Lmao. Epic failure. Move along.

I wasn't being serious about those kids. I was trying to make a point that Urban poaches kids from every school and you guys should get a taste of your own medicene. He has no shame whatsoever.

As for Dontre making contact with OSU I somehow doubt that highly. I don't doubt he has been talking to OSU, but I would bet my unborn child that Urban has been relentlessy calling him and was the one who originally initiated contact. It's his M.O. Poaching is what he does.

For a man that is trying to replicate Oregons system he should show a little more respect. Shows he is of low character and lacks integrity. Lol at talking to Wilson for two weeks. Wilson has been a priority of Oregons for over a year and was a top recruit for Oregon.

Fact is he's still commited to Oregon for now and he and his father have both said if Coach Cam and Helf are here he's coming to Oregon. That's good enough for now. If he ends up at OSU then best of luck to him and I hope he enjoys playing for a generic system and not the name brand.

Get em boyyyyy.

That's not the issue; we all understand the reality of the situation after Chip left. It's the fact that you and other fans of your program have nothing to say except "Haha! We're gonna take all your recruits and your programs sucks! Na na boo boo! My dad can beat up your dad!" Bunch of damn 12-year-olds gloating like idiots.

The reporting on Wilson's recruitment has me a little perplexed. On the one hand we have the writers (mods) for the Oregon site talking exclusively with Dontre and his family. It appears there is mutual trust between the parties and the reporting indicates Dontre is committed to the Ducks based upon statements made by Dontre and his father. On the other hand you have other 247 writers (mods) that write for the Buckeyes site. They appear to be talking to Dontre's coach about the situation. The coach appears to be communicating to them, per JHops writing, that Dontre is going to visit OSU and will end up there. Dontre refuted those claims to the Oregon mods up until recently. Now he's thinking about it.
Why are the mods for the two sites not talking to the same people, so that there is not a he said, no he said storyline but a complete picture presented to readers?

But that issue aside, what appears to me to possibly be a bigger untold story, particularly given the subject matter of Oregon's pending hearing with the NCAA, is why would a coach get himself so involved with a kid's recruitment? Why would a coach, after a kid has committed to a school, continue to talk to the press about a players interest in another school, despite that kid and his parents saying otherwise? Or more to the point, what are Urban and the Buckeyes offering this coach for access to Wilson?

Why is anyone surprised with the way buckeye fans are acting? The acted even worse throughout the Malik Hariston recruitment.

In my opinion, the Big 12 was an absolute joke this yr...UCLA beat up on Nebraska, Stanford and OSU beat up on Wisco, who went on to the rosebowl.

Don't base OSU's fan base on a few people...

I know it seems like we have more people yapping at you, but I'm guessing the percentage is fairly equal to anyone else. We just have one of the largest fan bases in the country. Combine one of the largest student bodies in the nation with a football team that is historically a powerhouse, and Ohio being a "football state" which both NFL teams suck, and Buckeye football is damn near a religion.

I talk a lot of college football with one of my old Army buddies from Oregon... He thinks the Ducks will be fine as long as the OC is promoted. He is taking a wait and see approach with all of your recruits between now and LOI day next month.

JHop, I appreciate your response, very transparent and informative and helps explain your reporting. Thank you.

Gerry and the others reported on the Buckeye site a version of the "story" in a much more favorable light to Buckeye fans. This gives the appearance, at least to me, that there is a level of discretion being used by mods/reporters to meet the "expectations" of the various fan bases, rather than a consistent, this is the story as we, i.e., 247 Sports, sees it. But that does not appear to be how 247 Sports is organized, i.e., team specific versus national.

As to Dontre's next steps, personally, one rule I always admired Chip for, is if you want to visit other programs, don't commit to us until you are ready to commit. Go visit others, then make your decision. That may seem a bit hollow now, and I understand why many would think so given his recent decision, however, I think the rule has merit. I also get that it may need to be a "guideline".

As history has shown, once an athlete has committed there is a very high retention rate. Given the relationship with Cam, the success Cam has had developing running backs both on and off the field, and that Dontre will have limited time to build a relationship with the OSU staff, I'm confident he will stick with his initial decision.

Thanks again.

P.S. I noticed you didn't comment on why Mathis is so engaged, or am I expecting you to.

And why are you here, and I can tell you this much, you have NO CLUE what Chip Kelly did and what hour he did it in and who was if anyone had a sour taste in their mouth, unbelievable this coming from you Bucknut fan, why would you need to even come on here and justify anything, cause we don't care about your opinion cause quite frankly I'm getting pissed to pay the Money I've paid over the year's to chat with my fellow Duck Fan's and I don't give a HOOT about what you think and could care even less about what Ohio St does for that matter, and for you to have such easy access really make's me question why I'm paying Duck Money to Duck people that let stupid people like you on here, Cause here's the CLUE, you would never find me on your sites cause I can't stand Ohio St and can't for the life of me, could understand anybody from our site going to your board, because I would have to question their loyalty to the Duck's, but mainly it would be because they are young and not very MATURE. So go back to your board and tell all your 5 thousand Alumni we don't care and none of these recruit's especially Dontre Wilson is coming to the Toilet of the world OHIO ST.

If Tre wants to get faster, play in space, be groomed as the next home run player a la DAT and learn from a top notch rb coach that puts kids on Sunday rosters...he will stay. His previous comments over the year have indicated he is well aware our system fits his skill set perfectly.

Whoa, take it easy. Oregon is an awesome state with a truly innovative football team. I love the style of play, jersey's etc. and the state is gorgeous. I do not know if Wilson will flip, Urban has a track record of flipping big time prospects(5 last year), but either way you guys should be more worried about NCAA sanction. tOSU got nailed for covering up free tattoos. I would be freaking out if i were you guys and Chip just bolted with rumors swirling of NCAA sanctions.

At this point its all a headache. Whatever happens happens. Oregon is RB U and will always get top notch RBs especially with Gary Campbell on staff. If he wants to play for tOSU then go ahead and regret it later. I'll tell you this though D Wilson is no Thomas Tyner. If he were to bounce then i'd be upset. Oregons backfield is well off with DAT B Marshall and Tyner coming in. If you don't think so dont forget that B Addison and Colt Lyerla are very capable of running with the rock. Don't sweat it. IMO Wilson stays. If he doesn't.... Next!
