Did you mean Shaq, if not I don't know who Shaw is. Shaq said Oregon is fourth on his list cause Eugene is too small of a city for him.

He's been a silent to Cal the whole time anyway and was never coming here.

The loudest silent on record.

My Brother who is a ND fan said he read that Shaq dropped Oregon a couple days ago, says Eugene was too small for him.

No. For whatever that is worth.

If ND is still on it then that's a joke. South Bend is just as small of a town as Eugene.

Not to sound like Hines here, but we were never in it. He is a Cal Lock.

His whole recruitment has been a joke, he's been a Cal commit the entire time.

While that may be true didn't he get an official visit to Oregon? My impression is Chip pulls offers and visits from anybody he doesn't think is serious about the Ducks and I assume he would know if the kid was a silent to Cal and, as some have alluded, simply playing the recruiting game. The fact he got an OV makes me wonder.

He didn't eliminate us, but we are on the outside looking in.

Never know what's going on behind closed doors. I think Chip knows. He may have pulled his offer. Remember Chip knew what was up with Gabe King and pulled his offer long before any of us thought he did/would

That makes a lot more sense and also seems to fit the facts as we know them. I don't see Chip allowing a visit from a player who is simply a shill for another team.

With a player of Shaq's caliber you take a chance even if he is a loud silent commit elsewhere
