How do you think we end up in recruiting?

Wonder with all this moaning and groaning of not getting the Top recruits in the country, if we get beat by Wisconsin, will we he more of the same?

Honestly I like what Oregon has gotten out of there players they have recruited so far. Remember there are top recruits like Black Mamba that want a change of scenery then LA. This is good for Oregon, we at least have a chance.

Bottom line got to Win BCS Bowl games starting with this one! You build that type of tradition, the recruits will follow. Also perhaps we might need to sell like TOSH LUPOI. Crazy how he pulls these recruits to CAL. Unreal

PS crossing my fingers for McCarthy..even though we may not land him.I know its between 3 schools in USC and Cal and UCLA but perhaps a sleeper in Oregon?

So we got a commitment from Pharoah Brown.

And it looks like Buckner is a commit as well.

How many spots left, 4-5?? We're actively recruiting LBs and WRs still, so it looks like we'll take one at each of those positions. And then what? Just the most talented two or three players to commit at any position?

No, I would much prefer if Oregon stayed very far away from "dirty" recruiting. Anyone with high integrity and character is turned off by that nonsense and kids that are swayed by those things probably aren't going to be the best members of their respective institutions.

Now that we are out of it for Foster, and Pitt has had a coaching change, I wonder if we will try to get Demitrious Davis to de-commit?

I doubt it since Oregon seems to have moved on and he's probably not one who's going to come out here for school.

Ruffin would be an incredible pickup, but it's a long shot. I guess we might as well shoot for the stars since we already have some linebackers committed.

Apparently there is one more committed linebacker(name unknown) visiting on the 13th by the way.

Antonio Morrison (LB), Jabari Ruffin (LB), now an unnamed recruit at LB. Is this coincidence or are we suddenly doing a late push for this position?

Well, this may be why we appear to suddenly be recruiting linebackers.

First-year linebackers Rodney Hardrick and Tyson Coleman did not travel to Los Angeles this week with the Oregon football team....

...Reached later Saturday through a spokesman, Kelly said that "they did not earn the privilege to make the trip."

Sounds like they got in trouble for something academic or off-the-field. Not a good thing for Coleman since it may have been his second incident or it could just be part of his punishment for his incident earlier in the school year.
