Paris Bostick has committed to Ducks. Was originally a safety at Georgia, but with Grantham going to Louisville he didn't fit well with Pruit. Went to Santa Monica JC for a year and DP visited him. With Folau going on his 2 year mission, a JUCO LB, think we have a shot at Houston? Houston could be the immediate contributor or Redshirt, Folau will be back in 2 years, and Bostick is sticking around for three. That's three spots out of five for our class. With Merritt that makes it four. Who would be lucky #5?
Canton got his 5th star back! He, Mack and Payne on the under amour D line was a thing to see, evil trench warfare!
Nothing going on with Mora, no longer taking calls. Apparently the sudden hard up for a DB is because Amako and harrison will be gone soon. current rumor is that Uluave is leaning towards UCLA. Not much news recruiting front outside of Folau and Bostwick. Merritt camp still awfully quiet.
Early indeed. The 2015 class is largely filled, & I don't think the RB win will have much of an affect if any on who UO lands this cycle. Most kids have already decided prior to the game and the few that haven't declared probably already have a real good idea where they're likely headed. Relationships with coaching staffs have been established, visits have been taken, it's all done been done prior however, 2016 & beyond receive a huge bump. Every West Coast prospect knows the Ducks as the elite program. We've already been seeing multiple top prospects committing early, which in my memory has never happened before. Look for that to continue this Spring at a very unfamiliar pace STOMP
For a recap, here is who we are in best graces with: Kirk Merritt Christian Folau. Those two are the locks. The last 3 spots are up for grabs. John Houston is probably our priority target. I can see the staff finally throwing an offer towards Jeff Ulrich to help ease the loss of AA alongside a punter/kicker. Or Daishon Neal comes our way instead.
rivals has Amadi not only as a 4* but in their latest top 250 prospect list... the 7th Duck commit on that list. Though this is the 3rd school he's committed to, it sounds like he's liked Oregon for some time & claims to be shutting his recruiting down. Seems like a great get as they needed a CB in this class, but we'll see on LOI day... http://sports.yahoo.com/oregon/football/recruiting/player-Ugo-Amadi-153352 STOMP
They have been well linked to the Oregon program. Both have spoke well and have tweeted about it quite a bit(Merritt especially). Did not see Ugo coming. Also, let's burn Iman Marshall's OF. We all know he's going to USC. Quit the charade. Let's focus on Folau, Merritt, etc. Also, since Kenny Hill is transfering to TCU, Murray is all set to go to TAMU.
Oregon makes players come see the campus and such before they commit, did I miss Ugo coming out here?
You are not missing anything, same with bostick. Apparently our OV restrictions are forcing us to change some of our recruiting philosophies. .. reguardless of what some werr thinking.
how little we're in the know about the inner workings of Duck recruiting is something I've been pointing out for some time now. The rivals article I read featured a lot of quotes from Ugo. He hasn't been to the campus but is scheduled to visit soon. I'm not aware of the program changing it's no visit no commitable offer policy, but it may have My guess is that he's been extended an offer thats contingent on him visiting. That if he doesn't come, they won't send out the required paperwork. In the meantime a prospect can say whatever they'd like to say while the program is prohibited from saying anything about individual prospects. STOMP
both Folau & Merritt have already visited. They've extra OVs and I'm going to go ahead and trust that the coaches have a clue about how to best use them. Why did they ever trip DAT when we all knew he was going to USC? STOMP
This kid seems to be quoting just about any school with a top 20 pulse! Meaning Amadi, TAMU still thinks they are in the mix for him and maybe they still are. Who knows....
As for Iman, he seems like a smart kid and one that could play here day 1. That said I think he's drunk the Sark 7 Kool-Aid and believes that a stable full of 5 stars means instant championship. When he's playing in the Tabasco Bowl in his Jr. year he might think better about Fighting On! Perhaps he should call Woods, Lee, Cravens, McQuay, Barkley and Agholor for a reference point!
Ugo knows... http://www.oregonlive.com/recruiting/index.ssf/2015/01/ugo_amadi_4-star_cornerback_si.html STOMP
