If you look at the stuff that Scales, DWilliams, Huff & Dior Mathis have posted today, they were really standing at the fax machine waiting to commit this morning. They are excited about being here and what lies ahead. I don't have much patience with high school guys that you have to basically kiss their butt to get them to come here. NEXT......as far as I'm concerned. Step up or step out. Those that don't commit, it's their loss. Good luck, especially at UCLA where I'm sure promises were made that will not come to fruition. Just leaves room for guys that really want to be here.
P.S. Not saying King was a prima dona, just talking about some guys in general.

Could be that Chip just wasn't feeling it from Gabe. Maybe Gabe told Chip one thing, then did something else. It's hard to say. Chip seems very straight forward to me & isn't into wasting time with guys that he feels the need to lie to. There are 10 guys lined up out the door wanting the opportunity to come to Oregon. Yeah, they may be 3 or 4*'s, but their work ethic will definitely be better than the dude that Chip can't trust 100%. With Heimuli, maybe they made a few last minute phone calls & let him know they were still interested so he decided to come here. You never know. Maybe NewWeasel was too busy to follow up and let him slip through.
I'm just speculating. As Chip said today, the coaches didn't wait around the fax, they were out working with the team. And if you could see the FB posts by many of the players, they're hurtin'! Especially the new JC guys - Coach Rad has been killing them this week.

BTW, after hearing OWA's presser, do any of you want to have your building designed by this skolar? Ya, I said it. PC guys, give it a rest.
Yeah i heard it. Obviously, you must be some kind of genius yourself based on that crappy comment and your inability to spell scholar. I thought the kid was thoughtful and genuinely humble.
You know me so well.
