Oregon Duck Football Recruiting

February 7th is Letter Of Intent Day for High School Seniors to send in their letters accepting football scholarships from U.S. Colleges and Universities. To date, the University of Oregon Ducks have received 27 non binding verbal commitments. According to Scout.com ,an Internet site, that tracks these sorts of things, Oregon has commitments from 11 **** Star athletes and 10 *** star athletes on a ***** star scale. In the past Oregon has been lucky to get 4 or 5 four Star athletes but this year they have 11. Oregon is rated at the #9 team in the nation in recruiting this year, to date, and second in the Pac-10 only to U$C. In the past Oregon was often last in the Pac-10 in recruiting. This takes away SOME of the sting of the terrible season Oregon had last year and the embarrassing loss in the Los Vegas Bowl.However I will not forget that loss for a long long time and I don't care how many stars a football player has, as given by a ranking service, he must perform on the field and we need to beat the Oregon State Beavers EVERY year. Keep in mind oral commitments are not binding and we will not know for sure who comes to Oregon until Letter of Intent Day .... Wednesday February 7th... the Wednesday after the Super Bowl.
