"Accepted to Stanford?!? What to do?"

Hmm, Ka'ai is a good student and probably puts academics pretty high on his priorities. I wonder if the Cardinal make a push for him before signing day. Hopefully it's too late though.

Ugh...I hope not. Maybe he is just playing cat and mouse right now trying to stir the pot, still don't like it though.

that would be a huge blow

Great for him, bad for us! That would suck to lose him, he's one of the only big bodies we have in this class! Damn. I have a bad feeling about this.

Even though Twitter/Facebook are awesome for a number of reasons, this is one thing that can be very stupid about it. He can just enter a 6 word thing in there and now Duck Nation is worried....I take this stuff too seriously

Man, if he leaves for Stanford we will be really thin on the DLine in this class. I thought that he already had an offer from Stanford and still chose us though?

But he has visited Stanford, many people thought they were the favorite before he picked Oregon. And with signing day just around the corner, it's a legitimate concern.

He's an underrated recruit, and he's a position we could really use.

Wow that doesn't sound good.

Doesn't mean anything. Think he's just playing around online.

At what point do we just need to grab a big body, even if it's a 2* recruit? Do we have another year before we have to go that route? Just seems like we're getting paper thin on the line...

And no, I don't think he's playing around. Getting accepted to Stanford is a big deal, it's not like he's choosing between Oregon and Oregon State. I guess we'll find out how badly he wants to be a Duck.

Crazy I wasn't worried about this guy at all...you figure with his GPA that "accepted" would have been a foregone conclusion, so this is an odd tweet!

Well then we lose him I guess. He can go be a stockbroker or whatever. Definitely something not to think about.

yeah, seriously. how do you not know your options two the day before you sign?

Listen it comes down too, does he value winning football over higher standard of education??

Uh, I think Stanford's done pretty well lately on the football field.
