Mops question
I appreciate the predictions you made a few weeks ago. Do you care to make your last set of predictions of how this class will finish?
I think we get: Jackson, Gaines, Boyd and Marshall
Am I missing any or off on any?

Re: Mops question
At this point, I would be surprised if we land any of the guys that the OP has listed.
I think we have the best shot at landing Boyd. With all of the current info out there, even guys like TK are thinking Clemson may end up with him.
With Gaines, you would have to think that our current situation with JC players could very well keep him off of our team. Not to mention that outside of this forum, nobody is talking about him being a duck.
I hope we get Jackson but he is still listed as a commit for the Buff's. I don't have any faith in the "distance from home" trick actually working out in our favor.
I don't really know where we stand with Marshall. I am not all that concerned here though since we got a commit from Grant for next season.

Re: Mops question
I think we get Jackson and that's all. I think Boyd's a 30% chance and Gaines is 50%

Re: Mops question
There was a lot of talk about overbooking this class, which doesn't seem feasible with the list of prospects we have...should we expect more of the keaton arden variety, aka sleeper?

Re: Mops question
Good break down, Mops. I feel that that is about right. Now, let's just hope that it turns out like that!! 

Notice the plane that we flew on?

Re: Mops question
Why do you think that Justin Brown will end up a duck? We haven't discussed him very much and his profile lists us at low interest on Scout. I know that scout is hardly reliable, but I am just curious what gives you hope about him. Not to mention that he has been quoted as having Penn State as his leader and he is visiting them this weekend with no visit listed for us.

I believe he is talking about Justin Brown, the defensive tackle.

Re: Mops question
Are you looking at the correct Justin Brown? Mops is talking about the defensive tackle, I would assume:karlhungis wrote:Why do you think that Justin Brown will end up a duck?

He has high interest in Oregon and Colorado, but hasn't visited Oregon yet. This is very much like the Clay situation. He will be visiting on the 1/28, he plays a position that it is very much an area of need for the Ducks, so if the coaches do a good job on his visit, they should have an excellent shot at closing him.
