Tajh Boyd prediction thread

After reading his "positives and negatives" of each school I'd have to say that he's going to Ohio State.

SuperDuck, do you have a link that lists them all out in one spot?

I think this is a skewed poll. Of course the majority of people are going to say Oregon because this is an Oregon board.

Sorry, I forgot about that. That article screams "OHIO STATE" to me.

Unfortunately, I think we get hosed again by Ohio State..for some reason kids like losing on the big stage in a crumby conference.

They are kids and they are gonna make whatever decision they think is best for them.. that being said the heck with him if he chooses Clemson or OSU over Oregon. Have fun losing. If it is pt he is worried about he should go to Clemson. If he wants a lot of hype while sittin the bench behind another hyped player go to OSU. If he wants to learn how to be a great qb...granted it may be 2-3 years before he sees the field...then come to Oregon. Kids wanna take the easy way out alot of times...to be "the" guy thinking that will help them in the pros somehow. I would think the extra competition would be good if a player wanted to go on to the pros.

Unfortunately, I think it's gonna be Clemson. I don't know how they sold him on playing time, with Willy Korn on board and was supposed to be the next big thing, but their coach is a Christian, so apparently nothing else matters. Based on the article posted by MFRDuckFan I think it's certain Oregon is out of the mix now and he's down to 2.

I thought his dad was high on us? Clemson?? Why wait until Tuesday then if Clemson if your choice? Not so sure it is that much in the bag. Why would the family move? Maybe he wants his space to find his own way. I guess we'll see!!

[SuperDuck]

Oh well, I'm not too concerned about it. Of course, I'd love to have him. I was very impressed with how he played in the Army All-Star game, but our coaching staff is excellent at developing players and there's no guarantee that he'll even excel at the college level.

Besides, I don't think there's any way he'd overtake Masoli or Darren Thomas for playing time, unless they were both injured. They both have great talent themselves and have at least a full year of experience in the system. We'll find a good QB next year or the year after and we'll be just fine, if he does decide to go elswhere.

The one thing that pisses me off about the whole recruiting signing deal...is when the players make a big deal out of grabbin a hat...or pickin one up and then throwin it down. Why act like a punk?? Just pick one up and thank the other schools for showing interest in you. Am I that old?? LOL That stuff just ticks me off...I dont even care if they pick Oregon when they do it.

I agree with you. When I was younger, respect was #1 in our house. You always said please & thank you. Picking the hat seems disrespectful as it publicly slaps the other schools that are not chosen. But I'm not 17 and not as hip as I should be I guess!

[ghetarr2007]

Haha, that dude on the Army AA game did that, the one who went to Michigan but picked up an LSU hat first, then dropped it. WIlliam Campbell. Which I guess leads to my question, is Boyd's announcement going to be televised?

That article says Clemson to me Even though his father said before they would move to the west coast to be close to their son and support whatever his decision was, it sounds like distance could hurt the Ducks yet again. It also sounds like Dabo and Clemson have had success playing the Christian card. Maybe Kelly and Bellotti need to start playing the religion card. Oh well, if he chooses the Ducks I will be pleasantly surprised, if not I look forward to Masoli and Thomas running the offense for the next 4 years and with a good showing next season the Ducks should be able to pick up a top 4-5* QB for next year's class.

Saying he like Oregon because of Nike made my heart sink a little bit, let's hope he makes the right decision on Tuesday
