Autzen Audibles

I know this is recruiting, and this is how a lot of it works, but I just don't like us jerking kids around if that's ever the case I'd be disappointed..

I imagine this type of issue is something the Ducks might have to deal with a bit more as the profile of the program gets bigger. Its tough when top talents like Story, Flowers, Lee, etc, want to go through the process while a guy like Kelley wants to jump at the opportunity. Comes with the territory of being a top ranked team and going after top recruits.

Completely agree that this is a result of the talent we are going after. A lot of times in the past we were going after guys that had UO as their best offer, now we're going after guys that have a lot of great offers. You've got to play the wait and see game, which may or may not result in some doors closing along the way.

I guess i'm a little confused as well? I thought Kelley was a major target and that he wants to be a DUCK first? Now I don't know where we stand with Bigs? It seemed like a VERY good chance to get his committment had we gotten Kelley? Kelley is 6'2, runs a 4.3/ 4.4 man what more do we want?? No one really knows about Farmer, other then the latest, wants to get into aviation and that USC has the program for that so i don't consider farmer a legit target at this time.

I like Kelley's size.... he seem's like he would make a bruising downfield blocker after a little strength conditioning with coach Rad..... that is such an important part of our game I would be surprised if we passed on him....

I think I have it figured out. Another WR is coming in and wants to see the depth. Will commit if depth not to bad. If Kelley commits now, could scare off the other guy, so the coaches are asking Kelley to wait until they get the other guy, then he can commit. Just my thought, nothing to base it on.

That sounds odd to me that the coaches wouldnt have talked to him in a few weeks. My guess is that the coaches have been uber busy and will be visiting/calling him soon.

I would be surprised if they dropped all contact on a WR that is close to the top of their 'want" list.

I feel the same way as Technical does. I'd hate to miss on a sure thing who loves Oregon than miss on someone else. I hope the staff has the decency to return Kelley's calls. I wish he had tripped earlier, but playoff games are not to be missed either. Timing sucks for him.

I think we are maybe missing one piece here as well. Should Bigelow be leaning to Cal, then we have an extra spot available right? Our true priorities are DT/DE/WR. Bigs was extra from the beginning. Carson has been the real target as he has developed out of the same school as James (Liberty/Elyau I think?). So my point, drop Bigelow, add Story or whoever if possible, and still get Kelley should the stars align. That seems to be happening much more often with our Ducks these days.

At this point I feel like Blackmon is a sure thing. Him and Mathis have been talking on twitter, and it seemed to me that both of them know he will sign with Oregon. Mathis made a comment to him this week of something to the extent "we're future teamates"
