Gameday Behind the Scenes - Oregon State defeats #6 ASU

Football Recruiting Update

Tomorrow is the big day. I've been paying attention to the media reports on OSU's progress and reviews on past classes.

OSU is expecting a really good class of new recruits- we shall see.

ESPN continues to to highlight the fact that recruiting rankings don't mean much. Riley is going to need to deliver this year.

Who is the next RB?

Ken Simonton, Steven Jackson, Yvenson Bernard and Quizz Rogers.

Who is going to be the next producer for OSU?

The current roster:

34 Jenkins, Jordan RB 6-1 211 JR

22 Marable, Malcolm RB 5-7 157 lbs SO

24 McCants, Ryan RB 6-1 228 lbs SR

19 Stevenson, Jovan RB 5-11 186 lbs JR

42 York, Clayton FB 6-0 225 lbs JR

36 Parsons, Dylan FB 5-9 202 lbs RS SO

Incoming:

Storms Woods, RB, 5-11 205 lbs
Malcom Agnew, RB, 5-9 180 lbs
Terron Ward, RB, 5-7 185 lbs


I think there are a lot of question marks unless Ryan McCants steps up as the man....

Oregon St is par with Idaho

Desmond Collins is a talented high school kid who changed his commit from Idaho to OSU this week. Below is a quote. Is this supposed to be a positive? The only difference was that Oregon St was in a BCS conference. WTF. Howabout 1st round draft picks? Howabout beat downs against USC? Howabout bowl appearances? Howabout current NFL players? Howabout OSU's academics? Idaho was close? Really? W-T-F

“All along, my feeling was the two schools were pretty equal and the one difference was Oregon State played in a BCS conference,” Collins told ESPN. “I was OK with that but lately, I started hearing more and more talk about a lot of schools jumping out of the WAC conference and it made me think a little more. I know Fresno State, Hawaii and maybe even Nevada could all leave and I don’t know what that would do for the conference. I didn’t know if Idaho would stay or if there would even be a conference any more.”

This year's recruits

Here is my rating on this year's class of signee's- B-

Hits: Mannion

First off the misses-

Owamagbe Odighizuwa- He chose UCLA over Nebraska and OSU. He is from Portland Oregon. He is a punk. I hope we blast his punk ass all over the field someday.

As for the commits- I think it's a pretty standard class for Riley. I don't see any Steven Jacksons or Jaquizz Rodgers, but we will see if this class can produce some ballers. On defense, Riley pulled in some big d-lineman. According to the chart below, they might be able to run too.
