Bolden to possibly commit soon.

[Oracle]

That's the rumor. If so he's all Spartan. Hopefully we are making progress with some other QBs or we can get him out for an official and change his mind if he does commit.

I guess we'll know more in a couple weeks if he does or doesn't come visit. If he does it would be cool for him to commit to us early. If he cancels it looks like we will need to find a QB elsewhere.

[greenyellow]

It's still very early in the recruiting process, but it doesn't seem likes its a very good year for Oregon to get a quality QB.

[jhopduck]

He has not visited us yet, so all signs point to MSU, he's rumored to be visiting soon, which is good if that indeed happens. MSU guys are saying if he does commit to them, the coach won't let him visit anymore teams. IF he commits there and makes more visits afterwards, they will supposively pull his schollie and not sign him. ??????

Can a university do that if a recruit looks around? I am not familiar with rules and such of that nature. I do not know. Seems harsh for a university to do that.

[jhopduck]

Nothing is bound until recruit and university agree on a signed LOI. Even then, if pressed, either party could get out of that agreement. It's harsh, but his stance is don't commit unless you're certain apparently, that is why he doesn't want his "commits" looking around I guess.
Bolden has been pretty MSU heavy the whole time, really no shocker if he commits, but he should do all of his looking around first IMO.

I would love this guy to come here...we have to get him in for a visit!

GO DUCKS!!

[woundedknees]

Bolden, Munchie... Oregon needs to get guys like that here for a visit, Plus sell the parents!

[UOducksTK1]

Bolden is probably the #1 (or at least one of the top) QBs on our board. It'd suck if he decided to choose a school without even visiting Oregon.

[duckgrad99]

If Oregon misses out on Bolden, they have to get another top qb, especially after missing out this past recruiting season. I hope these guys aren't shying away because of a few stupid comments about qb's in the spread not being prepared for the NFL. These guys should be lining up to play for the ducks.

You would think that one of the top Dual Threat QB's would be chomping at the bit to play at the UofO. I have a feeling that this might be a bad sign for us getting our QB of the future if Bolden chooses a school like MSU over us, especially with this being a thin class with DT QB's. I realize its still pretty early in the process but it doesnt even seem like any QB outside of Walker, which was awhile ago, has any major interest in us.

A few months ago, it was reported that Bolden didn't want to be considered a "dual threat" QB. He was specifically looking for pro style offenses.... or am I thinking about someone else?

[woundedknees]

Remind me again... What offense does MSU run? Rumor has it that if the right QB steps up, Dantonio may 'experiment' with that option thing. (Nobody said anything about a complete offensive overhaul...)

The Spartans currently have 3 sophomores competing for the starting job vacated by departing senior QB, Brian Hoyer... 4 Star Keith Nichol ( 6'2/205 lb./4.68, from Lowell, Michigan, a transfer from Oklahoma), 3 Star Nick Foles (6'5/243 lb. pocket passer from Austin, Texas) , and 3 Star Kirk Cousin (6'3"/197 lb. touch and timing passer who some analysts think could be perfect for a 'West Coast' style offense, from Holland, Michigan).

[ARGHimaPirate]

We're going to take a QB in this class whethers its Bolden or someone else. If Bolden chooses somewhere else then I hope it happens now rather than in January. I still dont understand why dual threat QB's arent beating down our door right now. Chip Kelly has shown what he can do with Dixon, who played not so well before Kelly came around. And Mosoli who was a true Freshman in his frist year of Kellys offense. I hope we can get our QB recruiting situation solved by early to late summer since this is such a thin class.

[jhopduck]

Tyler Shreve, Godfrey, Walker, amongst others are all HIGH Duck interest recruits. Those guys are all high 3-4 star QB's. We are definitely going after the cream of the crop however, and CK is so selective with his QB's. I think we have our share of guys who want to play here, but the top flight guys and CK's pickiness are going to only offer a select few guys. So Bolden going elsewhere is a bummer as he's high on our board, but it's not done yet.

He was a Soph. He had played one year of JC ball at CCSF.
