1) As a DB prospect, the track record if Jimmy Lake closing on guys he wants is pretty good
2) We're not guaranteed to have his last visit because the USC visit has yet to be solidified
3) Of the 3 visits that he's scheduled, he'll be attending 2 UW games out of that group (USC vs Stanford, UW at Oregon, UW vs Oregon St)
4) He's a legacy Oregon recruit so I'm sure that there's pressure for him to stay home and continue the legacy not to mention that he's the most important in-state recruit remaining for the Ducks
5) The fact that he's taking visits tells me that he may not be as sold on the direction of the Oregon program (not surprising) ... it very well could be wide open (or not) ... either way it will be interesting (or not)

He's not only a legacy recruit....his position coach is his father and his head coach is Chris Miller....Elijah is also a RB and his position coach there is Dino Philyaw
The rest of this nonsense is to save face and give the impression that he gave it some thought. I really don't see why he needs to save face in the first place. He's stupid if he doesn't pick Stanford.
Based on the TBS reports, yesterday's non-consensual anal plungering at Autzen all but killed Oregon's chances with him (he was on an OV there). It'll come down to Stanford or UW.
"I am starting to have some clarification on where I'll end up, but I still am not sure," he said. "I'll commit in early December, most likely. It could be sooner, though. As the season progress, I think I'll be definite."
"Oregon, would just be my dad's ballclub. That's special, I think," Molden said. "Stanford has the academic piece. That's kind of a golden ticket after football. Washington seems to be a blend of a good school and an amazing football team."
Also, from the comments section...
His dad has talked to friends. Done deal. Washington.
He might be taking another unofficial visit to UW this weekend too depending on how his game on Friday goes.
Unknown ... so much of everything right now is tied into an unknown on what kind of numbers we're going to be looking at.
There's a couple of things that need to play out on Palo Mao:
1) Are we recruiting him as a DB or LB
2) Figuring out what numbers we're going to have based on who is going pro or not
My general take on the situation (which comes from talking with TBS "experts" DDY and Pepsi) is that as long as any of our primary targets aren't giving verbals elsewhere, I would read it as we're their #1 choice but we can't with 100% certainty take the verbal at this point.
Looks like a good sign that he will commit to us. How many spots do we have left anyway?
We have enough spots to get at least 2 OL recruits right? Damn sucks that Sark could not develop players as if we had 25 spots I think we are pulling a legit top 10 recruiting class this year. I think there is a few very good recruits that we will not have room for...

Pretty sure this made his decision 33% easier.

When has a p5 team had over 85 scholarship players?
