Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

I'm just trying to prepare myself. I have to think that they are about done going after mutual recruits. Here are a few that I think we are both going after that stand a good chance of choosing Cal.

Viliami Moala - Rumors that we aren't even recruiting him anymore.
Marqise Lee- Could end up at USC / Cal or Oregon. Seems like we are on the outside here.
Christian Heyward - Any DT that is being recruited by Tosh worries me.
Brennan Scarlett- I don't think we are after him any longer.

The sky is not falling as Cal can't do anything with all of this talent they get but Oregon needs to get a Tosh type recruiter that is young and hip that the guys can connect with.

Moala was never coming to Oregon. I think he's been a Cal lock for ages but might go to UW or OS in a package deal with 3 of his HS buddies. Other than that they seem loaded up on DL and dont imagine them taking anymore.

Gibson is trying to convince Lee to join him but i dont think we will know though where Lee will end up or even have a clue until he signs on NSD or even later. I like what ive been hearing though lately for Oregon

Cal is in Lyerla's Top 3 and would definitely be the most crushing blow.

Ya we need to over this CAL thing guys, they have advantages we can't offer, you know outside of winning on the field ( ), we need to get over this guys and move on!

BTW signing day is Feb 4-5th (sorry I can't remember) so they can still change their minds again.

Wait, he is? Well that's going to be a fun one to lose.

I'm calling it now. In 3 years there will be an investigation at Cal for a recruiting scandal, and/or grade changing

Who can we lose to Cal? Any recruit that chooses Cal over Oregon. Some people want to go to school to learn, for the area, for many reasons. Berkely is nice. Its Cali. That holds alot with people. The academics is top notch. So more power to em. Of course if a guy wants to come to a school that you can learn at, is in a beautiful part of the country and will win football games. Cal not so much. Oregon yes

The problem here is that most of you just look at the star rankings and never take into account if our coaches even wan the kid. Rumor is we haven't even really offered Scarlett, we haven't called Maola in a couple months and Bigelow scored under a 600 on his SAT. Really I never considered a lose if we backoff a kid or we didn't have a shot at him. Besides just today UO has landed a LB and now a WR.

That's literally impossible. Minimum score for the "new" (since 2005) SAT is exactly 600.

If we lose Blackmon to Cal, I'm going to organize an event where Berkeley's hippies and Eugene's hippies go at it at people's park. What am I thinking...they'll probably just trade psychedelics with each other.

Guy would have to misspell his own name, and forget his nationality and birth date to score that low...

I scored a 1060 (out of 1600) on my SAT and that was without doing much prep work and playing a high school football game the night before.

I agree.

When a recruit chooses a different school they were never ours to begin with, so we have never lost anything...we need to stop worrying about CAL my God! Recruiting is frustrating sure but its the same every year and we seem to be doing alright on the field so lets move on.

Blackmon's down to Oregon and UCLA

I was just wondering how many posters who are upset about these kids choosing Cal over Oregon have also posted complaints about Nick A.

I'm sure some of these kids read the boards at the schools they are thinking about and there has been a lot of 'dump NA' and 'NA can't coach' forums.

Just thinking
