sounds like its going to happen

what about Scales? are his 3 friends all going down there and stranding him by himself here. He came as a package deal with McCain to help ease the transition of being so far from home so I can't imagine he would be too pleased by himself at oregon while all his friends that he was planning on playing with are in Berkley.

being on a winning team will soothe the pain for Scales

While this sucks... My first thought was to Scales too. No offense to him, but it appears that he was the "homesick" insurance.

I'm sure he's a fine player, but if McCain AND King go to Cal, do we need a 3rd or 4th string safety that badly? Especially w/ bringing in Dungy.

I'm not necessarily saying we should pull his offer out from under him, but maybe we should urge him to follow his crew.

And on that note... WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!? We KILLED Cal last year. We were in the Rose Bowl! What happened to Allen loving us but going w/ where his family wanted?

I know its unfair to criticize coaches in the recruiting process due to how messed up it all is, but between these guys and Owa... Man... It sure LOOKS like we missed pretty badly here. And worse, it looks like a Pac 10 rival is reaping the rewards...

Wednesday will be a great day for alot of reasons, but its looking like it could also be a very dark day for a number of others...

Wow, you really can read my mind. However, with that said, I do hope that there is no thought to pulling this young man's scholly or encouraging him to go anywhere but Oregon. Sink or swim, we offered and he took. I wish him the best.

If in fact McCain does go to Cal to be with his buddy, the playful Mr. King, it will tell me that he has the character of someone I would rather not see on the team I pull for. Come on, be your own man. Your friend seems like a bit of a tool.

Yep.. they way Mccain is sounding... of course he did drop a LOL!

but the west coast will be happy!!! I guess.

but this is not bad because we can now focus in on others and go the back up plan. route. instead of a recruit holding there verbal to our head and we cannot get another recruits! Oregon will be fine


GO DUCKS look forward to 2011 especially now with the FLorida, Texas pipleline open for recruiting! Thanks Lache, LMJ , Eric dungy, LGB!

Can anyone here on DucksAttack confirm that Scales is still a Solid Verbal to Oregon?

TK1 said Scales was 100% Oregon the other day.

Thanks, DG99 and TK1.

I bet he's feeling a little betrayed by his friends who said they would all try to end up at the same school but may leave one (Scales) out.

First of all, Scales does NOT have an offer from Cal as far as I know. Scales was also recently interviewed, well within the time frame when all this nonsense began, and he said he was all Duck and plans to enroll in March in time for Spring ball. No worries.

As for McCain, I would be extremely surprised if he goes anywhere but Cal now that it appears that King, Allen & Maynard are headed there. McCain is very good friends with both those guys.

Thats been my biggest gripe about this whole situation. Like I posted in another thread, its pretty F'ed up what they've done to Scales. Apparently he wasn't quite as cool as the other three "bros". To me it shows the definite lack of character from these kids. I don't wanna pile on but if McCain switches to Cal too I won't have a very high opinion of the other 3. Let them go underachieve at Cal. Scales will be winning Pac10 titles.

Sour grapes? Yeah probably.

Agreed, Oregon will be on top of pac 10, maybe we see KA come to oregon?

someone (Alabama fan) posted on Keenan Allen's facebook and said "Way to be a man and have pops call and decommitt."

Apparently Cal is in the running for another stud DT, JR Ferguson...unreal!
