Pulled Ishmael Adams offer?

Post by hualalai06 »

A tweet by Biggins, retweeted by DiFrancisco, said the Oregon coaches pulled his offer. Said there isn't room for him anymore.

Can someone who is much smarter than me explain this?

The easiset answer is often the best....thus if there is no room, what must be true? A player took his spot in in the secondary....or in other word we have a silent committ...

Apparently we also told Kwon Alexander that there is no room for him and are full at LB, according to J Hop. So he will not be visiting this weekend vs USC. And i guess there is a chance that we're not accepting Uzoma either, again, being full at the position he's at, whatever the hell position we're recruiting him at...

Kind of Strange...

Interesting... well we probably only have 12 more spots and my guess is that we still need 3 offensive lineman 2 defensive lineman.

I'm not really sure who we're targeting for the remaining 7

Well my guess would be we're holding out hope for Armstrong and McCarthy as the other DL. OL we're probably Getting Kyle Long and hoping we'll get Tagaloa, and then a OG probably, i have no idea who though.

I am bummed that they aren't leaving room for Uzoma, if that is indeed the case. I have read quite a few articles about him and have been excited about what he could bring to the Ducks. Smart kid, great attitude and very athletic. With his skill set he could play multiple positions on defense or offense. Hard to see how there isn't room. I just hope it doesn't end up biting us in the butt. It seems like we offered a few kids early on who were "under the radar" and possible projects. I would think that the coaches could wait on offering those type of players until later in the recruiting cycle so there would be room for highly ranked ultra talented players like we appear to be removing offers from now. Granted, sometimes you find Dante Rosario type players from small towns who were just completely missed by the big time schools, but not often. I have to think that after back to back BCS games, one of which was the Natty, that we can be more selective early on.

And yes, I know the coaches know what they are doing. They are good evaluators of talent and excellent at developing players and getting the best out of them. Still, it stings watching them pull offers on kids who may have ended up being studs on our team, and instead will likely be studs for our opponents.
