Apparently some guy on Scout.com named Jake Worthen is saying Thomas Tyner is now leaning toward UW? Any validation on that one? Da_O, can you check at 24/7 on that rumor?
5* 6'5 Texas QB Tyrone Swoopes, rated the 11th best player overall by rivals is claiming an Oregon offer http://espn.go.com/blog/high-school/football/post/_/id/5071/elite-11-watch-texas-qb-tyrone-swoopes [video=youtube;9agCz4UE7xI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9agCz4UE7xI[/video] STOMP
Have not heard that one bit. JHop never answered that question about Rolando btw. Next time he does a questionnaire, I'll ask him sooner. I had to go to work so I don't think he ever saw my question as it was probably a bit late.
I relayed this same quote last fall in the 2012 thread, but now we have a rating to go with the name. When asked who was his #1, 2013 *4 Texas DT Kerrick Huggins said... "Oregon - I'm a Duck fan," he said. "I love the colors and my man Anthony Wallace is up there. He and I have played together for a while and I want to keep it up." today he committed to Texas A&M. I'm still interested... STOMP
Sheryl Swoopes' nephew, if anybody cares. I've known Sheryl for years through basketball circles and family. I've seen some of Tyrone's stuff that his aunt posted on FB.
Texas extended an offer to some Oregon targets today including Kyle Hicks and Dontre Wilson. Wilson had this quote per Max Olson (from ESPN longhorn network) "Texas offered me and have moved up quite a bit.. but Oregon is still my dream offense."
The lightning to Tyner and Carson's Thunder maybe? Although Tyner offers a whole lot of Lightning to go with his Thunder
Obviously Swoopes is athletically gifted. He's built like Vince Young or Terrelle Pryor with that 6'4" 220 pound frame. I'm just not sold on how well of a passer he is. His motion looks odd in the video (but it's hard to see). Not only that but I was looking at his stats for his Junior year and he only passed for 1394 yards, but rushed for 2267. Like Kelly has said we want quarterbacks who can run, not athletes that can pass sometimes ala Masoli. I know he'd be a great get but just saying. I like J.T. Barrett more. [video=youtube;SF5jY8SgETk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF5jY8SgETk[/video] Also look out for Kenny Hill, Troy Williams, Cooper Bateman, and Khari McGee.
Barret and Swoops look great. I'm happy if we get either one, although Barret looks like a better passer. That's not to say that Swoops can't improve as one though

"Dont you realize that Oregon runs it 90% of the time!? Why would you go there as a good WR?!?!" - Lane Kiffin
http://rivals.yahoo.com/footballrecruiting/football/recruiting/player-Troy-Williams-101102 4 star QB Troy Williams I guess, didn't attend USC's junior day. He is a really good player and Justin said this about him today, "He has certainly liked Oregon for a long time. If Oregon offers it's probably a done deal, unless SC offers too, which I think is doubtful, but who knows."
