Eddie Vanderdoes commits to SC...I'm gonna puke

  • MyNameIsJeromy said...

    Meh, whatever. This is the 'problem' with ole Chipper. While all the other powers are stackjing up non-binding verbals 10 months before signing day, Chipper just lays back and waits for the pimple-faced twerps to grow hesitant before he starts picking them off in the fall.

    I don't know how many of y'all are on Twitter, but last year Bryan FiSCher and Lisa Horne were crushing UO recruiting into mid-September for lack of #'s/names. I seem to recall that they ended up doing pretty well.

    Signing day is a circus, no need to blow your loads in July...

    This x1000

    People act like this is new. SC has been getting top classes forever. Oregon has consistently won with 3* kids.

    In the end, the difference between a 5* and 4* recruit really isn't that large. Sit back and continue to watch Chip hang 50 on that vaunted SC defense.

    The good news for Oregon is...Redfield, Goodman, Luke, or Willis will be available...maybe 2 of them!

    I'm not as worried about DBs because Oregon always pulls in good ones. Elite DL are a completely different story and our DL has been the #1 problem against the "big boys". Granted, landing a couple of those DBs would be nice. I'm dreading the day I see Redfield Hargreaves and Willis all commit to SC.

    Oh, you mean tomorrow?

    Sorry, a bit of gallows humor. All you can do is laugh and in the end remember that its just sports... entertainment. It sure does feel like the rest of the pac 12 is just fighting over USC's leftovers this year. Although we've already gotten a few choice steaks of our own!

  • I think they get all three of them - if they can fit them in. Astonishing frenzy to get into that program right now.

    Seriously, where do people get this talking point that our "DLine has been our biggest problem"?

    I'm seriously curious. Our DLine held up about as good as anyone against LSU last year and what we did to auburn was amazing as well.

    This is making me think maybe I need a break from all this football recruiting. I too am definitely questioning the recruiting. This kid went from being very interested in us and not committing until signing day to not hearing from us much and randomly committing to USC. Downvote me all you want, but I think the blame rests with the coaches here. He should've been ours.

    Obviously I don't know what's really going on behind the scenes, but there seems to be a consistent theme from recruits when they're interviewed about how hands off we are. Recruiting is about establishing and fostering relationships with these kids, something Tosh is world class at doing.

    We don't need to ass kiss and promise the world, but consistent contact with these kids is required. Aside from Cam, I haven't heard many recruits talk about the great relationships they've built with our assistants. The laid back soft sell works for some recruits, but to many it just comes across as us not really being interested. I can't help but think we're making mistakes (as we sit with the number 53 recruiting class).

    I'm a pretty positive guy, but I'm struggling to stay positive.

    I agree with that. Our O line is what struggled to contain the monster D lines of those SEC teams and tOSU.

  • what i would pay to sit in on 1 recruiting meeting with our staff and figure out what their deal is. i dont want to hear they want guys that want to be ducks because they just offered a committed player. this last week has been depressing to be a duck. it is completely clear that recruits want to get recruiting over with early and slow playing is a terrible strategy. can we pretty please offer Adams and Bostwick immediatley. the only good news out of this week is how much it must suck to be a beaver. they dont have a chance at any top recruits.

  • I'm going to bed, but I hope all of you that are whining right now about how dreaded this situation is and how the sky is falling are still around in February when we sign a top 20 class and everyone is hailing Chip so I can laugh at how big of hypocrites you are.

    No offense, but whatever. People have the right to be upset about losing EV. Show a little heart man.

  • It better this happens now than on NSD. This way there is time to pursue other DL.

    USC will have a good class, but it also wouldn't surprise me to see them have some decommits. They seem to have guys that are trying to save their spot, but maybe want to look around. I also would be a bit surprised if they end up with 5-6 of the elite DB's. Players will look at all the talent and realize that there are better options for playing time.

    Oregon's recruiting class is already looking really good and that is before any OVs.

    Upset? Cool. Sky is falling, what the hell are our coaches doing, this staff is useless when it comes to recruiting, slobbering over SC? I can do without. I think Chip has earned the fans trust by now.

    Plus, stand by what you say. Bash the staff now, you better not praise them come february.

    So you think you know how to run a football team better than Chip and Co? Good god, man.

    If you have been around, you remember two years ago people calling for Coach Azz's head. Our line is being called "SECish" this year.

    But go ahead. You wanna make a fool out of yourself now go ahead. But just don't be shocked when you are laughed at come February.
