    I don't recall what style chipper had as I don't follow it all that much, especially for other schools. What did Chip do which was similar?

    Made an offer special ... didn't offer 200 guys hoping people stuck ... was treated as a serious offer instead of some hype show ... never showed up to HS events in a party bus with drinks free flowing.

    To add:

    Kelly: didn't accept a commitment until a kid visited campus and showed real interest in the school and program. Sold Oregon:s program to kids and parents by sitting down and explaining why Oregon was special. No dog and pony shows for recruits.

    Compare that to Sark and his frat: Showing up at kids houses in UW helmets and barking like dogs. Calling commits of other schools and "proposing" to them. All American game party bus. Playing Madden on the huskytron. Selling the program with light shows, music, and PowerPoint presentations.

    Chip is a no nonsense guy, but Oregon recruited with plenty of sizzle that comes automatically from Nike, the uniforms, and facilities.

    If Sark did the same recruiting tactics as Kelly, would Sark have gotten any recruits?

    Didn't Oregon make custom Jordan's for one of their recruits who was a known huge Air Jordan shoes fan?

    I remember that "incident" but it proved to just be rumor. Sounds like something Kim would have made up when he thought Oregon was getting the death penalty.
