Still trying to understand Oregon being the best option if he doesn't make it to the NFL. Like I seriously can not comprehend this.
Oh well didn't want him anyways seems like too much of a diva.

wonder who he would have chosen had chip kelly gone to tampa.

does this break up the cal crew, and leave any kind of a glimmer/sliver of hope with shaq? or you guys think shaq is either cal or uw?

Am I the only person in complete shock over him picking Oregon?
Don't get me wrong...I think Oregon is a fantastic school and has a TON of money put into the program, but has he ever really talked about them during this process?
I heard it was mainly down to ND and Auburn...this seems completely out of left field to me...

A number of people on this board predicted Oregon over the past couple of days

Get that weak sauce out of here. Even if its true, don't come in here DURING THE ANNOUNCEMENT sharing info like that. What is the point of doing that now.

WTF??? It's not weak sauce at all. ISD reported that he wasn't coming to ND a few hours ago. Magogian passed that info on, b/c people were wondering if ND had a chance. What better time to relay that info to the other members??? Some people love to throw that b.s line "Link or it didn't happen", but the truth is that it was on the message boards, not an article, so it is impossible to link you to it unless you are a premium member.

People need to either kindly stfu with the "I want a link!!!" bullcrap or pony up the money to be a subscriber to one of those sites. Or better yet, they can simply ask politely if the poster has a link or if it is from message boards or their own 'sources'. It makes for a much better board and it makes people kind enough to post info actually want to continue doing it for people who aren't privy to that info.

You shouldn't be surprised. Over a month ago, I said that I had been reading from people I trust that Oregon was his leader. Turned out that ND was a real player here and might have lead for a minute, esp had his brother been cleared.

And btw, if we read the tea leaves better, we won't be disappointed so much at losing recruits. Listen to what they say to OTHER schools' reporters, not what they say to ND reporters. I never once got the feeling that CA guys Shaq, Jordan Peyton, Armstead, or Ismael Adams were coming here, and I wrote that. I was wrong on Armstead (he was serious about being Irish apparently), but the other guys...ND wasn't ever in their true plans, no matter what they told our reporters.

Good Luck to him! For all those that were holding out some ND hopes, the hopes were completedly dashed when his bro could not get medical clearance.

The ONLY reason he considered ND is because there was a chance his brother could come here. We should move on and wish him well.

We still cashed in on some major Cali talent in Tee and DGB. This is a damn good class, especially after a disappointing season.

BeauBuken, your one v-buck please.

I don't doubt you at all...I guess I just missed what you had written.
I wish him luck....kid has talent....and you honestly can't blame a kid for picking an awesome school ike Oregon.
I love the moron on here who said Armstead shouldn't major in Sports Marketing....shows how little that guy knows....there is a ton of opportunities in that field....especially with Nike and Oregon being hand-in-hand...

Unless I completely missed it (and I just rechecked) no one said anything about an ISD update/or message board comment at any point today until that moment. My point was that even if true, why would the poster choose to divulge this information at that moment rather than "a few hours ago". I was commenting on the extremely poor timing, right in the middle of a mini-crisis. It was better for him to just not say anything at all rather than come in here with link-less info considering we were all on pins and needles

And I only made my comment after he affirmed that he had no link. Didn't jump at him until then

AA's, good luck man to you and your bro! I hope it works out for you. Know this, you can always transfer to ND in the future, just like J. Prestwood and A. Carlise. Come home if and when your ready.

GO IRISH!

I don't pay alot of attention to Oregon recruiting but i would think Arik is the highest rated defensive get (star wise) for Oregon in a very long time? Was Haloti Ngata a 4 or 5 star?

Oregon has 2 4 star DE's in the current class as well according to Rivals.

kelly will have him at offensive left tackle by the stanford game next year i bet.

(promise em what they want to get em signed then do what you want with em once they're in. like LSU did with joe barksdale couple years back)

Chip might do that (or at least try). but Arik will probably transfer if they do that.

Lol, I guess I missed your deleted posts. I noticed that people were actually thinking we had a shot. So, rather than everyone get their hopes up, I thought it was worth passing along the info.
