Free Rivals - Mind of Mike: Breaking a commitment?

RB Dontre Wilson: Long committed to Oregon, Wilson began to re-open his recruiting process once Chip Kelly made his move to the NFL. He took his much-anticipated official visit to Ohio State during the weekend, but returned home without flipping to the Buckeyes, which was a surprise to some. Part of this was likely because Oregon did have a very successful in-home visit right before he made his way to Columbus. Next Wilson will make his way to Stillwater to check out Oklahoma State, but there could also be an unofficial visit to Texas. Usually Urban Meyer gets what he wants, but I think Wilson might have his heart set on Oregon.

Obviously this hasn't been updated to reflect he is visiting Texas this weekend...

It would be nice to get both but I don't want Wilson @ the expense of losing Zeke. They both look like super talented recruits and who am I to say which one will be better than the other. but I really do think Zeke is a good fit in this offense. Very versatile and can give us many different options that teams will have to prepare for down the road.

Desoto High School blue chip football prospect to make decision on Sunday

Posted on January 31, 2013

When Chip Kelly announced that he was resigning as head football coach of the University of Oregon football program to become the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Dontre Wilson de-committed to Oregon.

The Desoto High School (TX) all-purpose running back opened up his recruitment and has trimmed the list to 3-schools: Texas, Ohio State, and Oregon.

According to Rivals.com, Wilson is a 4-start recruit who is the 100th ranked recruit in the country.

I spoke to his high school head coach, Claude Mathis, this afternoon. Mathis said he expects Wilson will choose between the Longhorns, Ohio State, and Oregon on Sunday.

well, seems like he and elliot are doing the same thing...

committed players looking at a new school..

people said if elliot was making a "decision" then it would mean he was flipping to mizzou..but elliot just said, "signing day ceremony" or something to that extent...so people think he is all buckeye...

so....since dontre is "choosing a school" on signing day, does this make it seem like he's flipping

Also, from Alex at 11W:

As Derek mentioned on twitter we're hearing good things coming from the staff regarding their confidence in landing Vonn Bell and Dontre Wilson. Not as much on James Clark though.

Definitely not "in the bag" yet but they feel very good about their positioning with those two. Enjoy the next few days and get excited for Wednesday as we're going to have some great coverage on this site.

Does anyone remember if there were similar comments, maybe from 11W sources, about hearing the same thing a few days before NSD last year? Maybe about either Kyle Dodson or Jamal Marcus? I tried to find something but couldn't.

There were similar reports about the staff's confidence in landing Dorian Johnson from earlier this year. I get the impression that this staff projects confidence in everything they do, so reports like that seem meaningless.
