Worst kept secret

Yawn. This is what recruiting has become. It has become such a circus and sideshow and kids are taking advantage of it. I have grown tired of all the crap. Commitment has a lot different meaning these days.
Nobody is a commit until they sign in February. It is happening everywhere. Heck Oregon has lost 2-3 guys this fall.
Yep. It's bad everywhere. If we get O'brien signed, I am fine with that.
Not a shocker. Frost wasn't going to stop chirping in his ear. Kepping both QBs was going to be tough. When it was announced the other would enroll early in January I figured that would be the final nail in the coffin.
Good luck to the kid.
I don't really blame him. It appears O'Brien is the heir apparent and is coming for spring. If Wilson comes here he might not see the field unless he switches positions. If by some miracle we get Gebbia it will make Wilson's chances worse.
Spot on, his style is better suited for Oregon after what I seen yesterday. He would have been quit a stretch to keep them both.
Gebbia would make us forget about the sting of losing Wilson.
I stand corrected. I really honestly thought we were going to keep him. If we were going to lose TW, I'm surprised he changed his mind this early. I'm glad he did it sooner rather than later though.
Good luck to him and onto the next.
Honestly why I pay little to no attention to recruiting anymore until signing day.
Good luck to the kid, but he will still have his work cut out for him at Oregon for playing time. They currently have 2 Freshman 4 star QBs on the roster in Travis Jonsen (Waller) and Morgan Mahalak. They also Seth Green committed in this class, who is also a 4 star.

Isn't Seth Green a bit old to be a Fresman? Plus it's rare that midget, ginger qb's are any good.
Not a shocker. All N with O'Brien.

My bad. Didn't have time to filter through the "new posters" who have crawled out from under rocks to piss and moan after one game!! LOL..Joke...Sick
Hopefully POB is the real deal, but I assume the staff will go after another QB to have two in this class if they intended to have two originally.
If our future offense looks like it did yesterday, we don't need much of a dual threat QB and they better find the future NFL QBs.

We are fine, O'Brien fits our offesne better and looks to be our future at QB, and they way it looks with tue Calabass crew, we should get Gebbia, KJ Jr, Hightower and hopefully Holmes. The 3 4 stars look to favor us and Holmes seems to be torn between us and Stanford. Hopefully after Standfords pour showing yesterday, we can pull him our way.

We can't even hold on three star guys anymore and frankly it's a smart move considering where we are headed now.
We just started probably a 5 year sentence of being converted into Oregon State.
But the good news is we won't be embarrassed by sideline antics and our coach is a nice guy.
Too bad nice guys finish last......
Go big red !!
I can't wait until 2021 !!

Jesus. Can someone get rid of this recycled troll???
Elvis leave the building. Put down the whatever the heck you're smoking. Wilson was gone for a while and there are several reasons for it.
Watch out for chicken little running around as well where you are.
Take a breath seriously.

Seriously Elvis back to.the toilet.
You are far from the news breaker on this one, and if didn't see this coming, you are even dumber than your posts make you appear.
Kids want to be where programs are winning. Although this was just one loss it still doesn't look the best from a recruit stand point. Winners want to be with winners
not surprised. knew from the get go it was going to be tough to hold onto both players. it's encouraging to me that coach langsdorf is a true expert in spotting QB talent.
I said this in the thread you guys had about Noah Fant. I take commitments with a grain of salt these days as kids change their mind, sometimes multiple times before signing day. This is why I think a lot of college program would benefit from an early signing period.
We did several weeks ago, not that it means we will sign two for sure but the staff has been proactive for awhile now.
I have to tell you, at some point, it has to be VERY tough on these established grown men (the head coaches) to have to pander to these 17 year olds, continue to write them, tweet to them, kiss their asses only to find they don't hold any real form of commitment. I look at the kid, Fant, from Omaha who says "I'm committing to Iowa for now, but hope teams keep recruiting me" (something to that nature). Then why do you feel the need to commit if you hope teams continue to recruit you??
It screams of kids who love the attention and think they are a little more important than they really are.
I hope recruiting standards change to remove some of the power these kids think they have.
Regarding Wilson, I agree, it was obvious he was simply waiting for the Oregon offer and he finally received it. I'm pretty sure Riley and gang had written him off long ago.
