I was joking when I said we needed a Tosh type recruiter...... sure he can recruit but can he coach. I think we have some good recruiters but some great coaches!

I think the new coaches will end up getting better recruits the longer they are here. Azz and Frost have already pulled in a couple of top recruits. Sure we don't have the young guy that can more closely relate but if Oregon wins another conference championship and can win the Rose Bowl or better yet a NC (or at least go to it) and can continue to put together 10+ win seasons ans regularly win conference titles and play in BCS games as well as continue to put guys in the NFL then it won't matter whether we have a guy that is young and plays video games with the guys. We will then start beating out Cal for those guys as well as steal a couple of guys from USC.

I agree. Another factor is it doesn't matter sometimes
who the coach is. The kid may want to stay close to
home in california. And there is the parental influences.
You can have the top facilities, the best coaches, sometimes
it comes down to how comfortable the kid is when all
is said and done. How soon the kid see's himself playing.
How did his interaction with the current players go on
his recruiting trip here. Did he meet any other recruits and
a friendship started, they decide to go to same school.
These poor kids are pulled in so many directions, school,
mom and dad, friends, recruiters that the pressure can
sometimes they have to be overwhelmed.

Well as mentioned earlier Alualu went 10th overall and right now Cameron Jordan is grading out as 2nd round pick with 1st round ceiling.

Deandre Coleman (laff at Washington for ripping this guy) has a #1 overall pick ceiling as a Red shirt Frosh. (No that doens't mean he'd be the #1 pick after this year it means after his redshirt Junior year he has the ability/measurables to be the #1 pick overall)

based on one game vs the UC Davis oline?

Keenan Allen on the otherhand no matter the opponent looked very promising.
