One recruit not coming to Oregon

[TheMaehlMan]

Yeah, he was interested in Oregon during the summer but we decided not to offer due to not thinking he was a match personality-wise. I wholeheartedly agree with our coaches on this one, and Shittu is considered rather flakey...

[woundedknees]

Seems as if beating the Ducks is a huge selling point for some folks/programs.

Cal, Nevada, and TAMU are his dream schools?

What about BSU?

[Elduderino]

Read his tweets back...and his spelling of the word "Chienase" haha. I know these kids aren't valedictorians but geez, Chienase instead of Chinese?!? The freaking phones correct spelling for you...

pickingi on misspelling thats all ya got...when people type fast occassionally we make errors amd if its obvious what someone means, there is no logical reason to spell check your quick posts unless you have an extreme fetish for punctuality!

I'm sorry dude. I get what you're saying and all.....it's just that, I can't help it. Punctuality refers to being on time, not correctly spelling words. Furthermore, when individuals frequently miss on simple words (in a hurry or otherwise) I shudder to think of what is happening to the art of written communication.

As far as Shittu, I watched him play in a playoff game earlier this fall. Hard to get a good read because they blasted their opponent, but the guy seemed like a decent player. Hardly a "can't miss." Plays with an attitude you might expect reading those tweets.

he was originally committed to Stanford. he could still end up there

This is exactly what happened. I thought he took an unofficial visit to Oregon and didn't receive an offer.

From what I've heard, he probably won't be admitted to Stanford. He has very good grades, but apparently did poorly on the SAT's.

Yeah, that is correct about the UOV. Shittu thought an offer was a given, and we just weren't interested in him. He obviously hasn't taken the news very well because these aren't the first anti-Oregon tweets that he has put out there.

wouldn't be surprised if he got special grade treatment. you can't fix the sat though, no matter how fast you be.

this made me LOL. and yes, you can tell the guy isn't very bright from his tweets. i was shocked when i saw his gpa, but not when i read he bombed his SAT.

If you can't spell Chinese, you probably won't succeed at Stanford or any other non community college.

He's sure got an impressive offer list: http://oregon.scout.com/a.z?s=128&p=8&c=1&nid=5360645

[duckgrad99]

Shittu is a perfect name for him.

[buckmarkduck]

FYI he didn't get into Stanford that is why he isn't a commit anymore.

[duckphanatic23]

We will Shittu!
