Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Cal gets another Stud DT. They'll most likely get Moala too. The ducks have really been falling behind Cal on the D-line the last 3-4 years. Com'on coach Azz.

This isn't on Azz imo

Damn I thought we had a legit shot at this guy...we will get ours but this does suck!

Its okay, If we get Westerman, along with Andre Y, And Johnstone I think they will be inefective:)

^Barr is being recruited as a DT and the ones you mentioned are O-Line guys...but we will get other DTs...

I think he meant that solid O-line play will cancel out any D-line Cal puts out there...

^Yeah thanks for clearing that up, ahaha sorry I should have made my point more clear.

Sucks. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense why Cal continues to recruit very high quality defensive recruits every year. And if you argue that recruits go to Cal for more than just football, well then why don't they recruit as successfully on the offensive side of the ball?

IMO, Tosh is a big reason right now for the D-linemen. That and proximity to home helps.

I guess they can really step up their recruiting game since they don't have to worry about practice and preparation and all that.

Maybe they all truly want to join the Screen Actors Guild.

Really sucks that we keep losing all the top DL prospects to Cal. Sooner or later, Oregon has to find a way to attract some DL recruits that aren't marginal D1 prospects, not that I don't like who we have on the team already.

they might have a killer defense for the next couple years but if they cant find a Qb they arent going anywhere. If they do find an even remotely quality Qb they might be a force to reckon with in the Pac 12 North.

I just hope in the meantime they dont steal Lyerla

It sounds like Lyerla is down to Oregon and SC, but he really hasn't said a whole lot so he could have Cal in there as well.

Todd Barr is from LA. LA to SF/Oakland is 400 miles. On other hand, it's only a one hour flight and more importantly, there are tons of reasonable flights from LA to the Bay Area. LA to Eugene is only a two and a half hour flight, but flying into Eugene can be pretty expensive.

Barr is a guy who I have considered a Cal lock for a long time. Unlike most of Cal's recruits, Barr has excellent grades and has mentioned how he really values academics. I'm surprised that he wasn't more interested in Stanford. I think this is one of the cases where Cal's academics really came into play and Tosh had little bearing on a d-lineman recruit's decision.

It sounds more and more like Gibson will be at Cal also so they look to just be monstrous up front with him, Barr, Moala, and Jalil.

We just can't seem to close on DL and I keep asking myself Why?? I'll
let you know if I figure it out this sucks
