Lee somehow loves Kiffin for some reason :/ Also, any word on potential prospects? Like, LBs for instance.
Back and forth rumors on Baker taking an unofficial for Tenn or not. Was going, but canceled then maybe going again. (note his official is set up for later) Back and forth rumors on Quick's official. On, then canceled because we wanted to see his transcripts or new ACT test, then maybe back on. (we'll probably just find out saturday.) Also Unsure if he has an offer or not, I think we may tell him that we have a spot for him if he can get all of his ducks in a row requirements wise but is not quite there yet. Hollins will be there, only a 2/3 star but our coaches are high on him. de/lb target. Jaylen Johnson may also be there. Jaylen Brown will be there (wr target) 247 it switching their plattenberg predictions to oregon, I don't know if that means we are opening up one of our DB targets positionally, or we are taking one more DB than expected, or something turned sour on the McGraw front. Or if they are just dead wrong and misreading their info. Something to keep an eye on.
I'm still hearing Adoree is potentially coming in for Tenn as well. We'll see... McGraw's rivals profile was just updated reflecting his scheduled OV for December 13th, which is during the period after the season and before the bowl games. Sounds like he remains very interested in Oregon STOMP
rumblings that California Athlete John "Juju" Smith is going to take an OV this fall. Hailing from Long Beach, he's been thought to be a USC lean... did something change [video=youtube;3mlUGNYtYPg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mlUGNYtYPg[/video] STOMP
heres a local coverage link on how RB commit Royce is doing http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/sep/14/tp-count-imperial-star-among-all-time-best/ STOMP
We supposedly lead for Berrios even after recent picks of him flashing the U, he only has a Tenn visit left. A lot of people seem to think we may get plattenburg, lots of DB this cycle if we manage to keep springs and Harrisson then get Plattengurg/Baker/McGraw. Jaylen Johnson committed to Boise day after he got back from his oregon visit. Maybe we'll do a bigger push for JUJU then.
Since he's an Oregon commit, he won't get a 5th star. If USC or UCLA can poach him, then he'll move up to the elite level in the rankings.
I have noticed that too. If a recruit goes to USC, Miami, Texas, Alabama, Ohio State they get a fifth star no sweat with Royce's body of work. They choose Oregon and they have to score 10 TD and 600 yards in a game to be considered. Strange? You be the judge!
Easy, star rankers sleep on the east coast and don't want to stay up till midnight to hear about west coast prospects.
Illinois LB Clifton Garrett has named the Ducks in his top 5 and will be setting up an OV probably after the season. He claims LSU as his leader, but I always like Oregon's chances if they get a kid on campus... their closing rate on kids who take OVs has been nearly 50% the last few seasons [video=youtube;oojs94r-99k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oojs94r-99k[/video] STOMP
JUCO RB Tyreek Hill has offers from Bama, Florida State, Oklahoma & USC, but has named Oregon as his favorite despite not yet having a Duck offer STOMP
Mondeaux down to Oregon or Washington, Stanford could be a player if they offer. He obviously hasn't been a lock for awhile, since months have past since his expected commitment.
Set of 2015 offers have come out. Maurice Smitherman (DB), Taj Griffin (RB), Jeffery Holland (LB), Jacob Daniel(DT)
