Nice little read up on Addicted To Quack. http://www.addictedtoquack.com/2011/1/12/1930721/projected-2011-oregon-football-roster#storyjump
Whats your Starting Offense and Defense? Here is my best guess: QB- Thomas RB- LaMike WR- Tuinei WR- Huff WR- Lowe/Hoffman/Cantu? (had trouble with this one) TE- Paulson OL- Asper OL- Weems OL- York OL- Clanton OL- Cody Defense: DE- Jordan DT- Heimuli (I pray he stays) DT- Ebert DE- Turner? OLB- Kaddu MLB- Lokembo OLB- Clay DB- Harris S- Pleasant S- Boyett DB- Marcus Davis
yeah it this point its just speculation by them. No idea where French and Lyerla are gonna play. And TE might be difficult with Williams and Paulson there, and White coming off a redshirt. Unless they are gonna move him to DE.
typo alert! Rivals, Scout, & ESPN all have him listed at 220 thats where CL claims they've told him he'll be initially tried, but he's also said that they've told him they might move him elsewhere as we go forward. I expect he'll cut his teeth mostly on special teams next year STOMP
my differing best guesses are in bold I expect they'll again regularly play 25ish guys on D so who makes the 2 deep rotation is a worthy question as well... of course the waters are even muddier on those guesses again, I suggest this great interactive link of the Ducks roster to get a better idea of whats what STOMP
I'm just hoping Vaughn doesnt end up getting my hopes up like Tyrece Gaines did lol. I think Wallace will play and get reps in, I just dont know if I want him starting. Although he could kill it even moreso in Spring and I will gladly change my mind am I getting my hopes to high as I envision a Vontaze Burfict without being a knucklehead?
I don't think those two have much in common coming out of HS. VB was listed 25 pounds heavier and athletically is on a different level from most anyone his size I've ever seen. He also freelances/takes a ton of chances that brings good and bad, while Wallace is supposed to be more of a sound, gap filling, tackling machine STOMP
Register guard article today has Kiko as a projected starter as well. So hopefully that original article was wrong. http://www.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/sports/25767743-41/oregon-ducks-james-thomas-2011.csp
my favorite part of your link... As much as the loss Monday hurt, the 2010 Oregon team set the bar high in all sorts of ways, from the way it won games and piled up points on the field to the way the Ducks handled themselves off the field, setting a team record for players with grade-point averages of 3.0 or above in the fall. combining this tidbit with having every single one of last year's recruiting class qualified and enrolled makes me happy STOMP
the Register Guard's Rob Moseley weighed in with an article on this last week he expands on his reasoning in the comments section of the article STOMP
one more thing to add and that I'm reading on other sites... Hawkins might be at WR next year, with Bennet's RS preserved this year. Could help there, I imagine he could help with the physicality of a DJ Davis. Thoughts?
Somebody help my concerns about our LB next year? And of course our defensive line. Also, our O-Line looks like it will be fine. You guys think that Blackmon/Sumler will redshirt? They would be a killer duo even as True Frosh, imo.
