Signing Day Thread (Wednesday February 1st)

Sounds like he leaning to Oregon after the visit but SC won out due to his family. Another bad break there. Sure if Taggart had more time to develop a relationship and actually had a TE coach, things may have been different.

Could Taggart's tease of a big surprise be a TE commit that isn't on anyone's radars?

[duckfan22]

Falo to SC.

Not happy about this one. I'd dare say it's a huge loss. If there was one recruit we had to get...

Sucks but things will be fine, the coaches will have a full year of recruiting this next class which will be a bigger than normal one and will be better able to get these kind of impact players. This is why I never buy into the inside information people have because when it doesn't happen we are all upset and the sky is falling. I would rather be pleasantly surprised not thinking a guy is coming here and does, ie DAT It is very difficult to get a guy over USC but considering everything these coaches were up against it made it even more challenging.

couldnt have said it better...

Falo just committed to USC. Down to Lenoir to salvage the day.

SURPRISE!

They'd be taking a real flyer on someone so I'm kinda doubting it. It was a real weak TE class on the West Coast so given the time crunch for this staff and the Reaves incident, they were put in a bad situation, although letting Robinson-Carr go is looking like a big mistake.

If Breeland doesn't get injured he is going to have a monster year

[Duckenstein]

Letting Robinson Carr go was idiotic. If they didn't have Falo in the bag how could they not look for other tes?

That's a big if since TEs tend to get injured due to all the collisions and hits they take. People better be prepared to see some walk-ons get major PT this year.

Eh, Breeland, McCormick, Mattingly should be plenty.

2018 will be a much better indicator of Taggart and his staff's ability to recruit. That being said, Taggart did a pretty nice job of keeping the class intact and adding some nice pieces.

Agreed. If I'm evaluating this class, it doesn't stand out vs. a Helfrich class, and most of the best players were Helfrich signees, but Taggart did a great job of keeping them on board and even added a few. All the Florida WR/RB guys might be redundant (I think I counted 9 between those two positions in the class?) but we'll just have to see how they turn out and how they are used. Overall, a great effort to make the transition as seamless as possible.

Considering the way last years class finished and the fcat that a lot of this years commits were looking around, I think Taggart and staff should get a lot of credit for keeping the class in tact. As well as adding quite a few great players.

We also have Matt Mariota at TE

I don't know. Just have to look at last season to see that 3 TEs won't be enough. At times, they had only one healthy TE and had McCormick not been recovering from injury, he would have had his RS pulled.

Listening to Leavitt narrate at the Oregon Club luncheon is just so fun. His talks like his tweets.

Look at the last few seasons, at any given time it seemed like one or two of the three TEs were injured for the Ducks, it is not ideal for depth but I don't think it is anything for us fans to freak out about and believe the sky is falling. I am sure the coaches will do the job they are paid extremely well to do and will adjust and do just fine. I am not worried. It could be worse, Helf and company could still be coaching the Ducks.
