Lake Koa Ka'ai fb post

Listen it comes down too, does he value winning football over higher standard of education??

Uh, I think Stanford's done pretty well lately on the football field.

Not as much as we have. Not much of a selling point, but I am trying to be positive.

idk honestly i'm not gonna rag on a guy at all if he chooses Stanford instead of us. If I were a big time recruit I think it would be hard to turn down Stanford in football and Duke in basketball even though I love my Ducks. The sports/academic combo at both is top notch

[TheMaehlMan]

But he has visited Stanford, many people thought they were the favorite before he picked Oregon. And with signing day just around the corner, it's a legitimate concern.

He's an underrated recruit, and he's a position we could really use.

I think you misunderstood me, I absolutely think he is a crucial part of our recruiting class. I was just pointing out that a Facebook post can really put us fans on the edge of our seats, and it sucks. I actually thought he was going to Stanford or Nebraska before he committed to us, hopefully he is still a Duck.

Oh my bad. Anytime one of your player says something that hints at a possible decommitment, it sucks. Especially when it's someone like Ka'ai who is a really good recruit.

I think he stays with Oregon since I thought Stanford was his 3rd choice, with Nebraska at #2.

Agreed, hopefully he's just pondering but still wants to be a Duck. We need defensive linemen, and Ka'ai could be an excellent one.

It is possible he had a low ACT score and just got a higher one back, 5-8 weeks post December 11 test now. SAT test of Dec 4 was available DEC 21 so that is unlikely and the Jan test is not available, yet. Stanford's requires a minimum test score and SAT or ACT, so if he was late too apply, like a month ago that would be the only reason he would have just found out but unlikely, since the coaches know the minimum required GPA and SAT/ACT combo. And then it is basically automatic to be accepted if you are a recruited athlete. Perhaps he needed to get a passing or higher/grade in a class and just got his grades back which for some schools have just come out. I knew a few years ago it was a of 1320, old SAT, so like 1980 new SAT, now and a 3.7 GPA in and all the required college prep courses. If he had a higher GPA it would be lower scores minimum.

I'm pretty sure Stanford won't offer a kid unless they A) already know the school will accept him b) know he has great grades and school will accept him. When he got offered by the tree, he knew he could get into Stanford, and he committed to UO anyways.

1 more thing it's not DUCK NATION! That's the little beavs to the north who think they are a nation, not UO. Wish I had the funny map of the beav nation, it shows a beaver and basically just has a map of Corvallis, Albany and Lebanon and maybe Sweet home.

Koa Ka'ai has a tough choice, Excellent Stanford academics, free. Or Oregon football experience, with above average academics.

I loved my time and education I recieved at Oregon, but lets be real, UO is the definition of average academics.

[Sooth]

Lake ain't no tree.

[canaduck]

Could just be bragging on Facebook about having good enough grades to get into Stanford.

I know a lot of people who apply to a school that may be harder to get into, with no real intention of going their other then seeing if they would be accepted.

Come on man, I love Oregon, but it's the definition of "average" in terms of academics.

[buckmarkduck]

At #111, there are a few hundred schools ranked below UO in the US.

Anyways Lake is coming to UO.
