    Royce Freeman is a Duck. Power back in the LGB mold, and already has NFL size. Ran a 4.58 at The Opening, which is nice for a HS back of his size.

    If Royce has a similar year to his JR. season, he'll be a consensus 5* back. He's a lot like Tyner, except not as fast on the top end, yet playing against much better competition. His lower body is massive, just like LGB was.

    So, on the ESPN link to Freeman I provided, can somebody tell me how a guy with an ESPN microphone and the head of "WeAreSC.com" is allowed to go up to USC targets and ask them about USC? How is this possible? Isn't that the definition of a booster?

    I can see this happening:

    Marshall-Tyner. 1-2 Punch.

    Marshall-Tyner-Kani/Any TZR we get. Freeman can redshirt.

    Tyner-Freeman/Kani-TZR.

    Speaking of, how is our progress on the TZRs? Anyone got us high?

    Tony James out of Florida is the main target. UO is the only school he's set an OV for this fall.

    btw... here's Royce doing his thing last year. He's purported to be a high character guy who carries a 3.8 GPA

    in a recent rivals interview, Adoree Jackson stated that Oregon is in his 12 favorites siting a love of their mix of top football and track programs. Prior he's said he wants to play offense and would seem to project at TZR

    Splendid, although watch out for Florida, Michigan, Under Stanford Control, UCLA, and ND. Also, that list doesn't have Oregon on it ._.

    the threat of sanctions going away and The Opening just happened... probably didn't hurt that Mahalak was the QB of Adoree's squad

    look for his profile to be updated soon as this info was relayed within the past 24 hours via rivals main West Coast guy

    Did he enjoy playing with Mahalak at all then?

    Hopefully with Freeman committing, some of our targets will commit soon.

    To shine some light on what sort of physical prospect the new RB commit Freeman is compare his SPARQ testing results at The Opening to rivals #1 ranked RB (who just happens to be in the SE where rivals is based).

    Freeman - Leonard Fournette

    height 5'11.5 - 6'1
    weight 227 - 225
    40 yard dash 4.58 - decided against releasing the results publicly... or, he didn't like his time
    shuttle 4.07 (top time for RBs) - 4.30
    medicine ball 39' - 38.5'
    vertical jump 33.6" - 29.9"

    so they're about the same sized freight train, but Freeman was clearly faster & more athletic. Of course combine type measurements aren't everything...

    Seems like Tony James is the Primary Tazer target and he set up his official for Oregon. Ballage out of Colorado would possibly be a target if we don't get or drift away from James.

    USC and A&M also going after Hampton now.

    Tui is probably more of an edge DT. We need a NT behind Balducci. Hampton can be that guy.

    Glad to hear about TJ. Ballage?

    And here they come out of the woodwork

    based on what? Certainly he's already got the size of a recent stud Duck NT who is now in the NFL. Heck, Balducci was playing HS DE and listed 10 pounds lighter then Talia is when he gave his verbal. I don't know where Oregon projects TT
