LMAO ROLF OMG HAHA LOL

How can a halfway intelligent person visit Corvallis and decide this is where they want to live for the next 4-5 years? Unbelievable.

I unfortunately am a OSU student who grew up in Eugene. I have hated my time in Corvallis and find it to be an awful place to spend 4-5 of your best years. When you are in your late teens and early twenties Corvallis is like being exiled to your grandmas. Awful. Boring. Average. Blah

I would have gone gone to LCC before OSU

Hey, kid!

Come to CornValley and block for the greatest running back in NCAA history! You might get him an 8 yard TD run!

[jasnwip]

Every year I get suprised by a couple of kids....... but this is unreal!!! Why would he choose OSU? It smells of a confidence issue to me. He believes he can start next year at OSU and not at Stanford? I wonder if we made the mistake of believing we had not shot and he was a done deal to Stanford. Not second guessing anyone but I sure hope we didn't let up.

ahahahaha. Welcome to the crazy world of recruiting.

I'm still trying to figure out how this makes sense.. Not working. Unbelievable.

[wlduck]

Lets face it, the Beavs are winning games, Riley has an outstanding reputation, and they have upgraded the facilities. They are going to start getting a better type of recruit, and from time to time snag a good one.

Give em their props.

I agree, Riley is a good coach, the Beavers staff are good at developing their players and the team is winning games. I don't think any of us would be suprised for them to snag a couple of 4* players but I think most everybody on here thought Phillip would be a Tree or a Duck. To turn down the academics at Stanford for 4 years of time spent in Corvalis is behind belief.

Yeah, I think he surprised everybody. But the rodents will have to be taken more seriously in the recruiting business going forward.

[dthomas=ddixon]

It's going to take more than the beevs getting one 4* lineman for me to take them seriously in recruiting. They always will get one or 4* kids just because they are a Pac-10 school. They will continue to be way below Oregon in talent, speed, strength, etc.

[duckgrad99]

What's amazing about Oregon state is that they don't have a lot of the luxuries that the other pac-10 schools have, yet they have been a pretty darn good football team the past decade or so. Still, I would really like to hear from Phillip why he chose the Beavers over Stanford.

[ducksin2010]

I still don't believe this. NO ONE LIKES CORVALLIS!!

I would never go to OS, never ever. Words can't describe how much I hate them.

"Let's see, I'm a 4-star o-lineman from California;
under the scarlet hat there is an up-and-coming program, a very good coach, education from a top-5 institution in the country.
Under the green hat is a top-10 ranking along with best facilities, top-rated o-line coach and 2nd-best rushing Offense in the country.
under the orange hat is a decent 9-win program and...uhhhh...I don't know why, but gosh-darnit I'm picking the orange hat."

All I've got is he got his U of O and OSU mixed up.

It happens all the time... it pisses me off every time

Fortunately, (and I'm thinking only of the young man) he still has time to de-commit.

No joke, for his sake I would rather see him at Stanford than in Corvallis.
