I think they'd like that guy to be Dickey who arrived at the program last year as one of their highest rated recruits but injured from his Senior season. Because of that he missed all of fall camp and Redshirted but is expected to be good to go next year. STOMP
Oregon mostly getting done what was expected except for flipping McClellan their way. Some concern about eh massive OT from Alabama, JacQawn McCoy. Prime was trying to get him to flip to Colorado also, Kobe Savage, the senior safety from KSU is transferring to Oregon; made it official
I think Dickey will be very good, but I wonder if he is more of a possession-type receiver. Besides Tez, we need a game-breaker that I think McClellan can provide. But until that NLI is received I will be a little nervous.
Prime and Colorado fans will really hate the way he tossed the Colorado hat. That's good. McCoy is 6'8, 365 so it's likely he'll redshirt while the Ducks rebuild & redistribute his mass a bit
I see Dickey and McClellan as more similar then not, though JD is a bit bigger. Neither has the sort of top end speed Tez or Franklin has, but both are more then fast enough, very physical & coordinated athletes. They should be a load both in the pass and running games. The other Duck WR with top end speed is Gary Bryant Jr who has 2 years of eligibility left STOMP
his 40 time has some discrepancies, but I did find this: "He ran a 4.45-second 40-yard time at OSU's camp in 2022 and earned an offer soon after" (That was a year ago)
Bryant showed me some glimpses this year that he can be absolutely electric. Almost reminded me a little bit of DAT the way he can put the jets on in open space
Have you thought about giving some of that extra money to volunteer organization that supplies stuff to Ukrainian soldiers and doesn't take salaries for themselves? https://ukraineaidops.org/
the top end speed critique is both one I've read others express and observed on their HS tapes. They pull away from defenders but don't make it look like they're on an escalator vs defenders on stairs as guys like Bryant did. Again, I'm thrilled to have them both on my Duckies! STOMP
