Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

From Bryan Fischer's Twitter, CBS Sports:

"5* ATH De'Anthony Thomas is apparently set to pick a school at 5pm PT. USC presser at 5:30, Oregon's at 1. Read into that what you may."

Huh.

Tomorrow or Wednesday?

It doesn't say Tues or Wednesday. If it's tomorrow, then obviously the time fame is meaningless. If it's Wednesday, then I'd say it doesn't look good for us.

But I don't see why he'd schedule a 1 p.m. presser on signing day to announce something that won't be announced until four hours later...

What am I supposed to read into that?

I have no idea why Oregon would hold a presser at one - I don't think this info is correct.

Yeah def not a positive indicator

So whats the deal??

You can find something out in the internet that will make you think DT is an Oregon lock, and you can find stuff that makes it sound like DT is sticking with USC. The fact is that we are in the mix, and this doesn't seem like it is just for show.

This info seems off to me too, mainly because why has no one in the local media (Moseley!) tweeted about the upcoming presser/conference call?

Didn't Chip say he wasn't even announcing the LOI's until 3pm ?

balls.

So he makes a press conference?? Most great athletes do that.

It seems like this must be tomorrow since CK said we weren’t announcing LOIs until 3pm on Wednesday. Further, aren’t schools not allowed to talk about commits before signing their LOIs? If so, then teams that have press conferences tomorrow have nothing to do with recruiting. Thus, the fact that UO is having a press conference before DT's announcement is irrelevant. Is that line of reasoning sound?

An individual athlete can state where he wants to go. It's not like UO can put a gag order on him. Don't think it means anything.
