National Signing Day 2012: With 19 commits, Oregon looks to finish strong in recruiting

Print[UPDATE] Bralon Addison and Chance Allen have flipped their commitments to Oregon. Oregon's class is now expected to have 21 players. Full story here.
[UPDATE] Oregon has officially announced a class of 21 players.
National Day 2012 is here! It's like Christmas in February, and it should be a great day for the Ducks.
Oregon currently has 19 verbal commits. If this is anything like last year, we won't know for sure that their letters of intent are in until Chip Kelly has his press conference this afternoon.
If Oregon's class commits as we think (and there's little reason to think anything will change) this will be another great class for Oregon. The Ducks have currently have 7 commits on offense, 11 on defense, and one specialist. It is a class that covers many of Oregon's needs, though there really weren't any pressing needs this recruiting cycle.
With Jake Rodrigues and Bryon Marshall, the Ducks will be adding even more skill in the backfield. Evan Baylis and Pharaoh Brown will add much needed depth to the TE position, and Dwayne Stanford adds height to the receiving corp. The offensive line only has Kyle Long, a JC transfer, but with the class from last season, that is not a pressing need.
On defense, the Ducks look to continue to add to their athleticism and versatility. Headlining the class is one of the top recruits in the west, Arik Armstead, who committed to Oregon on Sunday. With commitments from DeForrest Buckner, Alex Balducci, Terrence Daniel, Cody Carriger, and Stezon Bair, Oregon is adding a lot of talent and depth along the defensive line.
Brett Barfao, the Amoako brothers, Reggie Daniels, and Oshay Dunmore round out the back 7, and with Oregon's rotation, will compete for playing time quickly.
We'll have all the news for another great signing day for Oregon. There are still a few names out there that Oregon is chasing, and may add to the class. We'll have all the latest here at ATQ, so stick around and discuss all signing day news here. Welcome to all the new Ducks!

I’ve been checking in there for news on recruits. Never been one to follow recruiting so closely, but this year I’m kind of hooked; got on twitter for the first time . . . I really need a new hobby.
yeah, me too, first year that
I’m paying this close attention.
Seems to matter more as getting that slight bump up in quality can mean the difference between RB and NC.

considering that his dad and him have both said numerous times that schools recruiting him to be an OT weren’t being a considered, i’d say a long shot. i’d guess he’d only switch like jr year if for some reason he was terrible on the D Line.

4 year offers are the future
Even if the coaches hate it.
If my kid had a 4 year offer on the table and a 1 year offer, I’d push him to take the 4 year offer. It just seems a huge recruiting advantage.
4 yr offers just mean your school will be paid for no matter what right? not necessarily you’ll be on the team if you get hurt, etc?

I think that medical redshirts seem to be pretty standard practice. For most larger athletic departments, it’s not a big deal because those players don’t count against the scholarship limit.

His break-up with Cal was nasty and dishonest,
But he still isn’t signing a 30 player class, and he is just a positional coach after all.

Yeah, what Mora is doing is way worse
And I really think there will be significant backlash
Sure, a few won't be eligible.
But the numbers are so far off, that it seems like Mora must be hoping that a lot of players on the current squad wash out

Yeah, he must be counting on defections from the change in coaching regime, but that’s really sketchy.

I was watching some show on ESPN the other day and they were doing a segment on the Giants. I was thinking, “I hope I see Paysinger” and right then they showed a team successfully running an onside kick against the Giants. They showed Coughlin super pissed on the sideline glaring/yelling at a couple of players as they left the field. As they walked by him I got to see the back of the jersey and it was Paysinger.

