4* DT with a really nice offer list. I heard that Florida has offered as well. He has always felt like a bit of a long shot but it is good to see the coaches pursuing him.

Man, I can't believe we haven't had a single commit since we've been #1.....

Surprises me too. I know their's along way to go in this recruting cycle, but I'm getting anxious for some DTs and DEs.

Or the Serra Trio....

Per rivals, he has set his official, though since I am not a subscriber I'm not sure of the exact date.

McReynolds already visited unofficially several months back, for what it's worth.

He's been a high target for a while.

Sure seems odd but I think that it will pick up once the regular season ends and the coaches can spend a little more time traveling to visit recruits. Plus, it seems like Oregon's recruits schedule their visits until like mid-January, which makes for a lot of later commitments.

Committing 3-5 years of your life to an university is a pretty important decision. I don't think they're going to jump on the bandwagon and commit just because we're the #1 team in the country. How well he can relate and respect coach Azz will go a lot further than our ranking.

I bet we get a flurry of commits that all come at once though, maybe a few after the Zona game and then more after the Civil War or maybe a lot after the season, I can't imagine the Ducks don't get a lot of these guys they are after.

A lot of these kids are playing still looking for their own championships!They don't have the extra time right now.Give it a couple weeks and the Army-All American game,then we'll see people committing.Hopefully to the DUCKS!!!!!

I don't get this line of thought, being #1 for a few weeks isn't going to get a bunch of kids to all of a sudden commit. I never had any expectations of getting kids just because we moved up to #1. Would you go from having a top 5 or 6 schools to committing to one of them just because one moved up a couple spots to #1? Give these kids a little more credit, they're smarter than that.

Where we will see the affects of this season is next year. Kids that are now starting to look at school will will automatically put us on their list because we're the top team. There will be a TON of top kids interested in us next year.

That's sort of how everyone has to look at a good season as most recruits have gone through a bulk of the recruiting cycle without Oregon being #1. Oregon being #1 certainly provides a bit of a bump, but it's not going to get a lot of recruits that have already cut their school lists down. Plus, the coaches already have their target lists so anyone that commits or is recruited will probably have been on their lists already.

Being #1 helps us with this years HS FR and SO.
