I completely agree that we now have significant damage control to do. I hope you're right that we're still in it with guys like Armstead, Thompson and Thomas; we'll see over the next couple days I guess. Chip needs to get on a plane after a team meeting this morning and not come back to Eugene until he's visited every recruit he hasn't already had an in-home with IMO.

So is Castro in or out? Never really believed he would end up a duck, but if he is still with us I will also be happy. Seems to me if Castro is out that leaves a space for AA for sure. Not saying we would not take AA if Castro was in but it does loosen up some space, for a heavy DL class.

He is definitely out. Was following him on twitter until late last night and as soon as he announced for UCLA he was sending all kinds of "Bruins until I die" tweets out. Frankly, I'm OK with us not getting him this class because he would have been the type of player to transfer if things didn't go his way IMO. We should only want players that want to be Ducks; Castro clearly wants to be with whatever school likes him the most at the moment. Wish him well at UCLA where playing time should be much easier to come by.

It seemed to me like Castro was out even before the CK rumors started swirling. From interviews that I saw today I don't think we have much chance of swaying him back either. I'm very interested in the Poutasi situation because I'm sure the "I'm out" quote was based on CK being completely gone. I'm guessing this situation certainly didn't help, but hopefully with some good work over the last week we can start reeling some of these big names back in.

I don't have the exact timeframe of when Castro likely got word about Chip but I was also under the impression that Castro's switch preceeded any news on Chip.

Exactly; reports make it sound like he committed to UCLA on his visit Saturday but told them he needed to sleep on it before making it official Sunday. The Chip Kelly news likely had nothing to do with his decision, just a coincidence.

Castro committed to UCLA before the Chip news broke. He's a Bruin. I doubt the staff goes after him.
Secondly, at this point, the only real repercussion I can find is it may have further damaged the odds with Poutasi, who was already a battle. Other than that, not a lot seems to be changed at the present moment.

So it was all just a bad dream???
I sure hope he can spin this to recruits in a way that makes it a positive. Maybe say " I was seriously considering going to the NFL but Oregon means so much to me and it is such a special place that I couldn't leave and you should come be a part of it for the same reason."
