LOL... That's ridiculous. He was a MAJOR guy for CU in recruiting, a 4* beast that continues to improve and move up the rankings. Not being able to keep him in state stings and losing him to the Quacks and the former CU coaching staff there sucks!

I think if you look around, might be on TOS, many think he is a very underwhelming football player.
If he had wanted to commit to CU i'm sure they wouldn't have hesitated to take him but I think calling him a 4* beast is overstating things a bit .
He was fairly clear from early on that he was looking to go out of state.
It also doesn't help that Mullen Head Coach Tom Thenell hasn't done much to hide the grudge he holds against CU. He was a very successful HS QB in Colorado and wanted to go to CU. CU gave him courtesy attention but in the end didn't take him. It didn't matter that not other major programs did either he was mad at CU.
He ended up at CSU where his anger at CU was fed and cultivated. Since then he has developed into a successful HS coach in Colorado at a couple different schools. He has tried to at times pretend like he is past the anger but CU has very little luck with his kids.
Had he been moving up the rankings? Appeared a few if his bigger offers had moved away.

Thought Jim Leavitt couldn't recruit
Like bringing up the recruiting chops of Jim Leavitt? Me too. Jackson was never coming here from the beginning. As long as Thenell is at Mullen, players will be funneled elsewhere.

It's not his strong point. As you maybe could tell from his time here? Maybe the fact he couldn't flip any of CU's recruits from here? This commit has very little to do with Leavitt and a lot more to do with the HC at Mullen. Like in previous posts it has been pointed out what Mullen's coach feels toward CU. Would have loved to see Adrian Jackson at CU but that's not going to happen so good luck to him and let's move on.
The Ducks are assembling a hell of a 2018 class.
Hey nice draft this year BTW.

Yea maybe, but followed Leavitt to a Oregon. Awful.
You seem easily bothered. This kid is an unmotivated tweener. Leavitt or whoever is coaching there next year can have him.

Great point. These defensive players might never play in a game with Leavitt as their DC. Wonder if they realize that
Are you making a claim that the players are being paid illegally to go to UO?
No I just said that Uncle Phil is opening up the checkbook, how it is distributed is up for determination.
We know that Oregon would never use money to try to get an advantage.

No, they're legally paid. In a strikingly creative mock-up of the "Junior Year Abroad" concept at some schools, Duck ballers are given Associate Manager positions in Nike's Thai sweatshops for the summer after their freshman year(s).
Stop.
You don't think Phil is throwing money at Duck football? They are paying a DC more than he would make as a HC at a lot of G5 schools. Money isn't an object, he wants to win. How far he/they go with that is a legitimate question.
In a recruiting thread? Absolutely not.
Even in a regular thread, this line of posts would come off as bitter and petty.
