Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Ja’Juan Story not quite sure about keeping UF pledge

Our part of the story...

Story still considers himself committed to Florida, but he is checking out other options. He officially visited Oregon last month, and while he didn’t come away with an offer, he said wants one from the Ducks.

“It was really nice,” Story said of his visit to Oregon. “Everything was top of the line — top of the line players, coaches. Eugene was nice.”

How have we not offered this guy yet? I wonder...

I'm actually pretty encouraged that he doesn't have an offer, since he seems good, reportedly playing well at the all-star practices at least. Hopefully it means we're looking good for the guys the coaches want. Of course, it could mean that the coaches think Story is overrated, but I suppose time will tell.

Nice find, by the way, briar.

His all star practice reports have made me much more interested in him.

Yahoo/Rivals is showing he has an offer....?!? Am I missing something?

He'll probably only get one if someone who has a solid offer doesn't end up at Oregon. With Sumler and Vaughn on board, there's probably only like 2 scholarships left for WRs. I would suspect that Blackmon and B.J. Kelley are higher up on the coaches list with Story just behind them.

My wild guess is perhaps he was told he would get an offer if he decommits and at least silents with Oregon. He probably didn't want to make that commitment at this time and Oregon did not want to give him an open standing offer because they are trying to firm-up the class and decide on giving late offers to secondary targets if need be.

Maybe Chip is going to text him an offer at 3 o'clock in the morning, the day of the bowl... Worked for Florida last year!

Yeah I think you may be right. Kelly is pretty adamant about not recruiting guys who are committed to a school. They obviously make exceptions & bring kids in for visits when they are wanting look elsewhere but I would be willing to bet he doesn't have an offer because he's still committed to UF. We have too many other WRs that we're heavily in the mix for to be chasing after a guy that still committed to another school.
