Wonder what was the deal with Oregon player's tweet?

[OHIO COLONEL]

Now it looks really weird. Did Murray change his mind? Did the guy tweet off a rumor he heard there at Oregon's athletic offices? Just goofing with people? Strange if it really was the Oregon player that tweeted it.

I said it before - kids make comments like that all the time on twitter, and they're not particularly good indicators. Usually it's in the midst of a bunch of noise, so it's just read as "one of the tea leaves", but this time, it was one of 2-3 pieces of "information" the entire week, so people fixated on it.

Like it or not, these kids play a game of deception when it comes to keeping the cat in the bag. They want everybody on the edge of their seat when they finally pull the trigger. A couple of weeks ago, Murray to UK started to really pick up steam. I am sure the Murray camp put out a little disinformation that indicated he was leaning toward Oregon. That is a common practice. I would guess that the Oregon player got wind of this disinformation and really thought he was going to be a Duck. This played out perfectly for Murray. He is now hated by all 7 Oregon fans and is a freaking hero to the millions within BBN.

Maybe he found out he wasn't coming and was making an attempt to limit the viewing audience of his commitment. Just a thought, other than that I would say just a kid being a kid, or it isn't his real twitter account.

Half these kids twitter accounts are not verified yet because they are still just kids in high school, opens up for any kind of fake account.

It sounds like Jamal had a good visit to Oregon so maybe the kid just took it for granted without finding out for sure.

yeah....murray changed his mind last minute. and in that last minute...he had fedex ship him a uk tie and shirt.

think...uk was in great shape for some time. and there is a big reason why.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

I'd say that Murray had a really good visit to Oregon and gave indications he would likely be there in the fall (as a lot of players do on a lot of visits).

Id say this. These are kids. Some recruiter gives them a hard sell on a visit and gets some quasi-commitment from the kid. Then the kid gets off campus and pulls themselves back together.

Id guess this happens quite often

I see what you did there with the Cat in the bag comment. Nice!
