How the modern recruiting game passed Oregon Ducks by

Tweeting will solve the Ducks recruiting issues. Yeah that's it.

Petersen tweeting a "Woof" each time he got a commit is the reason Oregon collapsed under Helfrich?

People get paid to write that shit?
Must be a low bar to be a paid sportswriter ... -
Thanks Taft

I love how the author uses the recent commitment of a guy Oregon wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole in previous years as proof that "Taggart has got it"

"I think, especially in 2016 and beyond, that is going to be a huge part of how you recruit a kid," Scout National Director of Recruiting Brandon Huffman said. "How many times have we seen a kid say, 'Where are all my Nebraska followers at? Where are all my Michigan followers at?' I've had kids straight-up tell me a school made a top five because they added more followers. If you aren't doing that, you are going to find yourself on the outside looking in. You are going to get lapped."
Fuck those pussy recruits. -
But for a program that celebrated and self-congratulated its own innovation, it's jarring that the downfall came from failing to grasp new-school recruiting tactics.
Like Grandpa with a new iPhone, Oregon couldn't figure out how it all worked.

Oregon recruiting tanked because the staff got cocky and didn't think they needed to work at it anymore. Also, Helfrich had zero personality without the genius tag Chip had. Not a great a strategy for national recruiting.
