Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Anyone care to write down the gist of what was said? As in, should we be excited or not?

I have no sound.

OK, found some headphones.

George sounded like he enjoyed the visit.
Gave it a 9/10.
Said we are equal with Cal and USC.

Unfortunately, the video was cut out before Farmer could give his response to what he thought of Blackmon wanting to play with him in Oregon.


Gibson said he wasn't close to committing.
Oregon is in the top 2.
Impressed with facilities.


My overall impression is that they didn't think they would enjoy it here and probably weren't all that interested. They were surprised by the visit and it gives them something to consider. At the end of the day though, based off of nothing more than this video, I don't think they will end up at Oregon.

Farmer liked the trip a lot. Loved the facilities and the coaches. It was a much different school than Cal so he doesn't care to compare them. People were blowing him dozing off out of proportion. He didn't fall asleep because he was bored, but because he was exhausted from having to travel to Eugene immediately after a game. He also fell asleep at a party that night. He liked the coaches honesty, with them telling him he had to come in and compete and work hard. Overall, the visit was a 9/10. He, Lee, Gibson, and Blackmon came together and discussed their futures with Oregon. He's visiting Florida this weekend.

Gibson loved the trip as well. It was different than Cal, and he wasn't close to committing, but the trip did a lot for his overall view of Oregon. He had more fun than he expected he would and the Ducks are now in his top 2(I assume Cal is the other as it's longe been his leader). He to, is visiting Florida this weekend.

Great to hear Farmer and Gibson both loved the trip, but then again how could they not. I wouldv'e loved to hear what Farmer had to say about playing with Blackmon, I couldn't stop laughing about his tweets. Great time for us fans with the ducks keep on winning, and having these recruits praising our program. Go duuuuuuuucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

For what it's worth, Farmer had on a Oregon sweatshirt yesterday at school. Don't get too excited about it though.

UODucks. Can you merge my thread with yours?

It seems like all of these guys want to stay on the west coast. I am curious if that is going to change when they are in the land of $200,000 handshakes?

Bumi are you referring to the6 page thread about the trio? Or a certain post on a different thread?

I'd like to keep the threads separate just so members will be forced to look at the site via my link posted above. It increases activity. However, if you want me to merge a post from another thread to this thread, sure that can be done. Just PM me which posts you'd like to be merged.

Yes. But it doesn't matter, I understand now.

I just looked at Florida's vistor list for this weekend, and I'd rather the trio not be visiting...

As shocking as this is, it looks like scout may be out of the loop on their visitor list. They only show Florida having the 5* DE Lynch visiting this weekend.

As I said, I'd rather the trio not be visiting.

Well, I can't think of a good time for them to visit Florida. My hopes are pretty low on the trio anyway.

Never.

But I think the Ducks land at least 1 of the trio.

Lee? It seems like he had the most praise of the three. Farmer and Gibson seem to be pretty well linked, so if we were going to land one of them, I would expect to land the entire trio.

Gibson or Lee. We're now in Gibson's top two, and from what I've gathered he was leaning towards Cal prior to the visit. Blowing out Cal at their place could go a long way for the Ducks chances, especially if they have some coaching turnover at seasons end. He's never really been big on SC, so I'm not too worried about them.

Lee, as I've been told, wants to leave Southern California. They didn't offer until about a month back, he doesn't have the option to play basketball, and they're recruiting him strictly as a safety. I think Lee likes us a lot, but I'm worried about Florida in his case. Miami is Miami. They don't pose much of a threat.

Now Farmer's the one I'm unsure of. I think it's finally hitting him that he can be successful outside of Southern California, and that attending SC isn't a must. I think he's still leaning that way, but he's no longer a lock in my opinion. If Kelly and company can turn Farmer, I think they get all three. Florida negative recruiting SC could do wonders for the Ducks chances.

If we we're to land one, I'd say it'd be Lee. But as I said, Florida worries me.(I'd rather they land at Oregon than Florida. Florida's going to get there's regardless. I'm pulling for Oregon to bring in an elite class)
