. Sounds like he might not be making his decision public tomorrow.
He pushed his decision back a week. I wonder if he was planning on committing to Oregon and his ASU-obsessed head coach came up with another excuse for him to push it back. Supposedly, he's pushing it back because they have a playoff game this week.
“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”

His coach is actually a USC honk, but I get the drift that he(still talking about coach) would prefer ASU over Oregon as well...

What school is that Justin? 5a is supposed to be 800-1200 studens. Both schools in Medford are over 1800, and Crater just moved up to 6a last year with around 1500 kids. Ashland has around 800 and is 5a.

Most of the east valley schools play in the AAAAA(formerly 5a-1) including powerhouses Hamilton and Chandler High. Most of the schools in this classification have huge enrollments 2,500-4,500 students. I'm not sure a high school in Oregon(maybe Portland) would have enough kids to be in the top division. Both my kids recently graduated and had close to 1,000 kids in their senior classes.
Even though Saguaro and Chapparal(Scottsdale High Schools) are in the smaller class and they play a high level of football, probably at a level that is better than the top level in Oregon. There are 8-10 d-1 prospects every year out of the league that they play in.
Az Football is vastly underrated and very good especially in the east valley.
I know Oregon schools aren't too big. My high school is in it's second year in 5A and we have <300 kids in our senior class. Before that we were in 6A which was the top division.

Anyone else think that pushing things back is good for Oregon? He had all of those quotes about the 'head and the Heart' battling...and it seemed like he might have been leaning towards ASU. I wouldn't be surprised if the ASU loss to UCLA hurt them in his mind and then there is the matter about to be settled in Palo Alto this weekend....

The Ducks are already considered to be strong title contenders next year, and seeing the Ducks win the PAC 3 years running would solidify the Ducks as the premier program in the confrence for the next few years...Who wouldn't want a piece of that? Gotta beat Stanford though...
Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."
You would also have to think that the possibility of Erickson not making it through his entire time there would also have some sort of impact on his decision.

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

I think this is the big issue right now. That loss at Ucla warmed up the seat again.
I hope the young man took notice tonight. The Ducks waltz into Stanford and look amazing doing so while ASU drops another winnable game on the road. Mind you, ASU has 30 Seniors! That future doesn't look too bright in Tempe. Go with your head DJ!
I'd be surprised if Erickson makes it past this season. Maybe Foster wants to stay close to home. Other than distance, girls, and nightlife, Oregon is superior in every other way. The weather for football is much better at Oregon.
