Recruiting Weekend

Has anyone heard rumors?

We know Jalen Moore committed. I’m okay with him…2-star “low hanging fruit”, but what I noticed about Andersen’s low hanging fruit is they look more polished and with higher upside. Moore is a big hitter, slightly raw. Maybe within a year he can contribute. Riley’s LHF took 3 years to develop, and didn’t have as high a ceiling.

A good example is Jay Irvine. He was originally a 2-star. He’s now been bumped to three stars with interest picking up. He looks like a really aggressive, intense DB who can contribute soon. Andersen is focusing on the players recruiting services miss. Riley focused on neat stories and guys completely off the grid. The philosophies overlap in some ways, but Andersen’s guys seem like better players who will be ready sooner and have more upside. They also look more athletic.

Anyway, share anything you’ve heard. I’m most interested in Thomas. He is a good looking RB.

Tomorrow at 6pm. Feel free to discuss recruiting in this thread until then (I’m curious to see a complete list of weekend visitors, if anyone has it).

I’m putting the thread up a day early because I’m really digging the way these guys play.

A nice writeup here from the official site with tidbits.

This is an interesting five game stretch against some of the weaker teams this year: Washington, Washington State, UCLA, USC, ASU (before facing Arizona again). The way the Beavs are playing defense, they could theoretically win all of those.

The lady Beavs (redundant?) are 9th in the AP after dismantling Oregon. I declare 2015 the year of the Beaver.

Can’t make this up!

Ohio State has the most recent national title … but it has a ways to go to catch the team with the most titles

Lols.

In Eugene, they are setting couches on fire. That’s not going to help their reputation of being a landfill. It looks like in Columbus, they were basking in reflected glory a little too hard, and got a mouthful of teargas for it. Back to the couch eating Pringles, Buckeye fan.

Should I even create this? It’s unrelated to the Beavs, and honestly I don’t give a hoot who wins.

We know what’s at stake:

If the Ducks win, it’s good for Pac-12 respectability.

However, if the Ducks win, it gives Duck fans bragging rights. But really, who brags anymore? If any of your friends give you flack or act like they won the NT, just remind them they’re being pathetic and:

Basking in reflected glory (BIRGing) is a self-serving cognition whereby an individual associates themselves with known successful others such that the winner’s success becomes the individual’s own accomplishment

Unless they suited up for the game they did jack shit, and cheering for young men you don’t know is kind of eerie. We root for the uniform, school pride, etc, and if our school wins we should be proud of our school not bash another school. Don’t see the need to bash Ducks or visa versa. Don’t understand those of you who hate the Ducks (hate = jealousy).

Just let the better team win and move on with life. I’m completely indifferent to this game and might not even watch. From everything I’ve read and heard, TCU was the best team in the country this year and got hosed, so these teams are playing for the silver and bronze.

Go……..whoever.

45-27, Oregon
