Shelton was a 4 star recruit as of yesterday. I'd say it's 50/50 that Shelton ends up at Oregon, especially since his mom has yet to visit Oregon with him.
You have to give Fetters credit, he does a good job of covering all of his bases.
Shelton said today that he is going to commit to UW or Oregon "soon".
“I’ve been on and off about it (committing) for a bit,” Danny Shelton admitted. “One day I’ll want to commit to U-Dub and then the next day I’ll want to go to Oregon. I’ll talk with my family over the holiday and we should have a decision after that,” he said. Shelton’s most recent official visit was to Washington on Dec. 10. “I like the connection that coach Sark (Steve Sarkisian) has with..."

Yep, must be good news for the Ducks, other wise he'd still be a four star.

I'm actually pretty worried about losing out on Shelton. It sounds like his mom may not approve of him being "far" from home.
Shelton is probably one of our most important recruits. He'd have a shot at significant PT as a freshman.

Sounds like he's going to be a duck. Stay classy Fetters.

Shelton will get that 4th star back if he commits to UW. Crap like that and Marty and Steve always promising a "scoop" on Talefeathers that never materializes is why I will never subscribe to eDuck again.

If he was going to be a doog you can bet he would be a 5* now.

i think you guys give too much crud to fetters. i don't think dropping SHelton down has anything to do with fetters. one of the main recruiting guys on scout said he'd watched Shelton play 3 times this year and he only saw one game that he thought he played good. yes fetters is a UW homer but he doesn't get the final call on recruit rankings and he only rates kids from the NW/Hawaii/Alaska.

Who is this and what have you done with Hines?

If I was a betting man I'd say he makes the visit over break. Once his Mom sees Jacqua she's going to feel just fine about her son playing in Eugene. Maybe it's time we bust out Bobby Moore and Snoop for his trip hosts!

yeah still me. i've never been a fetters hater and yes he has kinda come off as pretty silly re: husky honk stuff but when it comes to rating kids, he's no more important than anyone else. it's rating by committee like every other rating service.

3-4 stars doesn't matter. The Ducks need this kid BIG TIME...nothin' better than snatching VICTORY (Shelton) from the jaws of DEFEAT (U-Dub)...and they'll stay defeated and battered as long as the Ducks have CK at the helm. Goooo Duck Universe....in CK we trust!

Per jhop's twitter
JHopkins247 Been back and forth RT @SWiltfong247: Shelton tells me Washington has a slight lead over Oregon, but will talk over one more time with fam.

Seems like it is too late in the game to make up any ground now. It will be unreal to lose a recruit to UW and have distance be the deciding factor. Curious if Fetters plans on giving him that fourth star back?

Not getting that last unofficial visit with his mom killed us. He'll be a husky unless that happens.
