I am at work and can't check, so could someone tell me how many followers on Twitter Blackmon has?


Also, does it scare anyone else how thin and inexperienced the O line is going to be next year?

With how we rotate O-lineman I am not concerned at all. Almost all of the two deep have significant game experience.

not only does Oregon rotate their subs in a lot, but they've some some of their highest ranked recruits waiting in the wings. From last year Clanton and Rowland were both 4* and they've another two 4*s coming in this next class (Andre Y and Johnstone). The D-Line is where your concern should be

yep although IIRC we have a decent one redshirting in Keanon Lowe. And hopefully (but doubtfull) Diante Jackson comes back. With returning Tuinei and Huff thats a decent Core.

add in Cantu and Dungy to that core

Assuming Curtis White plays DE (he was a 5* according to Scout) who is redshirting this year. But Bair and Rowe gone hurts. Also Heimuli might (probably will) leave on a mission.

your assumption on CW appears to be wrong as he's been all TE during his redshirt year.

hopefully Hamani Stevens will return from his mission (and won't be too out of football shape) and Heimuli won't go on his (like Haloti didn't)

Yeah, Curtis White has been taking snaps in practice at TE and the coaching staff is looking to make him the "guy" after Paulson graduates.

The Ducks have been great at developing players at the TE position(Peele, Wrighster, Rosario, Day, Dickson, Paulson), Curtis White at 6'5" 240 pounds may be the most athletic and physical specimen they've ever had at the position.

That's exciting. I can't wait to see him on the field.
 
I'm looking forward to seeing more Brandon Williams... who is likely to be the starting TE next year

He's a kid. It's not surprising that a kid that age would be that excited about college and playing for the #1 team in the country. Plus, if the Ducks did their job recruiting, he SHOULD be this excited about coming to Oregon.

Lame. He cut off the rest of the quote about him and Devon Blackmon. Otherwise, he seemed like he enjoyed his visit, but he really lit up when he talked about Florida. It seemed like he wasn't super excited about UO though. Not like Blackmon.
 
I guess Farmer's dad has been quoted as saying, "We don't choose a school for athletics, we're going to pick a school according to it's education."

Then I'd say Oregon has a leg up on Florida and Miami. Cal has them all beat. With a name like George, I figured he was a studious fellow.

I hate when parents control their kid's future like that.
 
He did make a point to bring up Oregon's academics as well. Maybe that was for his dad?

Farmer's been pretty much a USC lock from Day 1, so it will be a complete shocker if he ends up anywhere else.
 
an athlete's educational experience at a school is quite a bit different then a normal students. On one hand they've got practice taking large chunks out of their day. On the other they've got special facilities, tutors, etc... assisting them to make best use of the free time they have. While Oregon isn't one of the elite colleges (like Stanford) in the quality of the education for the general population, I'm guessing it's a much more level playing field for the athletes who are serious about their studies

On the Farmer video, I thought he seemed very bright and that he truly enjoyed his experience last weekend. Certainly he's much more reserved then Blackmon and is continuing to play his recruitment cards close to the vest with each of his potential schools. I hope he makes the best decision for his future :)
