So my cousins daughter goes to Central Catholic and she's been dating this guy for a while who looks like a helluva football player. I went over for a BBQ a couple weeks ago and he was telling me about some of the offers he was getting. He said everyone from Miami (FL), Alabama, LSU to Oregon. I was kind of wowed, I asked him who he's leaning towards and he said definitely the Ducks. But, that there's a lot of time left in the recruiting process since he's in the 2012 graduating class. The kids physically is just a beast and has that "linebacker neck" that you can kind of decipher if you watch a ton of football. I asked him what his last name was, he told me it was Balducci. I went home and remembered to google him a couple days later. Come to find out he's a 5 star recruit for his class and has tons of great write-ups from everyone; Scout, Rivals, ESPN, Yahoo. This would be a tremendous get if we could land this young guy. I guess he is just a terrorizer at Defensive End and would be a great get. I guess UO and UW are the only schools to officially offer him yet. Here's a couple links to his profiles: http://rivals.yahoo.com/tennessee/football/recruiting/player-Alex-Balducci-112591 http://highschoolsports.oregonlive.com/news/article/2674634249957686472/alex-balducci-recruiting-central-catholic-junior-has-offers-from-uo-uw/ I'll try and keep you updated.
Balducci will probably be the top HS prospect in Oregon for the 2012. Oregon definitely need more depth on the D-line and a kid of this Caliber would go a long way.
Another guy to look out for is his teammate Brennan Scarlett who is a year older. He's a D-Lineman and is a 4 star recruit sought after by most Pac-10 schools.
Yeah he has been keeping recruiting pretty close to the chest but from what I've heard it's pretty much down to USC and us.
I used to play pick up basketball once a week with CC coach Steve Pyne. If you want, I can try and find out where the kids head is?
still new to this mod thing.. is this where I say I can make and sticky a Ducks current commit list with recruiting news?
Gonzaga hasn't had a football team for years. But, I beleive they still have a couple Hall of Famers... BTW, I want Colt Lyerla. That kid looks like a beast.
