Castro wavering?
He's now listed as a soft verbal and visiting UW this weekend...

Was our 8th straight win vs UW not enough for him?

he wasnt a strong verbal to begin with. YOu dont commit, then tell the coaches, I'm still visiting other schools.
Just drop the kid, either you're commited or you're not. dont need the games. Gabe King played the same games and Chip had enough and just flat out dropped him.

Re: Castro wavering?
One of the reason Michigan dropped Brown was because he wanted to play TE on offense, and knew that Oregon gave him a shot to do that, so i highly doubt its brown. Maybe Ken Ekanem?Duck24 wrote:Pharaoh Brown?greenyellow wrote:Could be that Oregon has possibly looking around for another DE/OLB recruit.

Ekanem would be nice but I just don't think he'll come out this far when he has tons of offers closer to home.Duffman57 wrote:One of the reason Michigan dropped Brown was because he wanted to play TE on offense, and knew that Oregon gave him a shot to do that, so i highly doubt its brown.

Re: Castro wavering?
Castro said that he thought he owed UW a visit.
I wouldn't read to much into it.

Re: Castro wavering?
If true, that's the stupidest thing ever. I owe them a chance to pay for me to fly up and visit them, despite having earlier reneged on a commitment to them and switching to their rival.Boom wrote:Castro said that he thought he owed UW a visit.

Re: Castro wavering?
I don't have a problem with the kid visiting UW. Presumably the Huskies adjusted their recruiting after Castro committed.Duck24 wrote:If true, that's the stupidest thing ever.

UW knows were Castro stands, but would like a visit from him anyways. This is essentially Castro's attempt to make things right for bailing on them.
I don't think it's a big issue for Chip.

Re: Castro wavering?
Relax guys. Its a "courtesy" trip. Frankly, its nice being on the other end of one for a change. It seemed like it was always the Ducks getting that "courtesy" visit from the recruits, then the recruit saying.."unis, facilities, blah blah, but I'm staying put". My oh my, how times have changed!

Re: Castro wavering?
Yeah nothing to really see here. He already knows what UW has to offer, he was a commit remember? He switched immediately after visiting here. It's not like it was even a tough decision for him. It's a courtesy cuz I'm sure Sark has guilt tripped the hell out of him.

Re: Castro wavering?
I don't agree with blocking recruits from taking visits just because they've committed to another school. These guys aren't professional athletes... they're young people attempting to make the most important decisions of their lives to date. Coaches, as members of higher learning, should at least be encouraging these students to do what's right for them... now try to scare them into staying put at one place.
Willie Taggart is a dick.
