Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Looks like he's history now. According to Educk ( no Sub) he's cancelled his trip to Oregon.
Simmon's is the guy I really want but him visiting Florida is not good for the ducks. Maybe we have to go back to the JC route again. Wish there were a few Nick Fairley's out there.

Was it cancelled completely? I thought it was just pushed back a week until 1/21 along with Kelley's visit because Chip was at the coach's convention in Dallas.

Don't know .

Kevin McReynolds doesn’t plan to announce until signing day and says he’s still pretty open. “Me and my family will have a sit down and see what the best option for me is,” McReynolds said. “I want to go where I can get early playing time and a great education.” He's got some new leaders and has cancelled his trip to Oregon. McReynolds expects to announce his decision on Letter-of-Intent Day.

This could mean one of three things:

1. He's decided against coming to UO.
2. UO got a silent verbal or two and have told him to not bother making the trip.
3. Miscommunication between him and interviewer.

For ego's sake, I am going to say option number 2.

I am too fragile right now post loss to think otherwise.

If he ends up at Cal, USC, or Auburn, I'll be... Awww, fugedaboudit!

he'll end up on the east coast or more east than west. only school on the west coast is UCLA. mcreynolds visited last summer btw.

KM isn't visiting this weekend, but he told ESPN's Craig Haubert that he still plans on making a visit to Oregon.

^^^ based on the twitter post, it looks like option #3.

Good thing for option #3

"Wow I am not a man that you can try and strong arm. Wow I had a lot more respect for that school then that."
From McReynolds' twitter....

Looks like the coaches really screwed this one up. I thought he was going to end up at UCLA, but now it sounds like he isn't even visiting Oregon. At this point, Oregon needs to end up with both Heyward and Simmons. Mo Latu isn't going to qualify academically.

Hopefully the coaching staff reaches out to Jon Lewis and Isiah Norton.

Are you for sure that he's talking about Oregon? A previous Tweet from Craig Haubert said that McReynolds told him that he was still planning to visit Oregon later in the month. Something drastic would have had to have happened for that to change so fast.

Yeah, my understanding is that this was worked out between Chip and Kevin and they are simply moving his visit out. I don't think that tweet is about the ducks but I suppose it could be. I just don't see our staff trying to "strong arm" a highly touted DT this close to signing day.

CK is going to be in Dallas and asked Reynolds to reschedule but he has two visits lined up the next two weeks

Darn..that hurt.

concur on the JC route. Get about 5 JC guys, rotate them in. 240 lb DE conversions just dont work
