    Are Farmer and Lee a package deal? I heard they want to play basketball, but I don't know if Altman has interest.

    I think Lyerla should be ours. It would be a travesty if he went out of state.

    I've read where a few people compare Farmer to Dez Bryant.

    He says if he can get 700 to a 1000 followers on his twitter page he will sign the letter of intent right now.

    So if you're not following him yet, you should get on it. :lol:

    how's this one?

    "It was awesome," Blackmon said. "I had a great trip, it was one of the best experiences of my life. Everything stood out there; it's impossible to pick one or two things that I loved because basically, the whole visit was a highlight for me."

    "The people and the fans are incredible. I was signing autographs and everyone knew who I was. I loved the city of Eugene and how it's a cool college town. I bonded really well with the players and recruits and of course that offense is so explosive, I think it would be a great fit for me."

    "It was one big family there," Blackmon said. "It was cool to hang out with George Farmer and the other guys from Serra, Jason Gibson and Marqise Lee. We all talked about going to school together and Oregon is very high on all of our lists right now."


    here's another one from ESPN on Lee

    "The trip to Oregon was incredible," Lee said. "I didn't get to spend as much time there as I did at Cal since we flew up Saturday morning instead of Friday night but I still had a great time. I mean, what's not to like about Oregon right now. They have a great football team, the fan support is incredible, Nike is really involved, the players and coaches are good guys and the facilities and campus life is incredible."

    here is the part that stood out to me about Wallace the 5 * MLB

    "I like USC a lot, they have a lot of tradition and are a linebacker U school. The only thing I didn’t like is how they are in trouble and can’t play in bowl games and stuff. They are up there for me but Oregon is still my top school.”

    thanks for that info. I really hope that this staff can convince a package deal of Farmer, Gibson, and Lee to come here. I'm also hoping that somehow Moala ends up being a signing day surprise like Heimuli was.

    With so many of our receivers leaving after this season, we need to bring in some guys.

    I am at work and can't check, so could someone tell me how many followers on Twitter Blackmon has?


    Also, does it scare anyone else how thin and inexperienced the O line is going to be next year?

    looks like 614. Not sure how many from Oregon though

    It scares me for sure. Last time we broke in a new line with a high profile game did not end up well. Hopefully though these guys will be ready with how many see good action in games, with how many people are rotated in and out so often.

    yep although IIRC we have a decent one redshirting in Keanon Lowe. And hopefully (but doubtfull) Diante Jackson comes back. With returning Tuinei and Huff thats a decent Core. Plus I think Barner will line up more as a WR with Seastrunk coming in, and you wanna get him some touches. I also think I see Dontae Williams taking Remene's roll this year.

    Tuinei, Huff (All world WR, IMO), Sumler, Blackmon (hopefully) is a GREAT 4 deep, IMO. Only thing I worry about on Offense (considering how good QB and RB is) is the O-Line.

    How is our D looking? (including top recruits that could see time)

    Crap didnt even think about Sumler for next year. Although he could Redshirt.
    Our D-line will be young. Assuming Curtis White plays DE (he was a 5* according to Scout) who is redshirting this year. But Bair and Rowe gone hurts. Also Heimuli might (probably will) leave on a mission. I think it is key to get some big bodies for the trenches.
