Same, but I'm afraid I've become a little bit more pessimistic. Considering he is good friends with Tate, Michigan is easily a player. OK always recruits well, especially at RB. And above all, he's visiting Oregon when we DONT have a home game.
However, I think our depth chart looks favorable for an incoming freshman. And our success at RB is definitely something we can play into our favor.
Not only is he visiting us on a week without a home game. We are also his first visit.... I would much rather be his last. This just lowered my hopes of landing him. Hopefully the DScott transfer rumors turn out to be true.

My source just said Chip is officially back!
It will be announced at Autzen press conference tomorrow afternoon!
He wants to stay on the west coast, I like that we are his only west coast visit planned. Also depth chart is very important to him, we definitely have that going for us. Guess we'll see. I don't think UM is a real player in this, he's making Tate happy with the visit. OK scares me though.
Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."
Oklahoma seems to be the front runner for FL RB Roy Finch, I don't know how many RB's they want from this class, but with Murray being only a JR, plus 08 5* Jermie Calhoun around, and one more JR on the roster, I can't imagine that they have too much room, and Clay has mentioned DC is a big factor as he hopes to play early. I still think Michigan isn't a threat. IMO.
I wish he'd just commit & get it over with, it would just be nice to get it out of the way. I think we end up with him either way though. Like Jhop said, onlt west coast team he's really considering & we have the most appealing depth chart. Those being to huge factors for him, things look pretty good for us.
