I only comment about kids I talk to myself and with recent contact. Or, if someone I trust like Matt has just spoken with them and shares something with me.

Totally picked up on thatOracle wrote:Anybody notice that Allen said his dad likes Bama and later said that there's some disagreement in the house but he will win out? That can only mean that he wants to come to Oregon.

Re: Greensboro Trio Video Interview
I hope I'm wrong...And I have no inside info or anything or am trying to say I know for a fact they're not coming...That's just the feel I get from watching that video...Great to here the confidence from Jhop and from the video I fully agree that if Kennan comes here McCain follows, no guarantee on King though although I think it helps hugely...But I just didn't get any sort of vibe they were coming here...But like It's always said, a different conversation with a different person can have things said so much differently and here's to hoping

Re: Greensboro Trio Video Interview
Besides being able to say "I told you so" I guess I dont see where you are getting that the video provided no evidence that they are coming to Oregon. I have no insider info or anything of that nature but from what Jhop is saying and the tone of that video, I wouldnt be surprised to see both Allen and McCain in Eugene and possibly King. The video nearly focused around Oregon and how all 3 were interested in the Ducks. Bama also got talked about but not as much as Oregon and not with the conviction a couple of them talked about the Ducks.pudgejeff wrote:I hope I'm wrong...And I have no inside info or anything or am trying to say I know for a fact they're not coming...That's just the feel I get from watching that video...Great to here the confidence from Jhop and from the video I fully agree that if Kennan comes here McCain follows, no guarantee on King though although I think it helps hugely...But I just didn't get any sort of vibe they were coming here...But like It's always said, a different conversation with a different person can have things said so much differently and here's to hoping

Re: Greensboro Trio Video Interview
I think we will get McCain regardless of where Allen goes. I think we have a good shot at Allen and that we only have a shot at King if we get Allen, but I still see King going to Cal most likely. Which is too bad because he seemed like a great guy and a great player.

Re: Greensboro Trio Video Interview
You see that's where we differ in opinion about the tone in the video...I felt the tone spoke against Oregon...And I didn't sense any conviction whatsoever about Oregon from them...The only conviction I sensed was for Cal by King...The other two clearly stated 'Bama was on top...And like I said this was just one interview and it could mean nothing...I tend to believe more of the guys like Jhop and Mops because they have one on one's with them and don't steer them so like I said, here's to hopingHomeFieldAdvantage wrote:Besides being able to say "I told you so" I guess I dont see where you are getting that the video provided no evidence that they are coming to Oregon.

Pretty sure McCain said Oregon was on top for him.pudgejeff wrote:You see that's where we differ in opinion about the tone in the video...I felt the tone spoke against Oregon...And I didn't sense any conviction whatsoever about Oregon from them...The only conviction I sensed was for Cal by King...The other two clearly stated 'Bama was on top...And like I said this was just one interview and it could mean nothing...I tend to believe more of the guys like Jhop and Mops because they have one on one's with them and don't steer them so like I said, here's to hopingHomeFieldAdvantage wrote:Besides being able to say "I told you so" I guess I dont see where you are getting that the video provided no evidence that they are coming to Oregon.

Re: Greensboro Trio Video Interview
They seemed like a great group of guys and I normally "get a good feel" one way or the other about these things but not from that video...we will see soon enough though!

Re: Greensboro Trio Video Interview
I'm gonna agree with pudgejeff, mainly on the fact that throughout my recruiting experiences in the last two years, I've learned to not get my hopes up. So If I'm pessimistic, and the NC trio do come here, I'll be pleasantly surprised.jhopduck wrote:Bet you some hard earned money there negative nelly pudgejeff.

Re: Greensboro Trio Video Interview
After 4 days of camping in Eastern Washington, it's nice to come home and get a good laugh from these 3 guys.
All of them have such a unique personality. I don't think I've ever wanted a group of players to commit to Oregon so badly before.

Isn't one of those guys the guy who admitted he talked to these kids with "green glasses on" or something along those lines and said he recruited certain kids on the phone? Seems like steering to me. I hope he doesn't do that. Hard to get accurate info if that's the case.
With that, me thinks we get Allen and the tall skinny kid

Re: Greensboro Trio Video Interview
I'm quite certain that nobody here said that they are recruiting anyone as that would be a recruiting violation and get the school in hot water.

Re: Greensboro Trio Video Interview
Mops nor myself do that in any fashion. I tend to look at quotes maybe with green glasses on sure, but that's about it.
