that is exciting!

[duckgrad99]

Nice! Let's hope he sticks with Oregon since he is a 2013 recruit.

[TheMaehlMan]

I would be shocked if Tyner de-committed, he has been close to committing for awhile now. The nice thing about Tyner is that he is not interested at all in leaving the state, so you all should feel confident in this sticking.

Great news on a tough day.

Plus he's good friends with 2012 recruit Oshay Dunsmore.

Awesome news. Tough to get super excited after the game tonight but this is obviously huge pickup.

Then I went down to the Sacramento State game ... and that wasn't too pretty. I ended up leaving at halftime. It seems like their sports are going down, and Oregon, I don't know, I just like it down there. It's awesome."

I love that quote from Tyner and love him even more for saying that and choosing us as of now.

[Phenom]

Hell yeah.

Great news after yesterday...Welcome Mr TT!

[UofDuck]

Boom! Great news!

It was funny reading Beaver fan responses on BF.com after the news. They started saying that Tyner wasn't a lunch-pail type of player, and that the Beavers want talent that aren't front-runners and crap like that. It's almost as if they believed that it was Tyner's duty to come help them, which is not fair to Tyner at all..

[Duck24]

Love that shot at the Beavs! Not that it isn't something we didn't all know, but to get dissed on like that by potentially the top RB in the next recruiting class who happens to be an in-state guy...ouch!! Welcome Mr. Tyner! We look forward to seeing you torture the Beavs and rest of the conference/country in the coming years!!!

[whosyourwally]

I see that he has some size, but for those of you that have seen him play, what kind of back is he?

Yeah I read some comments on OregonLive about his commitment to us and the Beavs came across one of two ways:

They didn't need/want him because Riley coaches up 2-star guys into 5-star payers while Chip takes 5-star players into 2-star guys (see Agnew).

Since they were supposedly his favorite back in September, the only logical reason he could have committed to us is that we paid him off. Them being 3-8 has absolutely nothing to do with it.

The Beavs are rapidly devolving into a bunch of jealous and delusional mental midgets. Beating them for a 4th straight time, sending them home bowl'less for a 2nd straight year, while basking in our 4th straight Top 10 finish and 3rd straight BCS game is going to be AWESOME! I hope we hang 70 on them and send LaMike off in style!

I saw murmurings of a possible 2nd commit. Anyone have any idea who that may be?
