Transfer Rumor

[hines]

Owa is the only one that would cause me to get excited. I would actually be really excited if it is Owa but other than him, whatever. We don't really need anyone.

considering Owa probably didn't have us in his final 5, it would be more than a surprise.

No kidding. This thread has gotten completely out of hand . I highly doubt anything even happens. Fun to talk about & keep our thoughts occupied while waiting for football to start though.

How do you think he didn't have us in his top 5?

Not that I know anything special, but he DID want sports Marketing, which we have an amazing program, he WAS interested in staying close, which we are, he could've played right away, we had an amazing year that he got to watch firsthand...

I know it was disappointing to miss out on an elite guy in your own backyard like that, but don't you think saying we weren't in his final 5 is a bit of an overexaggeration?

Didn't his selection table only have 4 hats, of which the yellow O was one of them?

Bryce Brown was reported as a free agent, and visited KSU recently, but apparently left unimpressed... According to Jhops twitter, Knoxville media outlets are saying he is to meet with UT officials soon.

Wonder if he has talked with Oregon coaches at all.

Regarding Owa, I happen to know some close friends/ex-classmates of his, and the impression they got from him is that if he were to come back to the state of Oregon, it would be to OSU, not to U of O. He just happened to overall just like them more then he liked us. Take it for what its worth.

If it's anyone, I hope it's not Brown. We don't need that drama, and we have plenty of players that wanted to be at Oregon from the start. We are already loaded at running back anyway.

His final choices always came down to 3 teams; NB, OSU, and UCLA. There was no table with hats on it, just a podium that he produced a UCLA hat from. Not splitting hairs, but we were never in it.

I just hope whether it happens or not we get confirmation on who the original tweet was about.

Not willing to divulge a source here, but it looks like Bryce Brown will try to end up in Miami.

Sounds like his brother isn't transferring from there if Bryce is thinking of going there.

Greg Paulus.

Hasn't he run out of eligibility by now. He's one of those players who just never seems to leave college athletics.

I lol'd.

Another minor update via JHOP...

I asked him how Owa and Werner were dealing with their Frosh transitions, here's his response...

Justin Hopkins: @glazeduck I talked to Owa the other day in fact, things seem to be going really well for him. Werner I have not made any contact with.

So a few things from this... Sounds as if it's not Owa (DAMN!), and might not be Werner either.

Obviously JHOP visits these boards every now and then, so I would venture to guess that he probably knows about this thread, therefor it's extremely likely that he wouldn't be so obvious in giving me a hint as to who this rumor is about, or he could just be feeding me straight BS to cover his butt.

I'm too lazy to go ALLLL the way back to his first tweet about the rumored transfer, but if I remember correctly, the original message was something along the lines of "I'm hearing bla bla bla" suggesting that it might be secondhand info (ie NOT from the player's mouth himself), so based on that, if JHOPs giving me symantecal answers, it could still be Werner, even though he, himself, hasn't directly contacted him... doubtful though I think...

What about George Uko? He was recruited hard by us for a long time, and, while there were rumors of him playing games w/ us (and other teams), he might be upset by all the stuff going down at USC? Certainly seems to fit the other hints... Sionne Potoae? Rumors were flying before signing day that he was waivering and might jump to us instead. His dad's in the armed forces, so maybe our tribute at the spring game helped sway him from a decision he was already having second thoughts about?

Unless it's McCartney or another player mentioned in this thread... that's all I can think of.

I'm starting to think that there's really no legs to this rumor at this point.
