Well, that sucks. Looks like Oregon now has to move on to Heyward to get another DT. Simmons is starting to look a little more doubtful, especially with his visit Florida and the assumption that Texas Tech leads. Seems like DTs are falling by the wayside fast.

yep. its Heyward or bust.

ducks will move some OL players to DL.no choice

[ljginger]

Karrington Armstrong should have already switched over since he was a wrestler in high school...he's can't be that bad of a DT at 6-2 283...

[jimmy12]

Oh boy, now you guys are experts in switching players from on position to the next.... .

[dthomas=ddixon]

Thats just odd, wonder why they moved visit dates on him. Either way, we're gonna be ok. We won't be switching Asper or Weems to DT.

I just keep wondering why the last three to four years we keep striking out on
DT. It seems like sooner or later we would land a couple. I asked Chip about this
last year at the Portland recruiting dinner and he almost burst a gasket. With the
number of great skill guys it seem like one of the big boys would see an opportunity.

sounds like Chip. What was his response? Was he maintaining that we had pleantly of Dline talent or that he was pissed they had striked out?

Even if he won't say it, I think that he has to be getting a little concerned that they can't get top DL him. The opportunity to play early and for a national title contender seems like it would appeal to a lot of kids, but not many have bitten on that offer. Sooner or later, it has to turn around.

well AZZ needs to step his azz up in recruiting

[Tray Dub]

We got a big recruit last year in Heimuli, and we're still in it for a big recruit this year. DT is a hard position to recruit. We get lots of good DEs at least. So, for those who want to criticize Azz for his recruiting, I don't think that's really fair.

[justducky0]

ya cause all the other elite schools really have trouble getting good DTs ......

[vagusnerve]

Yeah but you have to remember most elite schools have at least one or two legit **** DTs in their own backyard each and every year.

The people that are saying that we must get at least one or two promising DTs this year are correct.

I agree that it's strange that we'd strike out on so many players at that position that last few years.

If we still get Heyward we'll be fine. Having missed out on Scarlett and McReynolds this week is a tough pill to swallow, especially considering Scarlett didn't have an offer and it sounds like they pushed McReynolds into a corner.

Some of you guys get stuck on star ratings way to much. Even if we signed the top DT he won't come in and dominate. Haloti took 2 years before he dominated, Suh took 2 years, Fairley took 3 years out of HS to become what we saw this year. Also you guys realize the Auburn starters who whooped our olines asses, not one of them where 4* recruits.

Azz has signed DT's and in his 2 years of having a full year to recruit he has managed to land a 4* last year and another 4* this year in Ebert. Uniformed or just plain ignorant to be calling him out right now over recruiting. For those wanting to discount Ebert remember the top two DT this year, Fairley and Paea, both came from the JC ranks. Right now we have 3 DT who all look like they will be very good over the next 3 years and Ebert coming in with Remington RS this year. UO doesn't need 4 DT we will sign 1-2 HS kids and be good.

Haloti dominated from the git go. I'll never forget him getting double teamed by two veteran USC O-lineman and Haloti as a true freshman was pushing both of them into the backfield... Blew me away, 2nd yr tore his knee up.
Bellotti said he was the best player he ever coached.
