    1) As a DB prospect, the track record if Jimmy Lake closing on guys he wants is pretty good

    2) We're not guaranteed to have his last visit because the USC visit has yet to be solidified

    3) Of the 3 visits that he's scheduled, he'll be attending 2 UW games out of that group (USC vs Stanford, UW at Oregon, UW vs Oregon St)

    4) He's a legacy Oregon recruit so I'm sure that there's pressure for him to stay home and continue the legacy not to mention that he's the most important in-state recruit remaining for the Ducks

    5) The fact that he's taking visits tells me that he may not be as sold on the direction of the Oregon program (not surprising) ... it very well could be wide open (or not) ... either way it will be interesting (or not)

    He's not only a legacy recruit....his position coach is his father and his head coach is Chris Miller....Elijah is also a RB and his position coach there is Dino Philyaw

    He's going to Stanford you stupid fucks.

    The rest of this nonsense is to save face and give the impression that he gave it some thought. I really don't see why he needs to save face in the first place. He's stupid if he doesn't pick Stanford.

    Based on the TBS reports, yesterday's non-consensual anal plungering at Autzen all but killed Oregon's chances with him (he was on an OV there). It'll come down to Stanford or UW.

    We don't need another cornerback do we? I feel like we have 5 or 6 elite ones waiting for Jones/King to graduate or go to the NFL.

    The joke is if they're good enough, they'll all go to the League.

    Would this mean no Pola-Mao?

    Unknown ... so much of everything right now is tied into an unknown on what kind of numbers we're going to be looking at.

    There's a couple of things that need to play out on Palo Mao:

    1) Are we recruiting him as a DB or LB

    2) Figuring out what numbers we're going to have based on who is going pro or not

    My general take on the situation (which comes from talking with TBS "experts" DDY and Pepsi) is that as long as any of our primary targets aren't giving verbals elsewhere, I would read it as we're their #1 choice but we can't with 100% certainty take the verbal at this point.

    Looks like a good sign that he will commit to us. How many spots do we have left anyway?

    We have enough spots to get at least 2 OL recruits right? Damn sucks that Sark could not develop players as if we had 25 spots I think we are pulling a legit top 10 recruiting class this year. I think there is a few very good recruits that we will not have room for...

    The how many spots shit needs to die. Sign whoever needs to be signed.

    When has a p5 team had over 85 scholarship players?

    I sort of agree. But I guess, from a fan's perspective, it's just about trying to understand who we are likely to take.

    We have 3-6 spots left possibly and it's just another way to try to understand who we'll get.

    For instance, if we take Molden does that mean no IPM?

    Right now we will probably have more top end guys interested than we can take, so it's sort of an attempt to guess at the musical chairs.

    In terms of wondering whether we will be over or not, it's FS.

    You forget players like Coleman who could clearly play himself into the NFL Draft playing for Montana.... or he can stay at UW and get 10 carries a game

    UW games are crawling with scouts, and will be next year as well. 150 carries for UW next season >>>>>>>>> 250 carries for Montana (that's the current pace for their top 2 RB's this season combined).

    If Coleman graduate transfers to a P5 school where he's guaranteed the starter then props to him. If he transfers to Montana he's nuts.

    This. As a running back less carries is a better long term course. He can still be a thousand yard rusher and put less miles on the tires. The NFL has plenty to go off of here. It's not like quarterback where they need to see a ton of snaps. People like Christine Michael and Dwayne Washington get drafted and make rosters.
