The school cannot comment on a prospect's status. I guess that means we mostly agree then, except that you don’t like them. I personally think a public commitment is better than silent commitment which is better than no commitment at all. Staging value to the program. But I also fully understand why a prospect would hope to use one. The other visits would usually treat them differently (better). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,317 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 There are multiple reasons for Silent commits. Sometimes the team asks the player to do this so they can plan when to make the announcement for maximum impact. Sometimes player is in an area where decision would bring a lot of grief to the player so to keep the grief to a minimum the players commits silently. Sometimes the player wants to do more visits and doesn't want to be treated differently because they have committed. Like most I would prefer and open commitment but it is what it is. One last thing unlike in the past these coaches are very tight lipped and because of that I doubt anybody has any hard information that he is a silent commit more that it is a rumor or hopeful thinking.

Tigerpro2a 5,650 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 So Oregon lost a WR commit. They probably lay it all on Clemons now. I hope they are too little too late. Should be a battle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUreo 764 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Not looking good. Could be a tough week: Clemons potentially committing soon, JWalker now predicted to Houston and D.Bowen will probably commit to ND. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au302 2,669 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Let's see. He can come here, in the SEC, in an offense that will develop him with cool Harsin/Boise pass concepts. Have Kiesau, a respected offensive mind, as his position coach. Instantly be the alpha dog outside receiver on the roster that we are currently missing. Seems pretty easy to me, but I can't blame him either if he doesn't want to move that far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker 2,457 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Why is Oregon losing all these skill players, while having a great season? What can the recruiting folks find out? Maybe there is a clue here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metafour 4,978 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Steve Wilfong and Brandon Huffman (national guys) just put in high-confidence CB's on Clemons to Oregon. KN is apparently likely to follow suit. Looks like we lost that one, oh well 😕 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not outside the realm of possibility that they told one of those guys to look elsewhere once they went harder on Clemons and secured his commitment. They had 4 receivers committed; I have no idea why Clemons wasn't a priority for them, but that obviously changed dramatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re supposedly trailing for Williams as well. This staff has so far done a magnificent job on the field and they deserve credit for that, but I still question their recruiting abilities to say the least. Need at least one more 4* commit to get us in the top 20–we seem to have a shot at Woody but FSU seems to be (gradually) improving, so let’s pull for them to lose out!

metafour 4,978 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 We are trending up with Williams. That one is moving in the right direction. Darrius Clemons...it looks like he was just waiting for Oregon to prioritize him. Which they now did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, after we shot up 30 spots in the 11th hour last year I still have hope we meet my recruiting expectations (14 spots to go).

Need at least one more 4* commit to get us in the top 20. When your are recruiting top 4-stars and 5-stars in Notre Dame and Oregon country, it’s pretty hard to land these kids. Not many CFB programs can pull this off, Notre Dame, Stanford, Alabama, and USC maybe. Oregon with Nike support. Unfortunately, Auburn is located between two Death stars now, Alabama and UGA, and Clemson is still around. We have no other choice but recruit nationally. We just need to land a few of these kids every year. We have the coaching staff with West coast ties (that’s why we are in the top 3 of these kids) and the new Football facility could be a factor in the future. Strategically, we need to fix NIL and maybe drop UA and switch to Nike. Get Tim Cook & Apple more involved. Use synergy effects, Basketball & Football, etc. Not sure what else we could do other than winning. Maybe produce another Heisman contender soon.

But we were always borderline or outright top ten before the pandemic, so no excuses starting next year. Edited November 3, 2021 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, up until a week ago we were considered the favorites for Clemons so who is or isn't considered the current favorite doesn't change anything. Mike Bobo has done a great job recruiting Williams, and he's set to visit for the Iron Bowl. He now obviously becomes our #1 target at WR. He's already taken his official visits to South Carolina and Ole Miss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
