Pac-12 Recruiting Update: What a day!

Peter71 · Jun 22, 2016

It was a huge day for the Pac-12 in recruiting yesterday, but probably for no one more than the Beavers. Right now, the current P12 recruiting rankings are:

Arizona
Washington
USC
Cal
Colorado
Stanford
Oregon State
Arizona State
Washington State
Oregon
UCLA
Utah

While it is obviously still early, Oregon state is making some waves recently, and making the most of their camp circuit. Pulling in 3 yesterday was a big haul and in terms of filling needs, was huge. We lose 4 DB's and 5 RB in the next two years. So these guys, who will be redshirt freshmen that year, will be huge assets.

By team, here was yesterday's action (as well as any that happens today before I get through the teams):

Cal:
7 Commits

Chase Garbers, QB (3*, 5.7 RR) - Newport Beach, CA

NOTES:
Garbers is their Goff. A big (6'3, 210) strong armed QB that fits their system. The Corona Del Mar signal caller is one of those uber accurate (69% Completion Percentage) guys who can make NFL level throws. A good pick-up for what Dykes likes to do.

******

Colorado:
7 Commits

Tyler Lytle, QB (3*, 5.6 RR) - Anaheim, CA

NOTES:
Beaver offer holder Lytle saw his recruitment blow up a little bit at the beginning of Spring and has shown well in the camp circuit. He is a dual threat guy with decent speed and a solid arm. I think he is a little underrated, but I don't think he is a 4* guy. I am not sure how much punishment he can take (6'5", 205lbs) which may be an issue in Colorado. But on paper Colorado got a solid prospect and one of the big names on the West Coast.

*******

OREGON FREAKING STATE:
9 Commits

Isaiah Miller, RB (3*, 5.5 RR) - Baldwin, FL
Justin Gardner, DB (NR) - Snellville, GA
Kaleb Hayes, DB (2*, 5.5) - San Bernardino, CA

NOTES:
The Beavers got a huge haul last night getting 3 players of need and making the most of their camp circuit. Miller is a great running back prospect and Hayes is a fast and electric player whose film is pretty impressive as QB for his San Gorgonio High School football team. To me the biggest win is what I mentioned before. These are fast, athletic players that fill needs OSU has for the future. Recruiting is about tomorrow, not today and when you see that in two years you are going to basically decimate your position group with graduation getting the numbers you need is imperative. These guys fit the bill for sure!

*******

MISC:

4* LB Sampson Niu is announcing his commitment this morning on some radio station. It is down to USC and the toilet seats (according to writers that stalk high school boys) so it will have P12 implications. Obviously I am rooting for USC to get his services, but I know that in retaliation, they will offer a bunch of our commits. Because they are worthless and probably the plain worst place on the planet.

They are so bad they found a cure for Herpes. It hated it there so much it just left.
While the NCAA flexed their stupid muscles on the satellite camp for about eight minutes, you can see the success and value these camps have in our own conference. Oregon State has managed to get 3 commits from them, and probably more along the way. The three guys that committed may not have gotten this type of opportunity without the camps. This is a huge deal and the reason they are a good thing! And Utah, Arizona and ASU should be agreeing as well as they have also had success this same way. Even the Valtrex of the P12 has seen their camps help them coerce and brainwash unsuspecting athletes on their circuit as Idaho's Colson Yankoff can attest. (Seriously, the ducks are the gift that keeps giving in terms of comedy)

TLDR: Camp's are awesome. Nick Saban is a tool. oregon should be on dateline's "To Catch A Predator"
