Was OWA. Sure King and McCain would have been nice, but not necessary with Tony Washington (who does not have grade issues) and Hemuili. Am I crazy here?

If engineering turns out to be the Owa factor it can't really even be considered a miss, Chip can't invent a degree in that

So glad im not a beaver fan must be tough haha
"Losing out on Owa was tough but on paper this has to still be one of the best classes ever for the Beavs. I mean, three 4-star commits and one 4-star likely to greyshirt (Iona)."

Ricky was nice for the future, but he doesn't solve our problem at DT for 2011 and 2012.

Wow, they are ranked #71 by Scout. I would be depressed with that.

Yep. Heimuli buys us time until we reload the D-line next year.

The thing is he wanted to play DE, not Dt, so that's a big reason he chose FSU over us.

Sure he was but he was never ours...he checked us out, we didn't make his final cut so in my mind he is not a miss!
It does suck to have instate guys choose to go elsewhere but I'd leave too so...
GO DUCKS!!

Agreed. The nice thing is he really stressed academics, so I can't hate on him going to UCLA. I hate to say it, but I really will root for him. Except against Oregon.
In addition, while it hurts losing out of state guys, it's only natural for them to want to get out if they've lived in Oregon all their life.
That Beaver thread is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. HOW DARE HE wear Orange!
