Transfer Rumor

[jimmy12]

Has anyone confirmed who may be coming to Oregon? I have seen it mentioned a few times on various sites and supposedly it was discussed on the radio a couple of days ago. Any insight would be appreciated.

My best guess is people are expecting Josh Shirley to transfer from UCLA, but UW fans seem to think he is going there.

Frankly, I hope it is someone else, transferring to Oregon. We could live without the grief of taking him in. But if it was the only way to keep him from going to the dawgs, the grief might by worth it.

There's a rumor of a transfer, no names have been mentioned? How good for the program would it be if we took one of these purse theives in? I believe in giving second chances but is it something we can afford to do too much of at this point?

[dthomas=ddixon]

I'd take him.

No way on any of the UCLA threesome. We just kicked Masoli off the team primarily due to the theft. Sure CK gave him another chance and he's gone due to blowing that; however, I think it sends a very unsettling msg to the rest of our team if we bring in 3 kids who just got the boot for robbery, etc.

totally agree- I think CHip would be risking a whole lot from a credibility point if these UCLA guys came in. I guess you never say never but I really hope not. Our UW and OSU friends would be all over this like white on rice. I understood why they did what they did on the kid from Texas but this one would be very risky.

Masoli wasn;t kicked off the team for theft....

He was put on thin ice for theft...and put on thinner ice for lying about it....and kicked off because he was clearly not reforming his ways....

There is a big difference....I might add that it was quite smug of Masoli to show such disregard for his chances and that didn;t help his cause

Who gives two Sh*y's about what people from UW and OsuckU? There not even good programs. And even if they were people deserve a second chance. People right now say no, but if we picked them up and CK worked some magic on them and they turned out to be stars and never got into anymore trouble he would be a genius. I understand that this might be bad timing, but I think people should be givin a second chance. Just my thoughts and I hope no one takes it the wrong way.

This. Are we really still worried about what beev & fusky fans think? Really? Worst case, these dudes mess up & Chip dumps em. Thats it. Best case, they all come here, take advantage of their second chance & become great Ducks.

+1. If UW or OSewe got transfers who were previously in trouble, they wouldn't raise a stink about it at all and they would talk about how everyone deserves a second chance. Rival fans will always hold each other to a double standard they don't always apply to their own school. If there are indeed transfers coming, CK has probably done his homework on them. He did it with Marcus Davis so he'll do it again if it calls for it.

Jealousy is a powerful motivator....

And isn't UW in the running to get at least 1 of them? Talk about hypocritical and just jealous if they lose out on them to us.

Could it be Devon Kennard?

Wasn't Oregon somewhat in the mix for him when he came out of high school?

Looks like we were on his "short list" but he never visited (he visited Cal and Texas)... and for what its worth he was recruited by Robin Plfugrad...

Did you read the entire thread? Kennard isn't currently unhappy at USC. He's adjusting to life as a LB quite well according to his own quotes during their Spring practices in April.
