6th ranked WR in the nation according to Rivals. Announced during the UA All America game, but seemed an Oregon lean for a while. from Rivals "Very dangerous in the open field because of superior change of direction. He is used to touching the ball in crucial situations. His versatility will allow him to possibly return kicks, and work out of the wildcat formation at the next level."

[Wheels]

thats most of what I can do while at work now. I'll try and get vids and pics added for each one sometime. I also might take 40 times out as I just noticed on Mariota for example. Scout has his 40 as 4.4 and Rivals has it as 4.7

 

[THE HCP]

Are those in order of ranking?

 

[THE HCP]

Nevermind.

 

[Wheels]

Are those in order of ranking?

yes and no. No official ranking. But I will be putting the "higher profile" recruits up higher yes.

 

[Wheels]

Nevermind.

duely noted .

 

[Da_O]

Somebody on the ESPN boards said he's friends with Devon Blackmon and he says Oregon is his favorite right now. You can also see him wearing Oregon gear on his facebook.

George Farmer and Anthony Wallace also say Oregon is their favorite after their UCLA visit.

 

[Natebishop3]

I approve of this thread.

 

[Da_O]

Here is a great site to hear about new recruiting information without having to pay for everything.

Oregon.247sports.com

There are articles you have to pay for, but it gives you an idea who Oregon is trying to recruit.

 

[Natebishop3]

Wheels could you break it down by "committed" and "on the radar" or something like that. Maybe rate them according to how interested they are in Oregon. It's nice to be able to see who they already have signed, who they're recruiting, and who actually likes them.

will do. That might take a while as you can see on Oregon's scout page for "prospects" they have a crapload of 4* talent interested, and some 5* as well. But I'll try and put it together asap.

 

[Wheels]

I think it might be best to rank the prospects who are looking at Oregon by * Rating. When I search by "interest level" it mixes the 2* and 5* and 3*'s in random orders which could get confusing.

 

[Natebishop3]

Might want to include height and weight. Thanks for all the info man. Very helpful.

 

[Wheels]

Might want to include height and weight. Thanks for all the info man. Very helpful.

yeah its a work in progress. I might actually end up breaking down the Prospects by interest of High, Medium, and Low. And then ranking them by Stars inside each Interest Level. Will take more time though, so be patient with me guys n gals

 

[Wheels]

thats it for the High interest guys for now. I'm taking a break lol. Any ideas or suggestions, feel free to leave them here!

edit: I'm actually gonna pass on adding the people who havent had Scholarships offered to them.. unless they are some 4* or 5* kids who are just knocking down Oregon's door which isnt likely lol.

 

[Da_O]

If you wouldn't mind for when the next time you're on. You don't have to just an idea.

If maybe you could put the other recruiting pages below each recruit as well. Like ESPN and Rivals for example as well as Scouts.

Personally each service is different but it's nice to see information and how they evaluate each player from their recruiting service.

You can see Oregon's ESPN recruiting page here
http://insider.espn.go.com/college-...tball/recruiting/school?id=2483&_slug_=oregon

Both Rivals and ESPN for example have George Farmer as one of the best recruits in the nation and as a five star recruit, while Scout only has him at a 4 star.

Will def do. I like using all 3 sites as well. I just used Scout first cause it has the "prospects" page and I cant seem to find one on Rivals where it filters by team. It will take some time but yes I will be adding that as well. Thanks for the input!

 

[Wheels]

WOW!!! I never once have seen that ESPN page where it says "considering" thanks for that as well friend!

Repped!

 

[Wheels]

And the list isnt done dont worry. There are still about 15 more "Med" interest people with Scholarship offers to do. Just trying to put something together quick and then add more detail after.

 

[Natebishop3]

Great work Wheels. I really appreciate it.

 

[MrJayremmie]

Looks sick!

 

[Wheels]

Great work Wheels. I really appreciate it.

np! This would be much easier though if the Ducks didnt have so many noteworthy kids interested in them!

 

[Entity]

np! This would be much easier though if the Ducks didnt have so many noteworthy kids interested in them!

I know! It's so annoying.

 

[Wheels]

I know! It's so annoying.

truth.

http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindducksbeat/2010/10/recruit_tracker_oregon_duck_fo_5.html

Nice. The Sumler video is pretty impressive. His QB can really air it out though. Wonder who that guy is...

 

[Natebishop3]

Jerrard Randal has star written all over him. That guy can run. Reminds me of Dixon a little bit. He also can throw bullets.

 

[Wheels]

thanks for those vids Mick. I'll try and add them to the Original Post soon. Sorry havent been able to work on this guys. Blazers have taken over my last two nights lol

 

[Da_O]

http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindducksbeat/2010/10/recruit_tracker_oregon_duck_fo_5.html

I think Garrick is going to be a monster. Hopefully he can get his knee recovered.

 

[STOMP]

nice vid on Oregon's recruiting efforts from ESPN

[video]

btw... Tom Luginbill had one thing wrong, Oregon has two verbals this year from in state
