5-6 spots left (assuming there will also be some transfers)

Luckily we finish strong, I feel great about every position other than OLine...hopefully that silent is a OLine guy.

To get over the hump in our future BIG games we are going to need quality depth in the trenches so next year and beyond we have have stronger OLine recruiting...sorry for beating a dead horse.

I wish we knew who this supposed silent was. Rumor is it is a O-Lineman but I havent heard any possible rumor's. On the other hand all my info comes from this sight. So I am a long way from being in the loop.

[Sooth]

true or not, the rumor is probably about kyle murphy.

[DmoneyDuck]

What rumor? We have a silent commit not named Buckner?

There was a rumor of a silent from a 5* and/or o-lineman. Nothing else is known yet.

[RanDux]

Any idea when the silent will be announcing?

[headshottzzzz]

Any idea when the silent will be announcing?

If nobody knows who he is, how would any of us know when he's announcing?

Pharaoh Brown was a silent commit, but there might be multiple silents. As for Murphy, everything I've read indicates Stanford, but sometimes in recruiting everyone gets it wrong.

[vagusnerve]

Yeah, I wonder if the people with the pay site's know who this silent commit is?

I mean, do those sites actually have real info or is it all just a place to discuss things with more activity?

[hines]

the silent is Buckner. sheesh.

[TheMaehlMan]

the silent is Buckner. sheesh.

I agree with this, but Pharaoh Brown was a silent commit as well.

[woundedknees]

And neither is a 5 star... Guess that's why they call it a rumor.

If there's a 5* silent then it's the best kept silent in many years. Kids of that magnitude aren't typically silents. The only 2 OLs that could fit that bill would be Kyle Murphy & Arik Armstead. The latter is not a silent and most feel we're mostly out of it. Murphy on the other hand is much more in play for us, but by most accounts out there we're at best in 2nd place with SC, but likely trailing Stanford. If he was indeed a silent there would likely be some leaks suggesting something was up with him but there aren't any.

On defense, Ellis McCarthy & Shaq Thompson are 5*s on one or both primary services, but there are no rumors even remotely suggesting we are the leader for either kid. There are a few other 5*s that have listed Oregon, but none of them have even visited such as Trey Williams & Darius Hamilton.

Can't remember where I read it, but it appears that Shaq is recruiting for Cal and is the reason why McCarthy and Armstead are moving away from Oregon

C'mon guys, there's no silent 5* commit.
