Chris Steele

So he's gonna commit to his 4th school soon? I'm sure he's really mature and gonna be successful.

Oregon is loading up on talented dbs that went to like 4 different high schools. They are very talented but Donte Williams does not scare me as a db coach.

Wouldn't say they're loading up yet. Graham and Lenoir have both been disappointments so far and both were high 4-star recruits. Either they were overrated to begin with or they have shit coaching or both.

Not an OKG?

Definitely not.

Have you read the story on Steel and why he left?

He wasn't an OKG before that. Super attention seeking and immature. Committed to UCLA. Flipped to USC. Flipped again to Florida. Now transferring to Oregon. Not our kinda guy.

If ain't an OKG you ain't getting an offer.

They've offered a lot of non-OKG's. Some kids have good enough film and transcripts to get offers and then are cooled on as the coaches get to know them as people and learn more about them from people around them.

Graham and Lenoir are not disappointments. Overlooked by most people is Michael Wright of the 2019 class. Wright has been killing it in spring ball AND HE WAS RATED SLIGHTLY ABOVE STEELE IN THE 2019 class.

Sophomore Jevon Holland is one of the best safeties in the PAC-12

This years class has 2 4 star safeties Myles Susher and Avantae Willliams

They have not performed up to their ranking out of high school. How have they not been disappointments? They got torched against Arizona and WSU last season which was a key factor in those losses for Oregon. Neither has made an All-Conference team as two year starters. That's a disappointment by my standards for such highly rated recruits. They were overrated.

You can't really count any Oregon commit as an in the bag commit. More like a placeholder until something better comes along. Especially those two cross country safety commits.

Graham was the next big thing as a true Freshman Spring ball MVP as well and then he started getting torched in actual games. I'll believe Wright is good when I see it. I don't think Oregon's receivers are all that difficult to defend. Can Oregon coach and develop any of these guys or are they going to be the USC of the North with a bunch of overrated and under-performing 4-star guys?

Graham and Lenoir were good enough to help dump the Huskies in Eugene.

Steele and Michael Wright who was rated just ahead of him will be in Oregon’s defensive backfield.

It might behoove you to worry about your own defensive backfield rather than regurgitating your inaccurate and ignorant opinions about Oregon.

As to your poor analysis of our safeties Jevon Holland is a Star. He made the all freshman team last year.

“JEVON HOLLAND, Oregon: The true freshman safety sits atop the Pac-12 with four interceptions this season. He's tied for fourth in the nation and tied for first among freshman. He had two interceptions against Cal. Holland also had an interception in the end zone last weekend against UCLA.

Following the victory over the Bruins, teammate Thomas Graham Jr. crashed the postgame news conference to ask Holland how it felt to lead the team in interceptions. "It feels good. I've got some bragging rights," Holland replied before adding with a laugh: "I may need a ride home; don't leave."-AP

Anyone bragging about how their secondary played against UW's offense is a fucking idiot.

Anyone who thinks Oregon's secondary is better than UW's is a fucking idiot.

Anyone saying Chris Steele isn't a talented recruit and/or UW shouldn't want him is also a fucking idiot.

I'm dumber just for having read this thread, so now I too am a fucking idiot.

AIDS is a rough illness

Just keep thinking that. It seems they weren’t that effective vs Oregon in Eugene.

You are whistling past the graveyard.

I’m not bragging about our secondary. I’m just responding to your ignorant opinions.

Dude you lost to Arizona 44-15.

Have fun with your cuban Sark!

This. Petersen has NEVER gotten boat raced like that in the Pac 12

No Oregon fan here thinks the secondary is better than Washington’s. However, the gap is closing. Also, if you haven’t seen improvement from Graham and Lenoir you’re not watching. The corners are being developed too. Holland was worlds better by the end of the year. McKinley and Steele will compete for the nickel spot. Oregon will be able to rotate at the traditional cbs and safety spots for the first time in years. Keeping players fresh and competition will only improve the unit.
