Eklund chimes in saying it would take a miracle for USC to get him and he's leaning Oregon. Pretty sure he's the only guy who believes he's going to Oregon.
One thing I will say is roof definitely has a point when she says ektard copies her info. It does seem like every time she releases an information dump eklund releases one just hours later with very similar info. No mention of Pete being in home with Ford from dawgman until after Ruth dropped that nugget

Also Pete was in home this week
Dood legit said it was USC and Oregon we had no shot, then the very next week said USC has no shot and it’s between us and Oregon, now Oregon is getting him.
Truth is no one fucking knows. We have the best connections, Oregon has the most playing time, USC has the best brand. He is just gonna pick one.
It’s so dumb to say USC doesn’t have a shot when they are closest to him, have a good education & post grad connections, have a brand, AND HAVE HIS LAST VISIT TO HELP GAIN MOMENTUM. Next week Ektard will say “ I won’t be surprised if he goes to Michigan even tho they have no shot”
So Roof has finally switched her tune about Ford. The one WR she’s been adamantly saying she didn’t think would come here since he first took his visit back in September. I think her Twitter scuffle with him clouded her takes on UWs chances with him more than anything. Apparently, the primary reason for the change is she’s hearing Herbert isn’t gonna be coming back and that will take Oregon out of the picture for Ford. Combine that with the relationships he has with the UW coaches, the Pettis’ and current players at UW and we’re in a good spot.
I hate this new found consensus that’s forming with the recruiting peeps. It’s like no one really knows what’s gonna happen with Ford but everyone wants to say UW now.
Looks like we’re gonna be in a hard press after signing day on Ford, Nacua and Bru (haha). Can’t see all three ending up at SC and if Nacua doesn’t go to Utah and Ford doesn’t go to Oregon then we should get one of the three which makes sense why we’re fine without Kennedy.
The unintentional Bruhaha made me LOL, thanks for that. My favorite term for a fight, scuffle, dust up.
Oh it was intentional, I spent like 81 minutes crafting those two words alone.
It may have been the Athletic article that said Ford will not go where Bru McCoy goes. That pretty much rules out USC. Everything I see from him points more toward UW than UO, with the lone exception being early PT.
His recruitment feels like Irvin's last year, where I was nervously optimistic about our chances for 3 months. History tells me to not expect good things in these situations, but I think we are probably favorites to land him.
"In a UW article, Who's left on Washington's board, the author states that Oregon now appears the team to beat for Kyle Ford. Any thoughts or info on this? Go Ducks!!"
MattPrehm - "I don't think it is safe yet to say Oregon is the team to beat by themselves. Oregon knows they are in there with the best of them, but they aren't the clear favorite yet. Oregon has a lot of playing time to offer for Ford and he's liked the staff. It's going to come down to where he sees making the bigger impact quicker and then sustained impact."
Biggins on UW Board:
"Ask me after this weekend. UW leads right now but he has his SC visit this weekend and I want to see where he’s at following that trip. He could be blown away or not moved at all. Doing this 20+ years, I’ve seen this movie before where SC looks out of it for a local kid and then rallies late to steal him so I think it’s sfill up in the air until the visit."
From the Athletic:
Ford’s parents will be relied on heavily throughout the next few weeks. Dan said they speak about the process daily, and he tries to emphasize life after football to Kyle. The two can talk about things and Dan will kind of know what Kyle’s thinking and why, but he contends his son can be a hard read with certain things.
This legitimately seems like the biggest toss up. No one knows what Kyle is thinking, and he's keeping it close to the vest.
That said like others have noted he tends to talk in detail about the UW program, built for life, OKG, friends on the team, Eason, no WR like him, wearing a UW hat during the interview with the Athletic.... It just feels like he will be UW's.

So I can't think of a WR of this level we've had under peterman. I don't think we have one currently on our roster either. If he has the playbook smarts, I could see PT next year. He is that good!

John Ross was the best player in the conference in 2016, Ford has a ways to go before he gets to that level.
He's much, much more refined coming in than Ross was though. But I'm hearing that adds nothing to his value.
