The story of the "Seven Samurai" features a village of Japanese farmers who hire seven lone-wolf samurai to defend their crops against a gang of marauding bandits who intend to invade after the harvest.
Now, pay attention: Oregon's football program is the farm village, the Ducks coaching staff are the samurai warriors and Ohio State is playing the role of the bad-guy marauder. Got all that?
I bring this up because in the hours after ex-Ducks coach Chip Kelly announced his intention to leave the farming villa..., rather, the University of Oregon, newly hired coach Mark Helfrich dispatched his entire seven-member coaching staff out as one unit, himself included, making group appearances in front of the Ducks spring recruit commitments. Helfrich did this as the band of maraud..., I mean, Urban Meyer and his Buckeyes staff, descended upon UO's recruiting harvest, salivating like Pavlov's dog.
Urban Meyer is no gentleman, especially when he smells blood. Last year, the Ohio State coach raided Penn State?s class amidst catastrophe. This year, he?s gunning for Oregon in the wake of Chip Kelly?s departure. As soon as the news was announced, Meyer had minions in California unsettling Oregon commits.
Dontre Wilson, a 5-foot-10, 174-pound running back from Texas, committed to Oregon last spring. He now plans to visit Columbus this weekend. Meanwhile, Ohio State celebrated Kelly?s NFL announcement by rushing Buckeyes offensive coordinator Tom Herman to San Diego to visit four-star wide receiver Darren Carrington Jr., another UO recruit. Also in San Diego, Ohio State offered two more critical Oregon commitments, twin basketball/football stars Tyree and Tyrell Robinson, scholarships after the Eagles-Kelly business went public.
For those keeping score, that is every single four-star Oregon commit from outside the state of Oregon. Mark Helfrich?s staff, in response, is reportedly traveling as a seven-man unit termed ?the Magnificent Seven? to shore up commitments and land recruits before Signing Day.
Agree but add in Bell as a 4th if he decides he wants to join. I bet with a group of 4 like that the staff would find a way to fit them in. Doubt that happens though. Getting 3 like you mention is embarrassingly good.southcampus;2296575; said:Give me 1 more OL, 2 of Wilson, Clark, and Smith, and call it a class. Possibly one of the best classes.
