Either one of these guys + Royce will suffice nicely.

fify :)

at this point it seems the Ducks are the team to beat for the 6' 210lb Freeman (6'2 207lb Joe Mixon is a possibility too), so also adding a Tazer/speed type like James or Scott would really shore up the RB depth chart. The listed GPAs of these three (3.7, 3.0, 3.7 respectively) makes me happy. Btw, though Tony James doesn't have much in the way of video available for free that I could find/link in my two seconds of looking, the premium stuff I can access via rivals is very impressive. Like Scott, his reel is one long TD run after another where he never seems to get touched. Dude has both straight line speed and quick stutter steps/change of direction. Even in the tapes from the camps where he's matched up against other D1 prospects, his speed stands out above the rest. He'd be a major pull

That'd be great. Though tOSU will be ready to poach and do the same as Tosh and Sarkisian are doing ala spewing sanctions.

So we have Jelks and some JUCO guy recieving interest for our D-line. What about others? Plus, what's the deal with Purcell?
 
Alabama RB Racean Thomas list the Ducks in his early top 4. He'll be visiting the state for the first time this summer attending The Opening

Friekh out! Arizona OL Layth Friekh gets a Duck offer. He's spoken very highly about UO and Eugene... crossing my fingers on this one

Damn NCAA screwed him over.

Heh. Nice pun. I can see why RichRod wants him. He's a perfect size for his offense.
 
Even with the USC offer Freeman still has Oregon/UCLA in top 2

New offers out
LB Chase Winovich
lb Jimmie Swain
ol/C Bryce Holland
 
That's good to hear. He sees the RB depth at USC and doesn't want in. I think he will hold off until December though.

Hope we can grab these kids, but Winovich looks like a Michigan lock.
 
Coach Lubick is on the East Coast recruiting his Duke stomping grounds. 247 & Scout are reporting NC WR Trevion Thompson received a Duck offer yesterday

Elite 11 QB camps are going on all over the country including in the Bay Area where Duck commit Morgan Mahalak is participating along with many other D1 prospects. Here's the review/ranking from 247 following Friday...

1. Morgan Mahalak, Greenbrae (Calif.) Marin Catholic

The Oregon coaching staff has proven to have a fantastic eye for talent at the quarterback position but on Friday, it didn’t take an expert to recognize that Mahalak was elite. The 6-3, 190-pound Oregon commit was organized and efficient in his delivery and was one of the most comfortable quarterbacks at the event delivering the football outside the pocket. He showed plenty of arm and only got better as the day progressed. In a camp-closing pressure drill with the entire camp looking on, Mahalak had the best performance of the finalists.

Ducks offer Bay Area Strong Side DE Matt Dickerson. While unrated (by rivals) now, a glance at his offers is probably a better indication of what sort of prospect he is. I couldn't find any public highlight tape, but he comes off really well in this interview. In it he relays that he's currently 6'5 275

Offered Springs, Strong chance of landing him. I also believe that it ends our infatuation with Lockett.

247 claims we are only looking at 2 DB spots. but I feel we'll take 3. Ideally springs, McGraw, Baker. Looks like we're passing on Adoree, and Hale or will be late to the party if we miss out on our targets.

Arrion Springs is a Safety out of San Antonio Tx. who has been really wanting a Duck offer



isn't Lockett more of a CB?

Espn/247 list springs as a CB, scout/rivals as a S. Remember our two other main DB targets are often looked at as S, McGraw and Baker. I suspect two will end up at CB and one will compete at S in the end.
Just call them DB's and be done with it.

I just looked it up. ESPN 247 Scout & Rivals all list Lockett as a CB

He's got the offer. Why the wait from Springs?

Also, new DTs have popped up in the JUCO ranks. Any luck that we could offer them?
 
 
rivals relayed that Lockett named the Ducks in his top 4 just last week. He said he's looking forward to visiting the state for the first time for The Opening this summer.

Also a new OLine offer just went out to Texas big boy Demetrius Knox who immediately named Oregon as one of his top 5

Knox is gonna be tough. Aside from Miami, those are good schools he has in that top 5. UCLA has been making strong progress in Texas.

we've become Mixon's 50th offer, little late but he has interest.

from what I've read, we're one of his main interests. He's retweeted dozens of congrats from followers on the UO offer and had this to say himself... "I'm so Blessed to Recieve My 50th Offer From Oregon Ducks!!!! "

I'm reminded of conversations, here and elsewhere, where fans pined for greater emphasis of the passing game. Getting interest from top RBs every offseason is why I'm for sticking with the current run heavy formula.

Andrew Williams from Georgia loves USC and Oregon and will take visits out.

Nice to see Mixon has interest. Let's make a BCS or the title game or impress.
 
New D-Line offer out to a high profile kid from Texas named Solomon Thomas... he's not the typical stork that they've been going after but dude can sure move

back to the stork prototype, Ducks offer another Texas DE named Grant Blankenship

Fun, what's the status on Featherston or is he sticking to the SE? If not, Grant looks like a good rebound option.

And whats the status on D-line offers?
 
Rumor of a silent commit that might announce in a fewdays or what not. Started on Scout. Speculation includes Jones, Mondeaux. A rumor from the doogs is that JC DE Tui Talia has switched his commitment from the Doogs to Oregon.

The HS year is just ending, so prospects are about to have free time on their hands to sort through their options making visits & attending camps. From what I gather Oregon doesn't just offer a kid if they're interested in him and he checks out character wise, he also has to reciprocate the interest. As of now the Ducks have many offers out to DLine prospects all over the country, but the tape from that Thomas kid I just relayed has him at the top of my wish list for this class. I think he'd be a beast of a DT/NT. He's expressed interest in pursuing a degree in Sports Management/Business...

Hopkins made a crystal ball for DE Tui Talia to Oregon, so it looks like he may be our next commit.
