Okay, with all these crazy developments in the past 24h, like Simmons not committing to the Trojans and the black mamba maybe committing to the Ducks, what is a likely scenario wednesday??

I think we have, what?, four spots max here? Assuming a couple of greyshirts, I think we can do that.

And we'll have a transfer or two and a player may not qualify.

So we've got:

Simmons
Jackson
Lee
Mamba (i love that)
Heyward
Fisher

On the board.

Granted, they're not ALL coming. Probably. But can we take four? I think you've got to do it if they want to come these players are all awesome and we've got a couple of projects in this class that can possibly greyshirt.

If we get Simmons, Heyward and Mamba (that one would be the crime of the century!!) I will do cart wheels!!

also, call me crazy but i have a strong intuition that thomas is a duck and it's a for sure thing.

i remember seeing black mamba all over the recruiting world earlier in the season and had no idea who the black mamba was, for like months, not until yesterday. but i had this feeling then that the black mamba would be a duck.

so go ahead and call me crazy but i'm pretty confident in it

wvduck,
but do we have space for all these guys? sounds like fisher is in as well

So once he becomes a Duck does his name change to the Green Mamba?

It seems like Mamba might bring someone with him, so the scenario of Mamba, Lee (swayed by mamba), Simmons or Heyward, and Jackson, seems like a legitimate scenario.

Well, I don't think Lee comes but hey, who knows? Is Javes leaving being accounted in the numbers? If it was only "4" I'd say Simmons, Thomas, Heyward, Fisher

Oh yes and add Fisher, who looks like he's in, and were set...this class would be ridiculous!

the main dude over at the troyan site says that the sc coaches will call him tonight and try to convince his family. sounds dyer for the troyans imo.

i think it's a done deal.

I didn't think that coaches were allowed to call.

i guess they can.

seriously, i think we can check the box on his commitment. or at least start talking about it as likely. major coup for the duckies!

From the Twitter page of Troy Lake, the guy who is so sure DT is headed this way, another tidbit:

Troy_Lake Troy_Lakeā„¢
USC wants Marqise Lee at safety, which might push him to either Oregon or Miami. Another wait and see; USC needs defensive bodies.
