Poll: so...who are we gonna get?

[NCDucks09]

So why, when we have a Defensive backfield made up of 3 first day NFL picks & another likely late rounder, did we get picked apart through the air all season in 08? The Dline was really good that year. We were top 25 in run D & Reed and Tukuafu were all over QBs. Thats because of coaching.

EVERY team would be great if every position had all 4-5*s but thats completely unrealistic. We aren't SC or Texas or Florida. To say that thats the solution is just silly. Of course our D would be good if we were loaded with 4 & 5*s. Duh.

Next years Dline will be good. We have a lot of veteran size & strength coming back. Its not next year that is the problem. Its once all those guys graduate after next year. We will need some DTs to step in. Again, we don't need DT recruits for next year, its the years after next.

I will agree, from a D perspective, we underachieved greatly in 2008. That's philosophy, we would sell out on the run, with LB and DB support, then get torched on play-action pass. It was disgusting and very hard to sit through games like Arizona and BSU, even though we beat UA.

However, with less returning talent in the secondary and D-line we actually played better Defense in 2009, until the latter part of these season, which I attribute to a combination of playing the better teams in the conference (i.e. SC, Stanford, UA, OSU), and late-season cumulative wear and tear.

The better performance is also due to Coaching changes as well, new D-line coach Azz and Kelly's influence...

The current leaders are Dargan, followed by Lache, Owa and King. I hope everyone is right.

I have some inside info, but after all of the hoopla and banning of Ksmack, I am wary to post anything. However, I will tell you it is one of these 4 Players:

1. Owa
2. Lache Seastrunk
3. Bjoern Werner
4. Ricky Heimuli
(I'm about 99.99% sure on this)

BTW: I voted for Owa, Lache, Werner, Heimuli, Dargan, and Other.

On Ricky or one of the four?

[mijaha]

What a tease....................a hit maybe #1?????

[briarduck]

Thanks any one of the four would be sweet...lets hope its Owa, Ricky or Werner!

And I voted for:
Owa (home state guy stays home)
King (my gut says...)
Lache (from all that we've read and heard)
Werner (Our glaring weakness and our program)
Ricky (same as Werner but even more so...)
Dargan (same as Lache)

GO DUCKS!!

Lol you won't be banned. Part of the reason ksmack was also banned was the complaints we were getting from some members. Just don't post 30 times in one day about your hundreds of your "sources" and post pictures of recruits with their girlfriends, and I promise you won't be banned.

You gotta believe it's Lache. Makes the most sense. Some are even saying that Latts lack of interest had more to do with the coaches turning him down, which would point all signs to Lache.

The good news, exactly two weeks and all our questions are answered. And for Lache, only 8 days.

I'd rather have Lache than Latt anyways. Fits better into our scheme.

If we score one DT, DE and Dargan from that list to boot, we will be in great shape!

Yeah agreed. I like Lache a lot more than Latt. Latt just has never impressed me. Lache, Dargan, King/Owa & Ricky/Werner and I will be a happy man on LOI day.

And no I am not talking about "sources" right now:

Owa: Ucla 60% vs. Oregon 40%
Seastrunk (after the girlfriend and her attending LSU and my inside sources that I was put on blast for..):
we'll see!
King: Oregon 70% vs Cal 30%
Dargan: Oregon 80% vs Ucla 20%
Werner: Oregon 20% vs other schools 80%
Hemuili: Oregon = goes on mission. (on hold)
Jefferson: UCLA
Baxter: Oregon 60% vs Other schools 40%

hopefully all these guys put on the O hats on!

[scaredhitless08]

Werner: Oregon 20% vs other schools 80%
Baxter: Oregon 60% vs Other schools 40%

Werner down to us and FSU I thought, I think we have a little better shot.

I'm surprised a little that you're giving us a 60% chance of landing Baxter. I've just about given up hope on him, I figured it's 80% Gators, 10% USC and 10% Us.

Not trying to hate but these are way off.

OWA: Nebraska 50 % Oregon 40% UCLA 10%
Dargan: 99% Oregon
Werner: 50% Oregon 50% FSU
Ricky : Utah 50% Oregon 25% ( but this is the one that is the hardest to read)
Jefferson: UCLA 60% Oregon 40%
Baxter : Oregon -0% USC 90% Florida 10%]
King : Cal 80% Oregon 20%

[ksmack]

Even by landing 50% percent on this list would be huge!!! GO DUCKS!
