Might have something to do with the latest article on ESPN western recruiting quoting Boyd saying he is leaning to us...posted today I thinkuofo627 wrote:Care to share why you are so confident?Cota wrote:Will you feel the same way after Oregon gets Boyd's LOI?oreducks77 wrote:This is turning into Terrell Pryor 2.0...
I'm getting tired of East Coast recruiting, the farthest east we should start going is Texas. We can land 4/5-stars from Texas, but we can't pull it off any farther east.

Re: BuckNuts article on Boyd...
I knew you guys would jump all over me for saying that.
All i'm saying is we might be wasting a lot of time and resources trying to get kids out East when we know we have a much better shot when they're hometown is less than 1,500 miles away.
I was recruited in my sport and committed to ASU out of high school and took 5 trips total, but I lived in Florida at the time, the ASU coaches told me that they generally don't recruit out East because the chances of landing a recruit decrease the farther away they are. We had 6 guys on our team go D-1, all of them but me stayed on the East coast. So forgive me if I might have a different opinion than you on how Oregon should recruit. Oregon just RECENTLY started recruiting nationally, because the coaching staff now believes they can land kids out East. More power to them, but I'm not convinced that we shouldn't be sending coaches to Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Nevada... rather than Virginia and Florida. How well do you think teams like West Virginia and Georgia would do recruiting out in California? They'd have to steal kids right out from under the nose of USC, Oregon, Cal, etc.... that's not easy.

If we did what you're proposing we never would have gotten Blount.
You're list of who we don't get could be 100 names long, and my list would only have to be 2 or 3 names long and I'd be winning.
And you do realize that if we do get Boyd, your "We should just stop recruiting East" plan would look like the worst idea ever conceived right?
You do realize that don't you?
Spot on Rose!
