The latter was expected once the numbers were in a month or so ago. This was just a formality. Ostling was the one still waiting on the numbers themselves.
And looking at ONID, Ostling and Hasiak are the only two signees not enrolled from the 2012 classes in the two major sports. Everyone else is in, including projected greyshirts.
what are the realistic odds that Hasiak makes it in? 50%?
Seeing that he wasn’t here in the Spring and has a history of poor grades, I will be surprised to see him here in the Fall. If he does get here you better play him immediately because I am not sure if he can stay in.
Thankfully, names like Andrews, Bays, Eldredge, Mitchell, Seumalo and Weinreich soften the blow of him not making it. I’m still interested to see which side Mitchell ends up.
Tribune reporting that Isaac most likely to play Center. With Juice and Enger at Guards, and Kelly and Phillipp at Tackles. If that holds true I would like to see Gavin Andrews or Wenreich in there for Kelly.
Enger and Phillipp should switch. I don’t know why the staff can’t see this.
Isaac at Center? I mean, that’s not bad, but I’d rather see him at DT. On offense, I think his best position is guard. Still, Issac, Andrews, Phillipp, Enger is a nice core. Need to upgrade Kelly big time. I agree that G. Andrews is the play there. Fall will tell us more. I know right now, though, that Collin Kelly cannot be the starting tackle if we hope to win games.
Given the responsibilities of center I’d very much prefer Isaac get a years experience before being placed there. Still, not sure Sapolu is the answer.
As my friend says, if he has a 50 % chance of getting in, then he has a 75% of not getting in.
These situations never seem to work out for us. Nice knowing you Stan.
I can’t believe Bolden ran a 11.08 100m with that stride… #3 in the 300H at CIF with a 38.08. That’s pretty impressive. He does not have a runner’s stride.
Dunno. PR looks for sure. I prefer his technique on D. But I like good D better than anything. Notice how he wraps while punching at the ball on most tackles. I do like that.
I was thinking having him a defense. We always seem to be pretty deep at receiver but thin at corner. But then it is always nice to have playmakers on the field.

