    I don't know or care who this kid is. I leave all that to the @StrongArmCobra recruiting bored experts.

    But Kentucky? Why? It's such a weird choice. I have no axe for the Blue Grass state, but that school is not football. Florida beat them 31 straight times. What's the play? Academis? No, not at all. If a kid picks Stanford, Duke, Vandy or Cal, I get it. Smart move that I would make myself, even though it might not be the best football move (although Furd is hardly a bad football move either). Or if a kid picks a football school over the academic choice. Hey, I wouldn't, but I get it.

    This, I don't get. No academic play, and Oregon can win their conference. Kentucky cannot and will not win their own division.

    He must really like it at home.

    Staying close to home is important to some recruits.

    Staying close to home, sure, when there's something to stay close to home for. Miami kids who want to stay at Miami have something to point to, even if it's in the past. When the Swede stayed here to be part of the hometown team revival, turning down Stanford, again, there was something to point to. I get those decisions, even if I would do otherwise myself.

    But Kentucky? There is literally nothing there other than the staying home part.

    Careful, people anywhere outside of the P12 say the same thing when a west-coast recruit decommits from an SEC/ACC/B12/B10/MtnWest/CUSA/CFL/Arena school to go to UW.

    I've said it before....never in my life have I ever seen so many decommits than UO the past few years. It's unbelievable.

    According to 247 4 so far in 2019 and 13 in 2018
    Coaching change last year...decommits were expected.

    4 so far this year.

    Other schools this year:

    Alabama - 5

    Georgia - 8

    LSU - 6

    Oklahoma - 7

    Michigan - 3

    I assume these schools are dumpster fires too...am I right?
    C'mon man, I know that YOU know that decommits from Alabama mean they are making room for higher rated recruits. That ain't the case with Oregon the last few years and it isn't the case with anyone else in the PAC12 either right now since USC is a match away from a dumpster fire.
