Serra Trio Recruiting News

[briarduck]

Well that sucks...WHAT ARE THEY SEEING AT CAL?

I guess they all want degrees because they have NO future in FB!:lol:

Ya ya I know CAL is a good school what are they going to school for anyhow...because that's a big an issue as anything!

On a side note, I wonder if firing Tedford will help us any. He (and other ex-coaches) knows most of all the negatives about Eugene and I'm sure a coaches change with assitants will help us down the road...time will tell.

Very frustrating!

You realize that Cal is #10 in the country in total NFL players, right? Cal gives the best of both worlds (academic support/nfl placement).

I know I didn't make it clear enough but yes I know what CAL has to offer is beyond what we can, not to mention the city is better....its still frustrating losing recruits to them every year.

[Quackers]

Well, no, I wouldn't go that far. Oregon is 3rd right behind Cal (in the pac 10) in draft picks this decade, you can't go wrong or negatively recruit against either school for not putting players in the NFL.

It just seems like UO loses recruits to Cal a lot because it's something that sticks out more than when a player picks UO over Cal (from your perspective).

Oregon got all those LBs a few years back, Lokombo, LittleJohn, etc..etc... and I believe Cal offered all of them. I believe Cal also offered a lot of the OL UO got this year.

Yes, it's annoying to lose so many top players to Cal, but they don't really do anything with them. Location and academics is what really draws recruits, but Oregon's winning will eventually turn the tide. I might be in the minority here in that I hope Tedford stays at Cal. He's a good recruiter but a mediocre coach. I would rather lose recruits if it means beating him constantly.

Wow, F*** Cal. Seriously. Starting to hate that team almost as much as the Huskies and Beavers.

Well, their fans seem to hate us more than just about anyone so I guess that's fair.

So Gibson to Cal, Lee and Farmer to SC? Seems that way. Oh well.

So much for Lee "wanting to leave the area and possibly the state."

Everyone was saying French to ND or Iowa too. It ain't over until it's over. Don't think Chip's done an in house yet, if he does things could change again quickly.

I was going to say the same thing...

Last year, according to the recruiting sites Ricky was a "lean" to Utah or BYU the whole season, yet according to him, Oregon always led for him...

Josh Huff "Committed" to 4 different schools.

Ethan Grant was "all Oregon"...

The list goes on

Have some perspective people!

[dthomas=ddixon]

Meh. We're already playing in the title game without em. Would they be great additions? Of course but we're getting better recruits than we've ever had already. I'm sure Farmer & the bunch will be successful but we'll still be WTD'ing it without em.

FWIW, Gibson said he had lots of friends going to Cal, and I saw some of his friends posting on his FB about it like a few weeks ago. I'm sure that plays a little role as well. All the little things add up, like Tosh's 360 skills.

Yeah that may be. They just don't add up to a conference championship, undefeated season, and NC appearance............or a mediocre bowl game this year for that matter......... Gotta hand it to Tedford though: no one can underachieve with better talent quite like him.

Even though these guys get scholarship offers for football, this decision is far from being only about football. Not saying you don't realize that but some people on here seem to forget as I do myself when I really want to see a recruit come here.

I've never got too excited about Farmer even when it looked like we had a good chance because of his family ties to SC, legacies like that just don't get away from programs like SC. Gibson has favored Cal for a long time and that seems to only have gotten stronger lately. But, I wouldn't close the book on Lee just yet.

A couple different insiders have suggested that, while he and Farmer are very close, the notion that they're absolutely going to the same school has been a little overblown. SC has never made Lee a priority and it's possible that they only offered him when they felt that Farmer was getting away from them. It seems that Lee is aware of this and that's why he's always been luke warm about SC. It will come down to UO and SC for Lee and I wouldn't be shocked if he chose either.

Cal, according to some rumors, may land the entire trio. Mind boggling.

Edit: I'm at the point where I'm not going to concern myself with this any longer. Cal, USC? Who knows. Eugene is the greatest flaw in Oregon's recruiting efforts though.
