pulling a fast top LB out of the heart of SEC country would be amazing. He's recovering from a torn ACL and is supposed to have Bama leading. Love his highlights! [video=youtube;icsmxAQfFhQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icsmxAQfFhQ[/video] STOMP
Re: 2012 Commits and Recruiting News Yes. Are you being sarcastic? It's not just JH but the whole DT staff is really good. I remember B. Oliver was probably the first person to break the DeAnthony Thomas story and Hopkins predicted correctly that Cottrell and Castro would commit after the ASU game well before I seen most sources say so. He also said he doubted Thomas would play against Colorado but your source said otherwise. So yes he has been right.
Re: 2012 Commits and Recruiting News Apparently Coach Campbell, Azzinarro, Frost and others spoke with Armstead today and apparently things went real well.
Re: 2012 Commits and Recruiting News saw this on DT fwiw http://oregon.247sports.com/Board/45/bafaro-5137098/1
Re: 2012 Commits and Recruiting News now from Toni Di Francisco http://twitter.com/#!/TonyDiFrancisco
Re: 2012 Commits and Recruiting News and now Rivals site has him listed as a Verbal. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Brett-Bafaro-114889 I'll still wait to post it on OP in case something was relayed wrong. I'm still a little skeptical as originally the announcement was for tonight. But as of now looks like Hopkins isnt a total dipwit afterall
Re: 2012 Commits and Recruiting News and now Bafaro has confirmed it to Hopkins. http://oregon.247sports.com/Board/45/Bafaro-Im-excited-to-be-a-Duck-5137236/1 updating OP
Re: 2012 Commits and Recruiting News and yes this class is miles ahead of where we normally are at this time of year. And our staff are normally very strong finishers. Could be a fun first Wednesday in Feb!
Re: 2012 Commits and Recruiting News 4* Rivals and 3* Grade 79 on ESPN which explains grade like this Not sure what part of 79 he falls under though http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=6635735
Re: 2012 Commits and Recruiting News also "traits" listed by ESPN are "Inside Run Support- (shredding, strength at point of attack)" "Tackling" and "Coverage Skills" The inside Run support intrigues me.
Re: 2012 Commits and Recruiting News 28th best at his position in the country is good. I just think Oregon should start getting more top tier kids.
Re: 2012 Commits and Recruiting News that will come. Most of these top rated kids arent committed by now. They can afford to wait and be picky cause kids of their caliber always have a spot open where they choose to go. Lyerla for example didnt commit until January. If kids like Bafaro are the lower end of our classes then we are going to be very very good for a long time. We are way ahead of where we are normally at this time of year.
4* is a tier better then they've historically landed. Only one LB on the current roster was rated a *4 by rivals (Anthony Wallace). Ekanem and Kwon are still scheduled for OVs STOMP
Re: 2012 Commits and Recruiting News holy crap I didnt realize that about all the LB's on our roster.
