Interesting note although it seems like it is just a matter of time for him now.

Re: Tyner on the "verge of committing?"
I bet it turns out to be nothing though since JHop has a tendency to post something like this to get hits. As for other things he said, JHop did say that they only had one official visit from a 2012 recruit (Reggie Daniels) but a lot of unofficials from 2013 recruits. Seems like Buckner, Uzoma, and Seymour are going to reschedule their visits.

If I was them I would rather be here for the USC game.greenyellow wrote:I bet it turns out to be nothing though since JHop has a tendency to post something like this to get hits.

Re: Tyner on the "verge of committing?"
Wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. Oregon will probably still get the majority of their visits in January after bowl season since that seems to be what they usually do.RebelDuck wrote:If I was them I would rather be here for the USC game.greenyellow wrote:I bet it turns out to be nothing though since JHop has a tendency to post something like this to get hits.

It worked for Tyson Coleman but I remember him being all Oregon prior to his commitment. Tyner is pretty quiet regarding his interests.Biggus Duckus wrote:Tyner is a 2013 recruit, right?

Didn't White commit to UO as a SO? Tyner is only considering UO and OS, and OS is wayyy back in this race. He will be a duck. IMO our biggest challenge is if he decides to only run track or not, not if he will come to UO.

Re: Tyner on the "verge of committing?"
Difference is Tyner is from Oregon, not the farthest state away. It'd be more like Curtis white or Tyson Coleman. Which worked out fine.Biggus Duckus wrote:Tyner is a 2013 recruit, right?

Re: Tyner on the "verge of committing?"
Look, it's better to have the commitment than not have it. And odds are good he will stick. I just don't get very excited about a junior committing for a variety of reasons.dthomas=ddixon wrote:Difference is Tyner is from Oregon, not the farthest state away.

Re: Tyner on the "verge of committing?"
Without a doubt. I really haven't followed his recruitment that closely & all the JHop "updates" I mostly ignore. He's still got over a year of recruiting left, updates on his faves are practically meaningless. But a commitment would be fairly significant. When a kid commits to the hometown school, no matter how early, it almost always sticks.wlduck wrote:Look, it's better to have the commitment than not have it. And odds are good he will stick.

Re: Tyner on the "verge of committing?"
Yeah, you can neither discount or rely on something because past recruits have done something similar. An early commitment is a good thing. It is not a guarantee. Don't go out and buy a Tyner jersey just yet, but it's not unreasonable to be happy about it.

Re: Tyner on the "verge of committing?"
Generally true, but Tyner is a great talent (projected to be a high 4 star recruit). Definitely worth getting excited IMO if he pulls the trigger, even this early.wlduck wrote:Look, it's better to have the commitment than not have it. And odds are good he will stick.

247 already has him as a Jr. 5 star on their list.UOducksTK1 wrote:Generally true, but Tyner is a great talent (projected to be a high 4 star recruit).
