you really think Cowart is going to be dropping into coverage 70% of the time like Dion did and Washington does? He's stated part of the reason he's interested in Oregon is that they know how to beef him up for the NFL... Big Buck is one of many examples of this. Last summer between his HS Jr & Sr years, Byron was already 15 lbs heavier then Dion ever was at UO & about the same weight DeForest was when he played the other DE spot as a College Freshman... the same position he's still playing today that you're now calling a DT. I find it very curious how you're inflating Buckner's weight over what the school's official weight for him is (290). Remember just a month back when with zero evidence to point to you were insisting it's the coaches thats are "always" inflating players weights so as to game the opponent? That the coaches are always lying trying to get others to believe their DLine is bigger then they are If Oregon is lucky enough to land Cowart's commitment & at the same time doesn't fire it's DC & DL coach and install a completely new system as you've been constantly calling for, I'll wager whatever that he's a hand on the ground Down Lineman playing the same spots DeForest and Arik currently flip flop on. After all, thats where he's stated Aiken & Pellum have been recruiting him for. Regardless of where he commits, I expect he'll weigh North of what "Big Buck" was listed his Freshman year (265). STOMP
I don't think Cowart and Buck have the same body frame at all is what I'm saying. Cowart with 30 pounds may not be the same player Buckner is with the same amount of weight added. Cowart is not a Sapp, Fairley, Suh type of frame although he's their height at the position you suggest he wants to play. Cowart's greatest weapon is his edge quickness to get into the backfield. His frame and size are both average to undersized even for a DE. 5 on frame and 6 on size. I have serious doubts that massive weight gains for this young man might in fact hurt his ability he's clearly dominating in HS now with. That's why I suggested a DDE/LB would be great for his strength set. I seriously doubt that if he goes to BAMA, FSU or Florida he'll even see a DT position with his name on it. They'll say son "you may want to be a DT but your frame reads DE and that's where ya need to be!" I could be wrong but when he went up against Martez Ivey head to head and not off the edge, Ivey shut him down. They'll have a line of Ivey's at the next level at most SEC schools and a few Pac schools too!
CeCe to Ole miss maybe, Cowart looking like Bama is a major player as he cools on Florida (Oregon never being a serious player)
Great, more Ole miss paying players to come by. And damnit Bama has too many pash rushers. Doens't he realize that?
same amount of added weight? Buckner's Sr year of HS he was listed at 230 lbs. while Cowart was measured at 258 prior to his Senior year even starting. lets at least agree on what reality is... facts aren't debatable. There is nothing the "same" about Byron adding 30 pounds compared to DB adding 60 STOMP
Hawaiian DT Canton Kaumatule names Oregon as a co-leader with USC. He'll be on an OV at the Stanford game and wants to major in Sports Marketing. http://www.oregonlive.com/recruitin...tule_under_armour.html#incart_related_stories STOMP
I think it's possible we could grab Green, Manu and Kaumatale.... That would be a huge win for this defensive staff!
We're probably not grabbingGreen. Too much into the Sark cool-aid and playing close to his home and family. Manu and Kanton is our best shots
I don't know if it still holds true, but Russell Ude called Oregon his leader at the beginning of the summer. There is a whole a lot to like about that kid. STOMP
Our elite DB targets have pretty much moved on. Slim shot would be it. We've new offers to low 3 star Tyler Phillips and moderate 3 star athlete Javarius Davis. Visits would be for late in the season if they happen.
Yep, more a chance at Tell than Holiday. These offers are more backup's just in case. But Starting inroads now.
read that Georgia DL Russell Ude has cancelled his OV trip for this weekend as part of moving all of his OVs until after his HS season is complete. From the sounds of it Oregon remains one of his top choices. STOMP
According to Davis he's being recruited for offense at RB/Slot. I hadn't heard about a Phillips offer but have long wondered why he's so low rated following such outstanding results in the Sparqs testing [video=youtube;0HqigF2FMak]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HqigF2FMak[/video] I'll be surprised if unlike every other year Oregon doesn't have a few recruiting surprises up it's sleeves to spring on us. Remember, only the recruits relay info about where they're being recruited. Especially the higher rated kids are inundated by calls from the recruiting sites as well as the coaches recruiting them, and it's pretty common for them to shut down that communication. Reading tea leaves, Texas CB Jalen Campbell's OV this weekend has been suspended/pushed back... I wonder why that might be? STOMP
