Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

LOI Open Thread

Update [2008-2-6 21:49:43 by jtlight]: Here are a couple round ups for the day. Rickert breaks down the class, Moseley gives his recap of Bellotti's press conference, and here's Bellotti's conference in video with bios for each recruit. This is a very, very good class: 19th in the nation and 3rd in the Pac-10. We continue to add very, very good pieces that will thrive in the system. Oregon football is not fading. We've got great coaches and great kids. GO DUCKS!

Well, signing day has finally arrived.  We'll try to keep an updated list of athletes that have signed on this main page.  Feel free to post all comments and discussion in this thread.

We have received letters of intent from:

  • Hamani Stevens, C (Chose us over UCLA) -- His signing is not updated on the Oregon signed LOI page, but Rivals has him indicated as already signed his LOI. We now have his LOI.
  • Ellis Krout, WR (JC) (From Rickert. Note: Scout has him only as a verbal, no LOI.)
  • John Boyett, CB
  • Kiko Alonso, LB
  • Kenjon Barner, RB/DB
  • Chris Harper, QB
  • LaMichael James, RB
  • Dion Jordan, WR/TE
  • Mychal Rivera, TE
  • Scott Grady, CB
  • Nick Cody, OL
  • Dewitt Stuckey, LB
  • Justin Thompson, DL (JC)
  • Josh Kaddu, LB
  • Blake Cantu, WR
  • Garrett Embry, WR
  • Zach Taylor, LS (JC)
  • LaGarrette Blount, RB (JC)
  • Blake Ferras, DT (JC)
  • Darron Thomas, QB

As another note, from ESPN, Tommy Streeter decided to stay close to home and go to Miami.

And another letdown, Boyd is going to Kentucky. Rickert sums my feelings up well.

Enrique Davis, who we thought we had a shot with, has also said he will be going to Ole Miss.

Update [2008-2-6 10:35:20 by jtlight]: For updated results, here is the live tracker from GoDucks.com.

Update [2008-2-6 12:21:17 by Dave]: Darron Thomas has signed his LOI, which is hardly a surprise as he's already enrolled. Also, according to Pryor on ESPNU, Pryor won't decide today and Oregon is back in the mix. At this rate, we'll know sometime in August where he is going. However, with this playing out as long as it is, he almost has to make a visit.

Update [2008-2-6 13:06:17 by ntrebon]: Want to hear about how Thomas is doing? Moseley has an article up that talks about his early enrollment and his desire to start at QB ASAP. Also, here is the corresponding blog entry, with some more information. Good reads, so check them both out.

Update [2008-2-6 13:41:36 by jtlight]: More from Pryor. Here we go, straight from his mouth, check out the video of his press conference today. He said Oregon is definitely in, and he will be taking a flight to Eugene sometime soon. I'll believe it when I see it. And seriously, good luck to the kid. Seems like he needs it.

Streeter
The Streeter news sucks.  Hopefully we'll pick up another of the WR.

Yep
I have my fingers crossed.

Ugh
On losing out on Boyd, too.

by ntrebon on Feb 6, 2008 8:12 AM PST up reply actions  

Could Grady play WR?
Oregon is loaded with young corners, maybe Grady could slide in at wideout.

According to ESPNU
We are back in the mix for Pryor.  He won't sign today, which likely means a visit is in the future.

God.  Will this ever end?

Just saw it
Did you expect anything else?  There have been multiple reversals every day for the past week.  Hopefully, the extra time allows for him to make a trip out here.

by ntrebon on Feb 6, 2008 9:23 AM PST up reply actions  

Geez...
How does this kid ever get anything done?

What happens when he goes out to eat?  It seems like he has about 7 voices in his head.

On a side note
thanks for keeping this thing going.  With the coaching and the baby, haven't had too much time for blogging.  Come march, when our season is over, I'll be rolling in time.  Coaching is like adding 20 hours to your work week.  But its a ton of fun.

Big new about Stevens
That is really exciting.  Picking up the 2nd best center in the nation is huge.  That position is vital, and having depth on the line is huge.  We have 2 great commits, as well as the guys from last year.  It all starts with the line!

Stevens
Was the guy I have been watching all morning after we missed on the WRs.  

by ntrebon on Feb 6, 2008 12:30 PM PST up reply actions  

yeah, me too
Is there any other possibilities, besides Pryor?

Rickert had something about the possibility of Antwon Moutra, but I doubt that.  Anyone heard anything?

by jtlight on Feb 6, 2008 12:32 PM PST up reply actions  

Nope
I have nothing else.  I also saw the note on Moutra, and have similar feelings...

by ntrebon on Feb 6, 2008 12:36 PM PST up reply actions  

Stevens
Word is on scout that he committed to oregon

by DucksfaninMA on Feb 6, 2008 1:47 PM PST reply actions  

Nothing specific...
Though I believe Moseley had a comment on his blog that he remembered reading that Jarrett said he just felt more comfortable with the ASU coaching staff. Pretty tough to lose him, especially to a Pac-10 school.
