Hey guys check this out. http://twitter.com/#!/EddieVanderdoes/status/163777360192208896 The guy in that picture is 2013 DT Eddie Vanderdoes. He's going to be one of the top interior lineman in the country. Definitely a 4 star if not a 5 star. I've heard we have the inside track for him.
I just checked out his Rivals page, why isn't he ranked for Rivals. I do hope he can go to ORegon though, we would be set defensively(only issue I think would be corners but I trust in Chip's ability to handle that). And our offense will be steam rolling over anyone, as usual. I just hope Bennett or Mariota can bring it to the table next season
Rivals hasn't started the ranking process for next years class yet. They did an article though saying who the five stars were, and Thomas Tyner was one of them. Robert Nkemdiche also has us in his list. Here's a good list on where a lot of kids will rank next year. http://247sports.com/Recruit/Top-247/2013
2 things: 1) There is a rumor that Shaq drove to UW and is stopping in Eugene on the drive back. I HIGLHY doubt it, but if anyone hears something reliable post it. My bet is he flew. That's a terrible drive, for those of us who have done it! 2) This could be funnier, but it's not bad. I think some Cal fans are having a good time doing this. My bet is it has UW fans feeling a little more bitter! https://twitter.com/not_coach_lupoi MJA
Look how tall Buckner looks in this video compared to the kid's he's playing. [video=youtube;fZZFlauu-w8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZZFlauu-w8&feature=related[/video]
Even a one-year bowl ban isn't a big deal, though I'll be shocked if that happens. Armstead just may be the next Julius Peppers at DE. He'll be playing next fall, no doubt about it, and he'll get to learn DE from Dion Jordan. Oregon is on the cutting edge of yet another new facet of football; the tall D-line.
If I wasn't 5-11 and 230 I'd play ay my JC at DE, but taller guys are more better for the position. But yeah, ORegon's D will become an unmovable object come a season or 2
Check this one out... eDuckCCourtney Chris Courtney 2013 Concord (CA) De La Salle 5* LB Michael Hutchings. RT @CaliHutch_17: Armstead to the duckies... I like it Well Mr. Hutchings, might I suggest you join him??? MJA
Man this thread has gotten long. I went through and read through the first 30 or so pages and it's crazy how the year has gone so far. After going through it the one thing that caught my attention was how many recruits we actually turned away. Kwon Alexander, Faith Ekakitie, Randy Uzoma, and Aziz Shittu (Didn't give him an offer after a visit). One of those guys (sans Uzoma) would have been the cornerstone of our entire class in year's past, crazy. Also this quote from a story I posted a while back was interesting.
Someone owes me a turd sandwich. I had a good feeling it was great news for Oregon when Tosh jumped ship. I'm watching video after video of Shaq right now. He'd be an unbelieveable get. Chip needs to pull off the double whammy and leave UW with a goose egg.
Armstead just swallows guys up on O-Line. He could do great things setting up big runs for D'Anthony.
I realize that. I'm just talking about what he could do as an Offensive Lineman. We need defense more though. Armstead's SEC good on the defensive side as well.
I get the feeling that his defense is being underrated because he was so good as an offensive lineman. I think he'll open some eyes. I'm a little wary of him playing hoops though. I realize that was a per-requisite for him, but I don't want to see the guy overextend himself or get injured playing on some shitty basketball team.
rumors that Chance Allen 3* Receiver from TX currently committed to Oklahoma St, and Bralon Addison 4* Receiver from TX, currently committed to aTm are possibly next.
