Jesse Biddle, Aaron Sanchez, and Stefan Sabol sound like some studs.

Biddle at 6'6" 225lbs could be a best. 5-0 with a 0.64 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 33 innings, NICE.

Yeah later in the article it was saying a good amount of the guys were top 100 players. Lets just hope we make it through the Draft without losing many of them.

With three top class signings Horton is well on his way to getting the Ducks to the elite level. In just a few years the Ducks could very well be competing for a NC in both football and baseball and be a elite 8, maybe final 4 basketball team, not to mention womens volleyball and basketball and of course track and field and cross country. Man it is good to be a Duck! :P

Baseball recruiting has been pretty misleading. Oregon only had the #2 recruiting class in the country the first time around because they signed an entire team. Quantity vs. quality. Last year, the Ducks snuck into the top 25 behind Maztek and Marisnick, neither of whom came to Eugene. We'll have to see who renegades on their LOI's in favor of the draft this year before this class can be considered top 25..
