Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Dam, I hope we get this kid. By the time he's a freshman in college he will not only be the fastest college football player in America he'll be probably be the fastest college track athlete in America.
2013 is a long time to wait.

I don't like some of the quotes from that article though...

Tyner is far from reaching a college decision. He knows he wants to compete in both football and track and field.

“I can tell you this,” he says. “The rain isn’t the best for a sprinter. I want to get some place warm, some place good for my body. Oregon’s not the best for that.

“Oregon has a great track program, and Oregon State’s getting a (men’s) track program, too. Football does matter to me, and they’ll be high on my list. But I’ll looking at schools outside the state, too.”

Well, unless he plans on going to LSU or TAMU, there aren't any FB + TF combinations that can rival ours.

He's really going to have to decide which sport he has more of a future in since splitting his time won't help him reach his peak potential in either sport. If he keeps getting his times down, he may have more of future in T&F so may want to go to a program more known for producing sprinters. I do have a feeling that he'll end up as more of a football-first type guy who happens to run track also.

Ya those quotes don't sound good at all...damn! I wonder if we have future plans to build an indoor T&F arena to attract sprinters but meets are all over including "rainy" places....so I hope he stays home and is a DUCK!

This from someone who has 13,931 posts on educk, thats THIRTEEN THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED THIRTY ONE POSTS........on a recruiting site! And your giving us crap us about getting excited about a great Oregon recruit.

Here's another article from last oct.

"Whether you call it game speed, this speed or that speed, he's got it," Aloha head coach Chris Casey said. "He's the fastest guy I've ever coached and that includes coaching 19 years at the college level."

"Tyner has exceptional speed but what impresses me even more about him is his cutback ability and balance," Gorney said. "I've seen multiple times where he's close to being tackled or almost falling down and then somehow gets upright and keeps running."

here's the deal kiddo. it's good to see you hold on to and not let go of the year 2005 but let me help you. when one brings up a post count on a message board, you've lost the argument. fwiw, educk, this site, rivals, and 24/7 aren't just recruiting sites. you do realize that right? if not, now you do.....

and in conclusion

we currently lead for a sophmore in HS. could he change his mind? yes. will he? possibly. does it matter AT ALL right now? no. why? because my brain is powerful and any attempt to calm down knuckleheads who worry about a date that is about 20 months away does humor me. why you would quote an article from 8 months ago is amazing but heh, you're you and let's thank god for that.

moving on...

Some people take their interwebs too seriously..that is why.

awww man, dont take my interwebs away from me! I will be forced to live in the real world!

Man you guys are so desperate to get at hines. Anytime he posts there 4-5 posters who immediately jump all over him. You make yourselves look just as lame & "mean" as you all claim him to be.

And he posted exactly what my thoughts were. We lead for him at the moment & he's SIXTEEN. At that age there's a trillion things going through your mind every day, especially as a star track & football athlete. I really couldn't care less what he has to say at this point. In the end, with the help up some smart mature adults around him, he will make the right decision. And its most likely gonna be the UofO, cuz thats what makes the most sense for him.

Hmm, and almost everytime someone voices their thoughts you seem to defend him.
