Allen, McCain, and King all to CAL?

[canaduck]

I think some people are overreacting because we aren't getting players we had hoped to get.

I think it's a fair assessment that we should "overreact" if the players we were expected to get all went to a different school. A lesser school on top of that. And a school in the same conference on top of that.

As stated before, Cal has a lot to offer.

Haha that's mostly what I meant, but when you couple that with weather, the preseason hype they normally get in recent years, you can see how a recruit might think they can be the little extra that can push Cal into the upper echelon of teams in the nation.

Although we beat them last year, they have had alot of success against us the past few years.

I'm not overreacting. Cal getting Allen, Meynard, King, McCain all in one day is a freaking MASSIVE pull. Don't try to down play this as just "you win some, you lose some". I'm sure they'll go there & win 7-8 games a year & play in the emerald bowl every year but still, getting all those guys, one a current Duck commit, all on signing day is HUGE. Cal does have a lot to offer & it doesn't surprise me that they out recruit us. They should & almost always do. But again, pulling all those guys in, stealing one from us, all last second is pretty insane.

Doesn't matter, Cal hasn't come close to being the program Oregon has been this past decade.

When was the last time that Oregon got 4 big-time recruits in one day? I don't think that it's happened, unless you include signining day, but even then it's only 1-2 big-time recruits. Even for not having the most recent success on the field, they seem to outrecruit (star-wise) Oregon for most of the recruits they both go after.

The worst part about it is that Oregon has been working on landing these guys as a package deal all year long and we weren't able to do it. Then Cal seems to swoop in out of nowhere and land them all. Top it off with the fact that all of the sudden the west coast isn't such an obstacle for Allen any longer and McCain is dropping us and it is a pretty swift kick to the nuts.

[duck55]

Amazing speculation by all on here. If I was one of these young men, like McCain and had no intent on walking from my commit, I would reconsider based upon everyone calling me "worthless, lazy, Kings sidekick, ...
Signing day should be interesting and can't get here soon enough.

king allen and maynard have all been reported by multiple websites to cal now.... mccain will be with them.. this is a serious kick in the nuts... we could of had all these guys now we get none.

Thats exactly why we're all taking this so hard. We've been working on these guys for almost a year but Cal comes in 2 days befor signing day & gets em all. Allen woulda been a Duck if it weren't for distance.. but now its Cal & distance doesn't mean anything. Like you said, swift kick to the nuts. You can spin this in a positive way all you want but no matter what, this SUCKS. Cal is a wannabe Oregon but they just straight up punked us. So did the "NC 4".
