recruits @ ASU

[bfrees23]

Recruits with Oregon offers that are at ASU today

Mo Latu and Rahim Cassell....

This will be the 2nd time that Rahim gets to see Oregon.

I want both of them; hope our D makes a great showing.

WR BJ Kelley will also be at the game and we lead for him...

I bet that passing game was huge. I'm really happy we got the WR's the ball.

Uhhh... While it's probably not a BAD thing that these guys got to see us pull out a gritty win, let's not forget they were visiting ASU.

This means that they hung out w/ ASU players on campus (and no doubt saw some of the coeds), talked with ASU coaches about how they'd fit onto the team, were given ASU gear, and fed all the ASU sales pitches.

And all of this happened while Chip & Co were not allowed to contact them.

If we'd've made them look like Portland St. or something, then yeah it probably would've helped our cause, but I don't think it's wise to put too much into this win from their standpoint. Can't hurt, but I can't imagine it helped all THAT much.

It surely cant hurt.....Cant imagine that watchin ASU get beat at home helped their cause much either though....

Weren't a couple of the recruits also at the Ducks game against Portland St? So being that they are interested in both of the schools, beating the Sun Devils in thier house is pretty huge.

Erickson can spin it though by saying look were we are headed we would have beat the #5 team in the country, the PAC-10 champs had it not been for some mistakes and turnovers, we just need a couple of pieces in order to take it to the next level and you are one of those pieces. However the same can be said for Chip and company, we are on the verge of being national champions we just need a couple of pieces to complete the puzzle......

The game is more favorable to ASU since they are able to visit the campus and interact with people down there, but really I think it's more like a draw since losing a game like they did does take a little luster of the visits while Oregon looks better by winning.

I agree, that was probably a pretty exciting atmosphere for their recruits. Even though they lost they were able to "hang in there" with the 4th best team in the country.

If the recruits end up choosing ASU, I hope they liked the 105 degree temperature - at night! Sure, the winters are nice, but the late spring to mid fall is beastly hot. It is way too hot to enjoy the outdoors. The temperature here in Eugene today - 85 and sunny. And the summers are about perfect. Sure, it is cool and rainy most of the winter, but if I had to choose between Eugene and Tempe for year round living, it isn't even close. Eugene is much better.

I live in the Pacific NW for a reason. The seasons are mild and in the summer there isn't a better place on Earth to live.

There are no extremes in weather (i.e. hurricanes, massive snowstorms, & tornadoes) like in other parts of the country. I can't stand really hot or really cold climates so Oregon's temperate climate is just perfect.

Cassel may be making a decision this week.
