we are tapping the florida and Texas pipeline for recruits now and that makes it good for the future...I mean at one time Oregon couldn't even tap that area or locale! Oregon is on its way up!..if Eric works hard he can improve and be used in Oregon's defensive scheme! or even on CK's offense...
like the new avatarksmack wrote:Don't worry everyone... we will at least bring on a couple of pac 10 worth DT and to be truthful they won't be 5 star, however 3 star not bad! shoot look at Isaac remington he is listed at 3 star but I am sure that does not do him justice!
on Eric Dungy remember duck quacks!
Oregon will be fine!
That would certainly help recruiting in the future, wouldn't it? I can hear Lane Kiffin now--"you know if you commit to Oregon they may pull the offer on LOI day when you have no other options, don't you?"sx1080 wrote:I say drop the Long snapper, Dungy, and take 4 of those guys and hope two pan out.
Thank God stars are the only thing that matters in recruitingsx1080 wrote:vagusnerve wrote:I agree.
We've got Clay at long snapper. Dungy plays two positions at which we are absolutely loaded.
Drop Scales, Howell and Dungy, and sign five or six DTs.... maybe one of them well pan out!
Seriously though, i dont know how ethical it is to drop these guys at the last minute, but maybe its a possibility?
not ethical , but you can greyshirt them and if they say no, bye bye.
The LS is a joke. 210 lbs.???
And Dungy was a favor to his DAd. Maybe that will pay off with future years.
Scales was offerred to lure McCain, King, and Allen. Fail.
First off, Dungy was offered by Florida State, Louisville, USF, and Minnesota among others. Definitely not the greatest offer list but not horrible either. James Scales doesn't have the greatest offer list either (Duke, Louisville, Kentucky, Ohio and Oregon), but also not piss poor. Patrick Chung, in comparison, had offers from Oregon and Wyoming. He had Colorado State, Oregon State, UCLA, and USC also listed as schools of interest but showed no offers from them. By your logic, Patrick Chung shouldn't have been worthy of a scholarship offer and should have been cut off then and there. My point is that the coaches know what they're doing. Maybe they offered these guys for the reasons you pointed out and maybe not, who knows. We can't really judge if these guys are or aren't Pac-10 worthy players until a few years later.vagusnerve wrote:GoDucks,
I don't think its about stars.
Its about offers and talent.
Scales has no real offers besides Oregon. Why do you think he's still with UO when all his buddies are going to Cal? Cause nobody else is dumb enough to offer him. We misjudged that situation big time, and offered Scales too soon. It should have been a conditional offer (ie allen and king and mccain sign, then you can come).
Plus, Scales just does not have the size to play in the Pac 10. He is about 5.7 and 175 lbs, and he's slow like a DT. Really, he is really small and really slow.
Dungy wasn't recruited by anyone either, and he plays in Florida. Plus, you'd think a famous coaches son would be getting some attention, if nothing else but for his pedigree. He didn't. FSU put a greyshirt offer on the table and then revoked it. He's a Duck because Kelly is the only coach from a legit team that offered him. I've read from people that watched his HS team, he wasn't even a standout.
It does sound like either of these guys are Division I prospects.

Some of us believe in you, Scales!
Jairus Byrd had no other offers listed on Scout (http://oregon.scout.com/a.z?s=128&p=8&c=1&nid=1173860) and Max Unger only other listed offer was Oregon State (http://oregon.scout.com/a.z?s=128&p=8&c=1&nid=932822). Both are starters in their NFL rookie year but by your logic they didn't deserve a scholarship.vagusnerve wrote:GoDucks,
