thanks wounded! and i agree, if any of these 3 kids go to chip and say they wanna commit, i think we'd take that guy and be done with qb recruiting for 2010.

there's just something about Brunetti that i really like; he seems calm and confident pre-snap, looks to have a solid arm and looks like a great runner. i also like the offense his school is running, seems like a similar spread offense to what we run with the zone read plays, and that may help with the transition to the next level.

there was a rivals video of several of the 2010 qbs and in it, he mentions Oregon first when naming schools he's interested in (not sure if that means anything). i'm hoping we offer soon, assuming we haven't already looking at his rivals profile.

“He wanted to know some of the schools I was considering, and I named some off the top of my head,” Bell said. “I guess (the reporter) thought that was my top 10. It was a mistake, but it’s no big deal, but I’m still very open. I’m going on a whole bunch of trips, then after that I’ll narrow it down a lot more.”

Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska, Georgia, UCLA, Clemson, Notre Dame, LSU, Iowa and Iowa State were mentioned in the story. Bell later mentioned Texas A&M, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Colorado State and Kansas as schools he’s interested in.
We're still not on the list... Oh well

Broadway is the guy who has always been my favorite and his video was really good. But Brunetti's video was really amazing and he may be my new favorite. Bolden really didn't impress me that much and I don't understand why he'd be Chip's #1

Maybe Bolden has given CK some encouragement that he hasn't received from the others...

that could change if masoli contiune to dominate on offense in passing/rushing. It could convice bolden to believe he can do same thing as masoli.

I thought the Brunetti film showed the player that looked the best, but just about every highlight came against one team! They must have really pasted those guys bad. The Bolden film really wasn't really a highlight film at all. The third or fourth play shows him overthrowing a receiver 5 yards over the guys head. A series of 4 yard runs, incomplete passes, and even him getting sacked a few times. But the competition level seemed to be ALOT better than Brunetti's.

Blkake Bell film... And no, Oregon isn't on this list, either.

Overall, the best thing about Bell is his upside to be much better in two to three years than he is now which excites coaches with his high ceiling for development. He has the arm, measurables and athleticism to succeed and he also appears to be highly competitive in terms of intangibles.
