LOL! Reaching...... Although I don't mind the optimism.

lol, this excuse might have carried some weight in September, but not anymore, especially when recruit after recruit says they have interest in Oregon but Oregon doesn't have interest in them. Do we really want to run down the list of blue chip talent that Oregon cooled on? And it's all because Kelly is a genius guru mind reader, even though Oregon's % of commits to offers is no better than anyone elses. We're Oregon. We don't need to be asking the ugliest chick in class to the dance just because we know she won't say no.

Why? Have the results from the previous three years not been good enough? Trust our coaches.

100% agree. Staff wasn't showing him the love for a reason imo. Obviously we don't know what it is, but I seriously doubt the staff is just trolling our entire fan base.

Pooh. Positive pooh. But still pooh.

asd.... who said the staff went cool on him? The staff can't talk about it, so they don't. All you hear is the athlete's feedback as presented through the media. I have no idea what was or wasn't done, since I didn't have the opportunity to question Jack. What I do know is that I have a 17 year old son that plays football. I've talked with a bunch of his friends that play. I've spoke to a number of the athletes at The Opening. Many of them are very mature and there are those that are very immature. Based on Jack's actions, I likely would find him to be somewhat immature. Best wishes to him wherever he shall land. And based upon the results that this staff has had with recruits and on the field, I will continue to trust their judgment far more than most any poster, recruiting analyst, etc., on this or any other site.

This, if the kid doesn't like or appreciate Oregon's methods would he ever fit otherwise?

Or maybe it's not necessarily true, and is just an easy answer to give. Who the hell knows. All that matters is that the staff missed yet again on a very important recruit.

Who truly is left at this position? Cunningham is a real long shot. Pulling a Southern boy away from the SEC who also has a mother who wants him to stay close to home? Really?

The past few years have been awesome. Now they need to work on sustaining it, and the results from this year's class don't add up to sustained success if they're missing out on dozens of key guys.

I've said it a bunch of times, love our staff, love what they do, but am tremendously disappointed with this year's recruiting. I like the players we have, but what frustrates me is that we could've had a lot more great fits for our program if the staff had simply put in some more effort. They play by their own rules, but at what point do you question if those rules are giving you the best results for sustained success?

Chip's scheme will continue to be effective for a long time, but you have to make sure you have the players to run it to the highest efficiency.
