Autzen Audibles

I'm a star chaser, I won't lie, but that's only because generally they are rated a certain way for a reason. This kid is a beast and I would even call it a sexy commitment. He doesn't wait for players to come to him he meets them an drives them where he wants them to go.

Grrrrrrr my name is angry duck and I am here to stir it up!

"I love the tradition and the winning program. I'm honored to play for Oregon."

I could give two sh*ts if he was a 2 star. That statement is what I care about.

I'm betting you lost him at absolutes. He's think you're talking about vodka for rich folks.

It's hard to keep track of all the "AngryDucks" on this site.

The point being Back in Quack isn't really a star chaser, he's gung ho about all Oregon commits, see his comments the lowly ranked Walker as well. Which is fine. But one shouldn't go I'm a star chaser but love this guy.

First of all it questions the reliability of calling ones self a star chaser vs. the other option of just being pro duck. You are putting a distinction of being for this site above the general gung ho attitude. That one is superior because one follows the high star recruits and has discerning taste between how good different ones are.

The implication is that you are saying this new recruit is good or as good as many of the highly ranked players you follow closely because you follow them closely and know these things. But when you say all these xxx players are awesome without ranking them it somewhat invalidates your point.

I'm all for being for players who want to be ducks. But claiming your a star chaser and then going gung-ho that the lower ranked duck recruits are awesome is some flawed perspective.

Now it is possible to be this way and to be right, if all the duck players are homeruns in the long run, but the truth is some of the players we recruit will be misses. That would be true if we had a class of all 5 and 4 stars and one of all 3 and two stars. That is because there are only so much starting time that can be given to players.

I am for all players that want to be ducks, but I can't say that all players we get who commit will be awesome all Americian starters, or even starters on the team.

Say you love that guy great, I like this OL recruit because we've found strength in TE converted OL in our scheme. I'm not going to say I like this guy because I'm a star watcher, and despite his low ranking I think he is special.

Name a duck commit this class you don't like because you are a Star watcher and why, prove your discerning taste.

Actually yes, that does make me feel better.

Says the star watcher.

ignoring recruiting rankings is like saying I'm going to pass on my 1st round pick in the NFL draft and wait until the 5th because that was the round Tom Brady was drafted.

LOL
