This gives you a bit of an idea of what these last frantic days are like for both coaches and recruits. One of the things stuck out to me was Kelly's honesty when asked about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers saga:
Also, another interesting tweet from Greg Biggins today:

This gives you a bit of an idea of what these last frantic days are like for both coaches and recruits. One of the things stuck out to me was Kelly's honesty when asked about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers saga:
"He's very witty. I had a good meeting with him. He changed my perspective on Oregon a little more. I asked him about the Tampa Bay Bucs job (that he nearly accepted last weekend). He told me he couldn't guarantee me that he'd be at Oregon my entire career if I went there, but that's ok, because I understand it's part of the job, and when you're successful, other teams will want you as a coach. I'd rather have that than play for a coach who isn't as successful."

Gus Armstead mentioned #Oregon, along with #UCLA were the only 2 schools who didn't neg recruit and that impressed them, fwiw
