this is whats being relayed by the in the know types on the rivals board as well. We should be expecting some fun this next week STOMP
there are many Duck targets at the Opening but rumors aren't bubbling over anything impending like another commit in the next couple of days. I did read that Jesuit HS's Joey Alfieri has been testing (speed/agility + size up to 233lbs) and playing really well. Hopefully the coaches don't have a character reason as the reason why JA doesn't have a Duck offer yet... love seeing the local kids on the team STOMP
via ESPN, Adoree Jackson relayed that he wants to play offense in college and run track. I'm not sure this passes the sniff test, but rumors are he'll be touring UO this weekend following the Opening. The reason why I'm not so sure this is true is that PSAs who want to visit a college during a paid trip like The Opening have to decline the free airplane tickets and other goodies (hotel etc) and pay their entire way. Regardless ESPN's relaying that he's still got interest in UO and thats great news STOMP
Let's go Oregon Steal him away like we did with DAT. Also, he is also considering Michigan as well. They run a good track program(so I've heard) and he could fit in as a TZR/slot for their pro-style. But yeah, him coming to Oregon? McGraw, Jackson, and Springs will make for a lethal connection. The problem is our depth at CB may scare him away. And we have a Bralon Addison to succeed DAT, not to mention we have Marshall, Tyner, and Benoit.
if he's going to play offense, why would CB depth factor? If he's looking at depth at TZR, it's DAT (who's a Sr. and may declare early) and Addison (who's been playing WR). besides, there is always room at the top... Adoree is special STOMP
DAT isn't a senior. He's a 3rd-year junior, making him draft eligible. Mariota is also draft-eligible after this season, although he'll only be a RS soph.
Ah yes, my mistake. Yeah, DAT will probably declare this year, as he will be the next Tavon Austin(I see the Patriots nabbing him to replace Welker). In this case, it works out. Addison would be the starter, while Adoree will get snaps in. Brilliant. Now all we need to do is tell him that we can use him like DAT, and we can grab him.
has an Oregon offer and is being recruited for the DLine. Has said the Ducks have made it very clear that they want him. He's still checking out his options but seems like UO is a favorite. I read at least one media attendee's impression that HM showed very well at The Opening STOMP
Well that's good to here. Shame we're gonna lose Alfieri though, he seems like a good OLB, but we have Prevot to fill in for that role
Hey man, been browsing a bit due to the Blazer's off season moves. Also, this thread is the best info on Duck recruiting that I can find on the net without paying anything.
Athletes In Darrell Scotts top 5 but most consider him a SCe lock. New interest from Adoree but again unlikely. Tight ends. Bryce dixon prefers warm weather (ucla/USC) I think we are pretty much out with him. Woods will probably commit somewhere prior to visiting Oregon, probably Arizona. Him being committed elsewhere may cause us not to do an Official with him. Goolsby wants one of our reduced officials, but not sure how serious he is. Pierce wants an offer and may commit, but who knows if we'll give him one. Mondeaux better of defense, but I wonder if we strike out and don't offer pierce if we offer him an athelete spot (DE/TE) then pass on taking a true TE this cycle. Expect this next month to be slow, maybe even no commits till Aug 26th when McGraw announces (and even he isn't a 100% lock)
Would like to get Pierce. He's been getting some attention some big name SEC schools, so there is something to like about him, even if making him a Athlete. At this rate, I think McGraw is going to UCLA. My gut is telling me him and Malachi Dupre want to go to UCLA together. Also, if we grab Baker, would he play Safety or as a TZR to replace DAT?
did you know he choose to be roommates with Springs at the Opening? How about that he played with a set of Oregon gloves on or that he's regularly swapping tweets with various Duck recruits? Heck, rivals even had a pic of him flashing an 'O' wherever he wants.... word was he was among the elite of the guys at the Opening. I'm pretty sure he's expressed a preference for D though STOMP
