*** 2017 Recruiting ***


Recommended Posts



Not gonna lie, I was worried that we may spoil some of our chances with this class after last year's poor on-field results. I thought we might not convert as many opportunities in this class as we could have if we didn't get the on-field result in line.

 

Well, we're off to a nice start. Long ways to go but a #15 ranking looks pretty nice right now. And it's really nice that Oregon, USC, UCLA, Notre Dame and LSU are all stinking the place up.

1= Nebraska visit was "lit"

1= Oregon stunk up the joint and lost back to back weeks.

2= the number you get when the first two numbers are added together.

Bolded part doesn't hurt any decent recruiter. "So <recruit name>, you can see why you're needed immediately here in Eugene. Could be starting from day one." Wins and losses on a recruit's visit matters more to the fans than the recruit.

Oh it matters to some recruits...

 

Why does everyone keep saying, just win and it will take care of itself?

I wouldn't say it doesn't hurt. If we lost back to back weeks I would expect it to negatively effect a recruits decision, especially at a place like Oregon that like it or not is on a decline. Recruits can see that.

I'm talking about assuming that whether the team wins/loses when the recruit is visiting makes a huge difference.

Let's back up. I'm not saying winning and losing doesn't affect recruiting. I originally thought you might have seen reaction or quotes or something about the visit. If the recruit says something, then that's what I'll go with, but I don't just assume that the visit went poorly because the team lost.

I think whether or not the team wins during the visit makes the most difference. That's just me though I guess.
