    So he's locked in a heated battle with Oregon (7-6 season, no WR coach, 4 WR commits plus maybe Juwan Johnson, offered about 3 weeks ago and immediately jumped to his top 5) and Washington (10-4, WR coach, 1 WR commit, offered last year).

    OK!

    If USC is out of the picture there is zero excuse to losing Puka. Zero.

    There's probably a lot of zeroes as a reason we lose Puka

    What the fuck is the Wam?

    If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.

    "FWIW, Cristobal presser is at 10:45am PT and Puka will decide at 11am PT. Read into that however you may want."

    From an Oregon mod.


    Also in the same thread from a random poster...

    "Well over here we are more positive about Puka - as TOS are saying he's more likely Washington. In fact, Washington seems to be taking a huge number of Oregon's targets this week, not happy about that (if it happens). But over all our class is much better then theirs."

    Oregon will rank higher

    I think Oregon will be ranked higher in Composite and UW will be ranked higher in the 247 rankings. Depending on how tomorrow goes, obviously.

    Not sure what #MyDucks have left on the bored but it would have to be next to nothing for us to pass them I'd think. They are five spots ahead of us on the 247 which we could certainly make up if we truly have Heimuli (we do) and hit runner runner with Nacua and TootToot, but if Oregon adds much more at all (even three star level guys) it would probably be enough to stay ahead of us.

    I would guess they will be a few spots ahead of us in Composite and 1 or 2 ahead in 247.

    But IDGAF. Our class is better. Their advantage is almost entirely WR based. I'd take our class over theirs for sure.

    Oregon has a lot of Taggart assistant coach recruiters this year and last year. They hired Cristobal just to hold on to this class that Taggart got the ball rolling on. This year will be very interesting to see what Cristobal can do.

    Actually agree. As much as we bitch about WR crootin this year, I wouldn't trade our DL haul for their WR haul now or ever. The classes are close, and Oregons is great to be sure, but I prefer our lines, so I prefer ours.
    It's very possible that both classes are better for their respective programs than the others' would be. Oregon absolutely needed WRs so their numbers there make sense. That would have been a disaster for us. I don't think they have enough DT depth to say they wouldn't take our DT class but I could be wrong there.

    The classes are fairly similar outside of those two things with minor differences here and there. But I trust our staff to find guys who fit our culture and are likely to stick around more than I trust their staff to do the same. I think our class has less risk than theirs does.