Meant to post this yesterday, do you think we would have a similar marketing strategy than a program all the way from Kentucky?
?@LindsayRae19 @Mersladezz & her family drive by this every day in Springfield – talk about a big way to advertise your program pic.twitter.com/hMNVwet5
I can’t really see it, but it looks like hoops. They need to push hoops. Nobody really cares about it down here. You’d never know they’ve been to two Elite Eights in the last decade when talking to their Federline fan base.
It’s Women Hoops, for Louisville. They have an Oregon recruit on their squad. they put that kind of money on their Women’s program and we don’t do anything for even our Football program, stupid.
Not as much as we need linemen or pure dbs. Until we actually have scholarshIp linemen for two deeps and scrimmage I think we can list receiver as a lesser priority
I agree, great linemen will make average rb, qb, and wr look great, but outstanding skill players will appear to under perform w/o line support. I am sure I’m the first to ever make this point in a football discussion.
I think you may be on to something Jason. I think of we could pick up 3-4 oline men for this class it would go good with the 7 we picked up last this past class. Football usually can be broken down into who can block and tackle the best.
No… do we care when Western Oregon or Linfield signs a player? Check out today’s Oregonian, sadly, the Ducks are recruiting at a whole different level. JB
Buker just tweeted the Kansas Jayhawks schedule. Oregon St vs KU on Nov 30th. The Kansas coach commented that they have 8 freshmen on their team. It would be sweet to win that game.
I wanted to thank you for your website/blog. Here is where we all can get the most current news and information about OSU athletics without a subscription. Oregonlive.com , The Gazette Times, the Barometer, and even Cliff Kirkpatrick’s blog still haven’t posted anything about Victor Robbins, or Victor Bolden. It is your site and twitter where I receive all the latest and most current news and information. regarding OSU athletics.
Conspiracy theory re: Angry’s breaking news b4 the aforementioned journals send out even a whiff. Perhaps they need to check with BDC b4 they can go to print.
In the tribune article it was noted that OSU is adding the bootleg play back into the playbook this fall. I am pumped about this, it is a play that can effectively neutralize a weak offensive line. It can also take advantage of a potent run game (if we could develop one). Those two things are not mutually exclusive either.
Did someone say this kid’s 100M time was 11.08? Were they impressed by this?
Danny won’t remember it so don’ t get too pumped. We run the same six plays we always do.
The play action fake on third and thirty is my personal favorite.
Haha, I know right. But the bootleg shouldn’t have ever left the offense. After two straight runs up the middle. A completion on 3rd and 8 is actually quite doable in the bootleg set. A guy like Katz should’ve ran this quite a bit because he had the speed to tuck and get it with his legs too. A layer route over the top would given him multiple options and while he froze a linebacker with his legs. Also, you could move Jenkins (or any h-back from motion) down to fullback on 3rd because he can run a trap and can catch the ball out of the backfield on the flat route. Man, I wish our coaches would think of this stuff.
With the routes run 10 yards or shallower….Danny’s always outfoxing them. It is SO great to watch everybody bite on that playaction in that situation….
So depressing to watch the top recruits play here in our backyard, and yet we have no interest level in any of them. It should be a time to showcase the program, or at least sell it to these athletes. Nothing.
This is absolutely related to their appearance in the state. When I was in high school (not that long ago) I could’ve stated a number of reasons why I wouldn’t have wanted to play at OSU. First, the program “wasn’t that good”, despite only being a few years removed from the Fiesta Bowl. I would’ve cited the academic strength of the California schools, the tradition of UW and the hot girls at the Arizona schools.
Now after having attended OSU, I realize the obvious academic strength of the institution and that there were a surprising number of extremely attractive women at OSU. The problem is that, many of the schools have something to hang their hat on when they market to high schoolers. What does OSU have? Agriculture simply doesn’t cut it with high schoolers.
Science, Engineering and Technology. OSU is the best public university in the state for these and they are fields that drive economies as evidenced by OSU having the highest wage earnings of the public schools and clearly higher than Oregon. Instead of marketing ourselves as forward-thinking scientists and engineers that have access to cutting edge technologies we have more of a slow and stale image because of too much Riley and BDC influence. I hope the school never gives another coach 15 plus years again anytime during this 21st century. If you are too locked in with something or someone than it makes it hard to be truly open to possibilities that can make you your best. I think the university could market itself so much better than the “Powered by Orange” stuff. The new Linus Pauling Science Center and a quick bit on Linus and his 2 Nobel Prizes should be showcased in a commercial.
Yeah those cartoonish “Powered by Orange” commercials are pretty brutal to watch and downright embarrassing when they come on during a nationally televised game.
I realize the “Bleacher Report” is hardly the zenith of sports journalism, but in the absence of any progressive off season developments at OSU, and subsequently the lack of news, it is positive something to read about OSU football:
I really liked the way Mannion played last year, and think the INTs were understandable given line play, lack of running play, and his inexperience. I wasn’t happy to hear he was still throwing INTs in spring ball, but I trust the kid is studying all summer and preparing to make better decisions. I’ve also consistently said the fact that his is a coach’s son, from a winning program, is a huge positive. I expect him to be a “student of the game.”
I wonder if Malik Gillmore will earn any PT this coming year. If it’s like Wheaton’s first true FR year, I hope not – they seemed like a waste of a redshirt. I suspect with the depth its better to redshirt Gillmore.
There are some areas where the university could improve, and I believe Ed Ray realizes this, definitely would like to see continued growth within the academics. Engineering, vet school, sports medicine are among some that provide good standards.
Having said that there are enough things to sell to recruits. What you do is play to your strengths and OSU has enough to play too. Are there built-in disadvantages, yes, but nothing that can’t be overcomed with the right amount of desire. This staff seems to have given up on trying to sell the top level recruits to come here. You really have to sell yourself (coach/program) to overcompensate some of the things that are lacking (small stadium most noteably). This staff doesn’t seem to want to do that. Rather they sit back wait for other programs to fill up and see if they can sweep up some scraps or continue to go look for projects they can coach up and beef up in a few years. That could work if you have the depth, but fails miserably if you don’t.
What evidence do you have suggesting that the staff has “given up” on trying to get top level recruits? Oregon State currently has offers out to 18 4-star guys, according to ESPN. Do you have insider knowledge that the staff isn’t actively trying to “sell” the program to them? You’re presenting your opinion as though it is fact when clearly it is not true at all.
How does Notre Dame recruit so well? They have sucked a lot longer than Oregon state, and have not been relevant (minus false media hype) in over decade and half. Yet, they continually recruit the top athletes. Sure they have a great school, with a passionate fan base, and a fertile recruiting grounds, but I would think other Big10, Big12, and even some Big East teams would be a bigger pull than them. It must be the NBC deal? But now with all the other new tv deals I got a figure that recruits would be backing away. Just not right.
Some schools are always going to have highly rated recruiting classes year after year just based in the name of the school. Schools like notre dame, Alabama, Texas, Ohio st. Players want to be part of that tradition.
I’m a Purdue grad, so I may be biased, but word was that Notre Dame always paid (pays) their players. South Bend is a dump, so there’s no appeal there.
Those are some pretty weak teams. Other than GP, many of those players don’t deserve to be in any conversation about the best Pac players of all time.
PG – GP, Michael Warren, Jason Kidd
SG – Harold Miner, Terrell Brandon, Bill Sharman
SF – Sean Elliot, Reggie Miller, Marques Johnson (Johnson was really a SF out of position in college… Ed O’Bannon could replace him)
PF – Derrick Williams, AC Green, David Greenwood (should add Mel Counts to this position)
C – Lew, Bill, Sidney
It is context Jack. You are right he is a fool if only two people were holding a draft, however if 12 or 16 people drafted and voting on the internet determines the winner, then with 144 to 192 players than he may have a decent team. There is also Ron Lee, Ballard, Schrepf, Lichte, KJ, Fat, Sitton, Lester Conner, Andre miller, knight and the list goes on and on.
I noticed half your list wasn’t chosen either. I’m thinking the people drafting are probably some youngsters who don’t really know of the past players but know their names, stats and legends. I noticed they mention Luisetti and Sharman as not picked, so someone has a sideways look at history. But no Arnie Ferrin or Willie Naulls either? This sort of tells me no Trees, Trojans, Bruins or Utes were picking.
Like he said, there are eight teams in the league. 80 players and 8 coaches were drafted, including Kidd, Miner, Brandon, Elliot, Miller, Johnson, O’Bannon, Williams, Green, Greenwood, Counts, Abdul-Jabbar, Walton, Sidney, Lee, Schempf, Conner, and Miller. Full draft recap links are below:
I think you’ve got it over your opponent. I’m actually not sure how your opponent made it this far. I personally would not pick Don MacLean in the second round… of a draft of only UCLA players. There are some really weird picks in those 11 rounds. In all the years of West Coast hoops, some of those guys decided they would rather scrape the barrel for picks. I mean… Steve Kerr picked in the same round as Salim Stoudamire? You’re lucky there are no Cats fans in that league.
It is honestly away from my abilities to particular my thanksgiving thanks to as well present my recognition to the warlike to about their division to the universal by reason of they argue en route for our room.

