Opponent attrition: Quacker edition - fullmetal - 02-05-2013
Ohio State's head coach Urban Meyer steals 4-star RB Dontre Wilson from the Ducks, who cited Chip Kelly's departure as his primary reason for decommitting. But Oregon still has gas in the tank.
Quote:Losing Wilson is certainly a blow for Oregon, but they still have five-star local Thomas Tyner (Beaverton, Ore.) The new primary goal for coach Mark Helfrich and his staff is to retain twin San Diego athletes Tyree and Tyrell Robinson, who admitted they started to look elsewhere once Kelly left.

Supposedly the kicker was Chip being same old Chipster - Redrum - 02-05-2013
According to reports, one thing that helped Wilson decide to decommit was Chip Kelly. Not his departure for the Philadelphia Eagles per se. Kelly had already been in negotiations with the Iggles when he took his official in-home visit with Wilson. According to Wilson family, during the visit the Chipster didn't mention anything about his serious engagement with the Iggles or that he was considering leaving Oregon. The next day Chipster's hiring by the Iggles was announced. Thing like that tends to really sting, although it might be just the fact of Kelly leaving that made Wilson receptive to Ohio St. and Meyer.

Because if there's any coach in the whole wide world whose name is a byword for honesty, it's Urban Meyer.

I really hope the Buckeyes have a miserable season next year.

I hope that Ohio has a miserable season every year.

What do you have against the Ohio Bobcats, Spiny? You don't like Frank Solich?
