The fact that it took 4 days for you to come up with that one proves there aren’t many. And, a lot of them are more than a decade ago. We haven’t had much luck lately.

I just got to this thread man! Give me some slack! Ha ha *edit- I wasn’t into a thread regarding us in the playoffs. Seemed wrong. Walk, then run. Then run fast.

Oregon recruited Patrick Herbert (Justin's younger brother) at tight end instead. The Ducks already had Herbert lined up and offered Musgrave one day before Musgrave committed to the Beavs. The two were the 1-2/2-1 best tight ends in Oregon in 2018. Exactly. ? Maybe I misspoke. Oregon already had received a commitment from Patrick Herbert. The Oregon guys I was talking to were saying that Herbert was better than Musgrave anyway, and a couple of the recruiting sites agreed. I cannot speak to why Oregon tried to recruit Musgrave at the last second. Did they realize that they had errored? Did they realize that Oregon State was going to land Musgrave? (Cal was recruiting Musgrave harder than Oregon until the end.) Did Oregon determine that a second tight end might be helpful? I cannot say. I just know that it was between Cal and Oregon State until Oregon tried to swoop in at the end. It was not really what I would call a true Civil War recruiting battle, like for Joe Newton. The last 20 years, though, who is that guy that Oregon and Oregon State were both really in the running for that wound up in Corvallis? I am drawing a blank. At some point in 2001 or just after, recruiting against Oregon went from competitive to next-to-impossible. I keep waiting for that recruiting era to come back, and it just never has.

Oregon would have signed Wheaton but, with the whole Mike Bellotti -> Chip Kelly change decided to announce that both Michael Gray and Robin Pflugard would not be retained after the 2008 season. And Gray and Pflugard (the receivers coach) were the only two guys who had been recruiting Wheaton. Without Gray and Pflugard in Eugene, Wheaton changed his commitment at the last second to Oregon State. Scott Frost famously replaced Pflugard. Nothing that Oregon State did other than keep the coaching staff together between December 2008 and February 2009.

This off topic is a bit ridiculous, but fly is right that the amount of recruits we were landing that had traitor university offers had been increasing. There were 6 in 2023. Chiles, Howard, Piper-Jordan, McCoy, Saez, and Collins. You can argue whether it was really a competition for the recruit, but the amount was increasing. There were 2 in 2024 by the way.
