Pagano offered by LSU now. Impressive offer list for a "3*" player. He probably will be much higher come next rankings list.
Hawaii is a challenge for the recruiting services (Scout, DSA, etc...) to cover accurately. I'm sure their budgets are relatively spartan and it probably isn't cost efficient, so I cut them some slack when it comes to rating/projecting the islanders. The Samoan culture produces lots of BIG BOYS though, and what fanbase doesn't crave that? Unlike underpaid reporters, the cost of another plane ticket doesn't seem to stand in the way of Duck coaches going wherever whenever. [crosses fingers]Marcus Mariota starring will open a pipeline[/crosses fingers] STOMP
yup, Wade Keliikipi, Lake Koa-Kai currently, & lots of others in their history. I do think a QB starring on a national stage could help them take things to another level. How about I modify the [crosses fingers] bit with... Marcus Mariota starring will open the recruiting pipeline from the islands even further STOMP
oh yeah I def agree with ya there. Hawaii is a tough one because its hard to get to, its hard to judge competition etc etc.
Texas RB Dontre Wilson has eliminated Texas and is down to UO and OSU. Sorry tlong, thats the OSU adding DW would drag down our all important class star rating even further, so I'm against it... officially STOMP
Yeah, it just might worry me in the sense that Wilson said if not for Distance he would have already comitted to Oregon. Before one was about home, other was about "dream offense" Now its about "Dream Offense" for both. I'm probably just being a negative Nancy lol
Could also be OK State.... It would be hard to get a 5 or 4 star RB to come here knowing that the Mamba will be Jr. and Tyner is coming in the fall! Tough comp!
but I do agree about the tough competition, but I envision a 170lb true freshman RB not named Deanthony would redshirt, putting a year in between him and Tyner, and Mamba would be a SR at the earliest (if he stays) when Wilson touches the field. IMO
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Dontre-Wilson-117626 Kelly has been at Oregon 5 seasons thus far, and all 5 years the Ducks have led the Pac 10/12 in rushing yards. Thats the sort of starring role that attracts top talent. Besides Wilson, Rivals top 250 backs with a Duck offer who I've read saying positive things about UO's chances include Justin Davis, Khalfani Muhammad, Derrick Green & Ryan Green STOMP
no film on him, but this rivals top 250 DE/DT recently told a DSA reporter "If they offered, yeah, I would probably commit" guessing he might have grade issues as it seems odd that a top rated kid has so few offers STOMP
Recent reports suggested Ohio State had moved ahead of Texas and have made this a battle of Buckeyes and Ducks. His father, Don Wilson, spent some time clearing the air on the misunderstanding. "That was taken out of context or misunderstood," Wilson said. "Tre (Dontre) was talking about the offenses in terms of how they fit him. Most can see that Oregon and Ohio State are a little bit ahead in terms of Texas. But at the end of the day, Tre hasn't even visited Ohio State. They have a ton of ground to make up on Oregon and Texas." Tomorrow is the state track championships. The family has shifted focus to track and has football on the back burner for now. "We aren't talking about football right now as much as people probably think," he said. "Tomorrow is a big day and we take track very seriously, probably more serious than a lot of other people do." The nation's No. 107 ranked player will compete in the 4 X 100 and 4 X 200. The current plan is for the 5-foot-10, 175-pound four-star speedster to announce his college decision on May 25. Right now that hasn't changed but it could if a decision is made to visit Ohio State. "Like I said before, Tre hasn't even visited Ohio State, he's not going to commit to a school he's never seen. Urban Meyer is coming really hard but they still have a lot of ground to make up. We will talk about it as a family after track is over this weekend. Right now I think he's pretty likely to go ahead and make his commitment as planned." His father suggested the family will spend ample time evaluating each schools academics, the style of offense and depth chart of each program.