Greenberry, a onetime Notre Dame commitment, signed with Houston and first-year coach Tony Levine.
Greenberry was the top receiver in Notre Dame’s class. The Irish will only bring in two receivers, which was a major priority for the Irish. Greenberry, from Fresno (Calif.) Washington Union, was recruited by assistant Jamie Christian at two schools, first at Arizona State, then at Houston.

by Honka Playboy on Feb 1, 2012 10:41 AM PST up reply actions
Wanted him.
But admissions decision wasn’t made yet. The coaches have no pull with admissions, there is a “Chinese Wall” between the two. Coaches thought he would get in, as did everybody b/c his grades and test scores were great. Unfortunately, it turns out he didn’t. I feel bad for the kid that the decision wasn’t made sooner, though.
Since the process can't be made public
I’m going with my gut instinct that there are some whispers going back and forth across the Chinese Wall.
I have no idea about the Shaw regime, but it was pretty well documented that Harbaugh advocated successfully for easier standards for athletes
scrappy
by Honka Playboy on Feb 1, 2012 10:58 AM PST up reply actions
True
for the somewhat “relaxed” standards, at least under Harbaugh, but my understanding is still that the coaches have no say in the admissions decision itself as related to certain athletes. In other words, while the admissions bar may be slightly lower for athletes as opposed to general student population, the decision on whether to admit or not – given that particular standard – is still out of the hands of the athletic dept.
How were Barry Sanders Jr's scores?
scrappy
by Honka Playboy on Feb 1, 2012 11:03 AM PST up reply actions
Not quite as good as Jontrey's.
But I knew plenty of people that got accepted when I was there whose scores/grades were lower than people who didn’t. I don’t even try to comprehend what the admissions dept. does. With a 7% acceptance rate, albeit a bit higher for star athletes, lots of people who deserve to be in get left out.
ok. just saying
it is all speculation of course, but if Andus Peat or Kyle Long or Sanders Jr don’t get accepted, it makes it a lot easier to swallow.

by Honka Playboy on Feb 1, 2012 11:09 AM PST up reply actions
I absolutely agree.
Although, I don’t recall Kyle Long ever being considered. I’m not sure he would have qualified. Stanford doesn’t generally take a lot of jc transfers. But yeah if Peat, or Shittu, or Murphy don’t get in (if they want to come) it would make it look more legit.
Maybe he doesn't want to sit in church,
or live in a dorm for four years, or live in South Bend, ever.

That are very nice and put Bean to shame. However, that year in the dorms was the best and I made my lifelong friends there.
My parents believed in me.
I am definitely glad that I spent my first year in the dorms.
About 25 or so (of the 40 of us from our floor) are still really good friends with each other, and we see each other all of the time. Not to mention, because the rooms in Bean are so small, it really forced us to get out of our rooms and constantly interact.

no matter what you say, you have to end it with “and twins” Like this:
Person 1:: “Hey, how did Oregon’s recruiting class turn out?”
Me:: “Looks good. We picked up a lot of D-lineman, stole some WRs from Texas to fill some needs on the teams. Got a great QB to come in and learn the system, ANND TWIIIIIIIIIINS”

Moreover, four schools have never been targetted for a major NCAA violation.
Stanford, Penn State, and two others I don’t remember. (Yeah, they might get hit for the Sandusky stuff, but if they do, that’s completely ridiculous and the NCAA is waaaaay overstepping their bounds.)

You should add...
That the main reason that Penn St probably won’t get hit with sanctions was because their situation was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse than what the NCCAA enforces. And they wil be paying for their crimes for years.
In no way would I include Penn St now in that list of unsanctioned schools.
It's not so much that what they did was way worse than what the NCAA enforces (although obviously it is)
but moreso, that what they did is way different than what the NCAA is concerned with.
Put it this way: there’s a small number of schools that have never been investigated by the NCAA for actions that could potentially put then at an improper advantage over their opponents. This is still true for PSU, even post-Sandusky.
I still think they belong on this list, even though you’re correct that what they did was a billion times worse than NCAA bullshit — and yes, they will be paying for this for years.

Houston is the worst city in the US
It has the worst things of basically everywhere: an ugly downtown, a huge sprawl, massive pollution, no real wilderness or nature anywhere, a bad culture and a huge problem with poverty.

Johnny Caspers 3star 6’3" 270
Add 5 star Murphy to that? That’s an offensive line! That’s almost a 2 deep.

