“I didn’t know it would’ve been handled so ugly. Respect the decision 100 percent but leaving us clueless was messed up.”
"I’m a little disappointed by it, all of the recruits bought in to something that could’ve been really special. For myself, I am staying committed but I’m going to take a few official visits, I’m not sure where though.”
“It doesn't really influence my pledge. It’s just if the staff leaves but the wait begins.”
“I am still strong at Oregon and recruiting.”
“I would not like to comment on the situation. All I have to say is I wish the best for Coach Taggart and his family. A great coach and even better man. Thank you for all you have done."