Yeah… I’m not sure on the pros and cons for Hasiak. Glover should have been a teaching moment.
Thankfully, names like Andrews, Bays, Eldredge, Mitchell, Seumalo and Weinreich soften the blow of him not making it. I’m still interested to see which side Mitchell ends up.
Them’s some big boys!
Tribune reporting that Isaac most likely to play Center. With Juice and Enger at Guards, and Kelly and Phillipp at Tackles. If that holds true I would like to see Gavin Andrews or Wenreich in there for Kelly.
Enger seems better suited to tackle. If Philips wants to play on Sundays, he should demand a switch to guard.
Enger and Phillipp should switch. I don’t know why the staff can’t see this.
Isaac at Center? I mean, that’s not bad, but I’d rather see him at DT. On offense, I think his best position is guard. Still, Issac, Andrews, Phillipp, Enger is a nice core.

Although, it looks like Tyler Hasty and Chris Miller still need to go before an academic committee to be allowed full entry.

He would get off of that line so quick, he would cause mayhem in the backfield!
He does not have a runner’s stride.
That was my first thought…Crazy Legs Bolden
“jimmy legs”
I might get more excited about “crazy legs” if he was playing for a good Rams team from the 1950’s.
seems like he could be an impact return guy.
OSU also offered this guy today. It looks like Brennan is inland today.

From the story it looks like Cuba isn’t paying attention to the Beavs….intentional walk to load the bases with 2 out for Conforto!
Never mind the politics – baseball in Havana is exciting – almost electric. The 20-year-old from Arizona’s description is right on.
Weee…another WR….just what we needed
Wake me up when we land anyone over 265 lbs
They actually do need WRs now. A bunch left the program.
Not as much as we need linemen or pure dbs. Until we actually have scholarshIp linemen for two deeps and scrimmage I think we can list receiver as a lesser priority
I agree, great linemen will make average rb, qb, and wr look great, but outstanding skill players will appear to under perform w/o line support. I am sure I’m the first to ever make this point in a football discussion.
Yeah I still won’t bitch. Looks like a quality get from my seat. Now keep that fuckin ball rollin.

No… do we care when Western Oregon or Linfield signs a player? Check out today’s Oregonian, sadly, the Ducks are recruiting at a whole different level. JB

Take your meds and the decision will be easier. :D