Their offensive line class is absurd.
It makes me really glad that our defensive line class is great as well.
Winners of the Platypus trophy!
Until they recruit some speed on defense it won't matter much versus us
We’ll remain unstoppable and our defense good enough to get a few stops.
My parents believed in me.
I agree.
Our future matchups will probably look a lot like the Rose Bowl did. Stanford will score their points rushing and will pass efficiently, but our speed will ultimately do them in.
Winners of the Platypus trophy!
I agree.
But Stanford’s LB depth is getting pretty crazy.
And Big Skov will be back next year?

Not as good.
But there is: Lancaster, Murphy, Tarpley, Thomas (starters after Skov went down) as well as both Skovs, James Vaughters, Noor Davis, etc.
None of whome could keep up with a single Oregon skill player
Stanford’s defense remains grossly overrated.
My parents believed in me.
I respectfully disagree
with the “grossly” part. Skov is a legit beast, Vaughters is fast as well as physical, and Noor Davis must be the number 1 outside linebacker recruit for some reason.
Except for a few missed tackles I think the defense did a fairly good job against Okie Lite (mostly in the run game), another reasonably explosive team.
They did do a fine job against Ok St.
But Ok St is a one dimensional team.
Their good D stats are more the result of their steamrolling offensive style which basically keeps the ball away from their opponent.
Against a team like Oregon that scores quickly and is balanced, I think they get exposed for being big and slow.
My parents believed in me.
Now that
I generally agree with. I do think the defense looks quite a bit different with Skov healthy, as well as with some of the red-shirts and new recruits.
Will Skov come back better than he was 2 years ago?
I wasn’t that impressed with him in 2010 against us

Probably not physically better,
but I don’t think he’ll be much worse. He might be better mentally, and x and o situationally. Who knows. He’s had time to learn more, though.
I’m not predicting a Stanford win against Oregon by any means. I think you’re generally right about the match-up between Oregon’s O and Stanford’s D. However, I think the same can be said about Oregon’s O and just about anybody’s D.
Even LSU.
Duck offense not the problem in that game. Outgained LSU, and scored more points on them than anybody else all year. Turnovers were the difference. Yeah some of that was probably due to LSU defense (Honey Badger), but some was bad luck, and some might have been DAT thrust into significant action against that type of defense in his first ever college game, at least partially due to other’s injuries.
True
As much as I hated those turnovers, the defense has something to do with that. They had the speed to counter Oregon’s speed. Same with Auburn the year before…
But to your point: all but a few teams do have trouble with Oregon’s speed.
My parents believed in me.
Next year's game will be interesting
I’d like to see how our last year’s class matches up with their class from this year.

Looking ahead: where Stanford's monster OL class
really comes in handy is if they get Winston to commit. In 3 years? That is Leinhart at USC territory.

Did I miss it?
‘cause I haven’t heard or seen any Oregon stuff on ESPNU yet.
My parents believed in me.
They had said they were going there soon, but haven't
and now I have class.

Tons of moving and shaking at Uw
@bcondotta: Kenneth Walker, who visited UW last weekend and as of Monday was expected to commit to Huskies, just signed with UCLA.

Dear Lord
How can CK concentrate on those questions standing that close to Jenn Brown?
My parents believed in me.
Honestly.
I would take her over Erin Adrews any day.

Chip just said 5-6 players should contribute next year.

Are they changing the rules?
Don’t you still need 11 on the field at any time?

I think we already like Oshay Dunmore
Just a reminder I go on the air at 4:04 with John Conzano on 750 The Game!

Smart boy with a good misspelling.
Got the shoes. Got the jersey. And finally, got football. Go Ducks.

Not that meaningful recruiting star tallies from recruiting services:
4*: Rivals 10, Scout 10.
3*: Rivals 9, Scout 10.
2*: Rivals 2, Scout 1.
Oregon’s class ranked 3rd in Pac-12 and 15th nationally by Scout. 4th in the Pac-12 and 15th nationally per Rivals.
Also interesting – Heights: Of the 21 signees, the shortest are Marshall at 5’10, Addison 5’10, E. Amoako 5’11. Everyone else is at least 6’. And nine players are 6’5 or taller. Seven players are 6’6 or taller – and of those seven, five are defensive linemen.
Somewhere, somehow, a Duck is watching you.
By the Osweiler ratings, we had the number one class in the nation.
