Projected final commits

[chapelhillduck]

King may not be able to come here....


Haloti seemed to do ok in NAs scheme.

are you implying something Howry?

this is from reading tons of boards and being in chat rooms ( no quotes from me):

OWA wants NU, it was only his mom he had to convince. OWA to NU. The Suh reference is garbage though. The odds of him being the next Suh are 1%. And Suh would have been great no matter where he went. NU coaches do not have any magic dust.

I also believe King will be at CAL. It is where he wants to be.

Werner ,as we know, is FSU vs. Ducks, it can go either way. No call here.

Lowe - Ducks poach Lowe from UW.

Dargan - Ducks

Lache - Ducks


that would be 20/21 commits. Still a big hole at DT. Ducks will have to go hard again next yr at DT.

those 20/21 commits will move Ducks to around 15 in final rankings. Not bad for Chips 1st class. So close for a few studs, but Bellotti was so close for a few studs yr after yr too.

There's a good change King comes to Oregon actually, he's listed as having the Ducks above Call at this point. There's Werner for DT as you mentioned, and then there's Ricky Heimuli as well, whom Oregon is battling UCLA for.

There's also the possibility that we steal a few local recruits, esp. from USC...although Baxter reaffirmed his commitment to USC the other day.

This could possibly end up one of the best Ducks recruiting classes ever. Chip Kelly may go down as one of the best first year coaches in college football if he wraps up a top 10 recruiting class.

Werner will be a Duck.

If Owa doesn't come, then King likely would. I'm telling you, he likes Oregon but was worried about Owa and his situation. If Owa goes elsewhere, then I think our chances with King go up greatly.

I don't see how Owa's decision would effect King. They play on opposite ends and he could only benefit from being on the field with Owa at the same time. I'm sure he's also been told this too.

I really doubt that playing time or competition is really factoring into either of these guys decision. I think with Owa, it boils down to distance. If he can convince his family that he wants to play for Nebraska, then that's where he goes. If he can't get them on board, he comes here.

With King, I think he really just wants to go to Cal and if we didn't have some of his friends on the team, I don't even think he would be considering us any longer. We'll see how it goes, but I would be pretty surprised if King ends up a duck at this point...regardless of where Owa goes.

I really hope we get at least one of these guys but I doubt it.

Owa'll be a Duck I think. Closer to home...and he's a got a better chance to play first here which is always a factor whether they admit it or not.

We did successfully recruit Myles Wade and Simi Fili (?) in 2007, and Justin Thompson the next year. All were DLmen of at least 4* rating. Had they qualified and at least a couple of them played well for the Ducks by now, this might be a whole different situation that Owa and King would be looking at in terms of some kind of recent DL "tradition." Those were just HUGE misses. Even though it doesn't look great for this year, I see no inherent reason why we won't ultimately be able to land d-linemen with Kelly and crew like we seem to be able to recruit every other position group.

Totally agree. I'll add that I'm also comfortable even letting Kelly & Azz "create" the players that we need -- example: turning a guy like Tony Washington into a DT, converting OL into DL, etc.

These guys know football. They'll get us what we need one way or another.

Amen to that. There's been a number of good examples the last couple years of transferring positions...it seems to work for the Ducks

[ksmack]

Having Owa and King would be great! We could use both, there is plenty of Room on the DL for both of them! One or the other is Hogwash honestly we Need both! GO DUCKS

Don't think either Owa or King will be Ducks based on collective news that's out there.

latest is Werner out too.


what a horrible two days

Who said Werner is out? Last substantial news was he would be a Duck. It seems like when a positive report comes out then is followed by a few days of silence, the good news is almost immediately fogotten & its back to doom & gloom. Again, Is there anything substantial or is it just the typical negaduck word on the street?

[duckgrad99]

Wouldn't be surprised if Lache goes elsehwere as well. I guess it's all speculation right now. Oh well, nothing we can do about it anyway.

Finally some sense in here! That is all that this is right now. Just hang tight and it will all be over soon! Either way, the Ducks will be fine.
