2013 FOOTBALL Commits and Recruiting News

another nice factor with Walker is that he graduates early from his JC this month... so he'll have extra time to get up to speed/familiar

highlights!

What's the news on Zach Cunningham? This kid looks like Dion Jordan!

 

Has interest wants to visit, but still distance is a factor. Our staff is wonky as it is. With the Walker commit we have 1 maybe 2 more spots for LB.

With all that interest from 4 star LB's I have to hope they saw a powerhouse in walker.

 

They may see a Casey Matthews in this juco lb. Let's hope!

 

Looks like someone did some bitching on 247 and got Walker moved up from 150th ranked OLB to the 120th or so ranked OLB. 79 to and 82 overall.

 

Quinton Powell decommited from Florida. Still is interested in the Gators but has the U, USC, and the Ducks on his high note. Now if we can fly over an offer...

Tweet today from Leon McQuay's dad~

Chip Kelly just left home visit a intresting man he is . Just handled my mom and wife's questions like a pro 2 hours worth !

That a good thing or a bad thing?

 

first of all it was surprising to find out that Leon's Dad is yoda... pretty cool for LMc lll. It strikes me that Max Redfield relayed Oregon told him they were full at his spot (Safety/WR) while apparently they're still very much after McQuay. I don't know how Chip being across the country in a top rated recruit's home could be a bad thing... sounds like the family was charmed while having their concerns answered

...so whats the chances that McQuay is the only recruit he's checking in on in Florida?

If Chips in Florida you know he's sitting down with big evil Bostwick! Bama now has Bostwick on their radar too, not shocking! Give me those two players and a LB and I'm happy! We are loaded on offense, just bring the D!!

I've got to wonder what turned Oregon off on Redfield?! Something big enough where they told him to DUCK OFF! You don't hand a 5 star to ND or USC for that matter if you have a chance unless his personality sucked!

 

clearly MR is physically talented enough to warrant Duck interest as he's pretty unanimously thought of as an elite prospect. They are currently recruiting kids who are verbally committed elsewhere, so his potential status as a heavy lean one way or another wouldn't factor in if everything else was a go. Unless grades/qualifying turns out to be the issue, that seems only to leave something in his personal makeup (prima donna? work ethic? etc..) being a deal breaker. Thats a little harsh to say publicly about a 17 year old, so they're leaking it out that it was the heavy lean to ND thing.

I'll mention again Oregon's future at Safety is pretty secure already as they've 5 solid prospects combined in this 2013 and the previous class. They're still after a few more guys at Safety/WR who obviously they think highly of. Rumors are they're feeling so secure there that they tried to convince 4* WR Devon Allen to accept a track scholarship and walk on to the Football team.

You can't do that in terms of scholarship. If a player is a multi-sport athlete and football is one of them, they have to use a football scholarship. The only other option is to have Allen pay his own way, but you can't hide football players on other scholarships. That is an NCAA rule.

 

Etuale off the board now.

 

What does that mean?

 

Going to commit to hawaii, looks like probably didn't make SAT scores to get committed to Oregon.

 

Bostwick's dad says UO not in final 3 and that he's a near lock to play at Miami with his cousin

Sina to Cal... so Another DL target gone.

So unless we have some secret DL target, Hooper is the only one left. And no real DT/NT that I thought we would need.

 

define need... Oregon loses only Isaac Remington from their interior D-Line this year and Stetzon Bair is Redshirting. Not including the Drop End spot that Jordan currently mans and barring unforeseen attrition, they've 9 solid guys for the 3 other spots (Hart, AA, Buckner, Keliikipi, Heimuli, Balducci, Ebert, Bair, Kamp). I would love to see them add another big body this cycle to Redshirt and be better prepared to replace the bolded Seniors to be.

To me anyway, their quality depth/lack of early PT is probably factoring heavily as to why kids have been committing elsewhere. That doesn't look like it will be the case in the next cycle.

Why didn't you say so :V I wouldn't have complained that much.
