Just took a commitment from an Eastside Catholic kid rated as the #205 athlete.
Other offers included Black Hilles College, School of the Mines, and Simon Fraser
Holy shit you literally weren't kidding - his offers were actually Black Hills College and Colorado School of Mines. I thought it was like when people say we're playing "little sisters of the poor". Chip is either a genius or a complete idiot.
Now that Chip isn't at Oregon anymore I like him. He doesn't give a fuck about star ratings at all and loves being the smartest guy in the room who signs mostly 2 and 3 star hidden gems and then wins with them. I have no idea if it's gonna work at UCLA but it's gonna be fun to watch. Hope he kicks USC's ass with a bunch of kids nobody recruited. I also hope he didn't just get a late bloomer steal from our own back yard.
College football has evolved. You used to be able to win using the spread with inferior talent. You can’t anymore, as teams have evolved to stop it. Chip’s problem is, he still thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room. Chip is using the IPhone 4, which was great years ago, now other coaches have the IPhone max. Chip is now behind, but is too stubborn to see that.
Just what I'm hearing The brainwashing is in full effect
Interesting spin. What kind of accurate data on recruits is available in quantity that isn't already baked into rankings? Or is this where @NSA_Dawg has gone.
I think it's more likely that he just hates recruiting.
We knew that at Oregon too but at least he put in a respectable effort. Going into early signing period he has ONE player ranked in the top 400 nationally... at fucking UCLA!! That shit is just mind boggling. Can you imagine if Dennis was a UCLA fan?
He’d have dropped an A-Bomb on Westwood by now a la Dr. Strangelove

2. UCLA’s different, although not unexpected, approach.
Biggins indicated that with two exceptions, Bruins coach Chip Kelly is not recruiting the best of the best in Southern California.
UCLA has secured a commitment from San Juan Capistrano’s Sean Rhyan, one of the top offensive line recruits in school history, and is pursuing Mater Dei athlete Bru McCoy.
Otherwise, the Bruins are “barely involved with the elite kids, and that seems to be by design,” Biggins explained.
“They’re going after the mid-level guys and figure they can coach ’em up and development them better … They are staying away from the kids who love themselves.”
Kelly didn’t chase the 4- and 5-stars during his tenure at Oregon, either. He wants deeply-committed, low-maintenance, coachable players who fit his system.
“They’re really low in the rankings because of his philosophy,” Biggins said. “It’s strange to me, but to him, it makes perfect sense. They are actively avoiding highly-rated guys.”
This is confusing though because it’s still a huge departure from what he was doing at Oregon. While he was absolutely selective in who he offered and made sure they were a system fit, he was still consistently pulling in top 25 classes. Now he’s at the other end of the spectrum while at a school that recruits itself.
Now that Chip isn't at Oregon anymore I like him. He doesn't give a fuck about star ratings at all and loves being the smartest guy in the room who signs mostly 2 and 3 star hidden gems and then wins with them. I have no idea if it's gonna work at UCLA but it's gonna be fun to watch. Hope he kicks USC's ass with a bunch of kids nobody recruited. I also hope he didn't just get a late bloomer steal from our own back yard.

Chip’s problem is, he still thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room. Chip is using the IPhone 4, which was great years ago, now other coaches have the IPhone max. Chip is now behind, but is too stubborn to see that.
I think you're jealous because the best coach Oregon has ever had is now at UCLA and you desperately want him to fail like a lover scorned. Grow up.

Chip is the best coach Oregon has ever had. That isn’t saying much, considering our second best coach was mediocre Mike. Chip was great, but that’s the key word. Chip was still pulling 4 and 5 star guys, remember Deanthony Thomas? He’s pulling in 2 and 3 star guys at UCLA. He should be getting better classes UCLA than he ever got at Oregon. Chip also coached during a time of a down USC and a dreck Washington. Mario is pulling in better recruits with more competition than what Chip had. 2 and 3 star guys will not make UCLA a consistent winner. Washington, Oregon, WSU, and Stanford will be the best 4 teams in the conference for the foreseeable future. When was the last time we could say that before this year?
Grow up? El Oh El, that’s ironic. Coming from the token retard

If I recall, Chipper hated recruiting. Like really hated it. It does not seem out of the realm of possibility to me he came back and decided fuck it I'm not recruiting anyone who likes to be recruited. Look at the guys he went after:
Sean Rhyan (HAS NO TWITTER) and Bru McCoy (insanely elite dude at skill position from his backyard).
Seems stupid with how much easily accessible Cali talent there is for him but to each their own I guess

That’s true, but it doesn’t make it any less dumb. Chip had trouble against good teams with 4 and 5 star players at Oregon. What is he going to do with 2 and 3 star guys at UCLA? He is directly in a hot bed of college football recruiting. It should be easy to recruit in Los Angeles if he just gave it the slightest bit of effort.
