Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Lots of chat on the USC 247 board. How could either Oregon or Washington take a group of SC recruits? Both seem like a full class already.

Ya this type of news is great and all but we have no room but I guess depending on who it is we have more choices...wow what good problems to have if it works out for us!

Why these guys waiting to the eleventh hour is brutal, if it happens at all!

I personally dont like all the UW talk. I would rather they say a USC than transfer to Washington.

Indeed -- any time the Pups pick up key recruits the talk of "we're back" starts up again. That's precisely what I dont want to have happen.

I disagree. I love the "we're back" talk. Then we can say yeah, it sure got you far. Weren't you back when you signed Jake Locker?

Did they lose anyone besides Locker this year on their starting rotation?

There was a huge X-Box tourney over the weekend, and Tosh won... The whole group of losers is transferring allegiance to Cal.

The linebacker Foster for one. I did not look at the roster, but I know they lost a few more.

I find it a little hard to believe that multiple SC commits would suddenly change to UW without ever visiting. Anything's possible in recruiting but I imagine this is a serious longshot.

They lose 2 linebackers and a safety that accounted for almost half the total tackles for the team. The Huskies only had 10 players who averaged more than a tackle a game. Oregon had 24.

Both defenses lost a lot and both will likely take a step backwards next year. Replacing your linebackers with first year starters is really tough no matter how physically talented they are.

I can't help but wonder if this whole thing is some kind of gag being played by some of the recruits and/or U$C posters/players/coaches, I am not saying it is... but it just seems strange to me. I am like everybody else, I would love if a player/players defected and came here but it just seems odd that all of the sudden all of this is happening.

Call me skeptical, definitly will see what happens tomorrow, until then I am trying to stay even keel about it all, definitly hard to do with all the great talent that may come to town.

Wonder if OG/OT Marcus Martin of Crenshaw is considering the jump at all. At 6'3"/350-ish/5.2, he would be a load for most DTs... Give coach Rad some time to polish him up, and he could be , in the words of The Six Million Dollar Man, "Better... Stonger... Faster."

"Martin excels in the running game. He gets off the ball quickly and gets terrific pad level considering he's carrying extra weight that he'll need to transform on the next level. He plays hard on every snap and finishes the play. Susceptible to a quick rusher since he puts his head down at times while blocking. Change of direction is fair limiting his ability to get to the second level, but he owns the man in front of him-Scott Kennedy, Scout.com"

The rivals live chat with the gurus guys refused to field my question about any further jumps from SC to anywhere.

Brandon Huffman postes a tweet and everyone else is just guessing. Here's what he posted....

And before I log off- no, the rumorville is not about DeAnthony Thomas and Oregon. But it's definitely recruiting related and Bigtime.".

It could be one player coming to a school or a couple switching. Who knows? My guess it's the usual last second LOI day BS you hear every year. Doubt it's anything UW related. Last I heard they were worried about losing guys to Colorado.
